Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Cumberland, Maine

Harbor is a beautiful brown tiger tabby with soulful eyes and a gentle, sensitive nature. She's a bit of a shy girl who prefers to take her time getting to know new people. She has made amazing progress since arriving at HART, and has even become a greeter in her room.

While Harbor isn't outwardly affectionate with people right away, she can be gently encouraged with a Churu treat, which she happily accepts as a way to build trust and connection. Her favorite thing ever is to be active and play! She is an expert laser-pointer hunter, and will impress you with her moves. She has a special affinity for older children and is very interested in them, often choosing to be nearby, and can match their calmer, respectful energy in a way that helps her feel comfortable and engaged. She does well with other cats and particularly enjoys the company of calm cats, especially the boys, though she's also content to coexist peacefully.

One of Harbor's favorite comforts is a really soft, fuzzy blanket - give her a cozy place to burrow, and you'll quickly see her relax and settle in. Harbor would thrive in a quiet, patient home with older kids or adults who will allow her the time she needs to acclimate and build confidence. She is not on any medications and simply needs a calm environment, understanding, and consistency to truly blossom.

Harbor is also FIV+, which simply means she has a lowered immune system. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, normal lives and can safely live with other friendly cats. Our team is happy to answer any questions about what this means for her care.
