Harriot - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption

Harriot is a senior cat that tolerates some attention and petting but has a threshold and may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and does not do well with children. She may be a little more independent, may need time to warm up to her new home, and may have a limited threshold for petting due to overstimulated and some ouchy joints in her back legs. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in calm and quiet, experienced, adult-only home.
