Harper is a very confident 1 1/2 year-old little lady. She enjoys sleeping in the sun all day and curling up on soft bed covers. She loves playing with anything and everything left to her for toys. She enjoys chasing bugs as her little hunter self. Harper is a little shy and quite independent preferring the other cats to people, although sometimes she will follow you around until she gets what she wants (dinner or toys or a quick pet). She would be perfect for a family that is looking to find a companion for an existing pet or a family that would like to adopt more than one cat. Harper is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed and has tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia.

For more information, please contact her foster mother, Karla @ redefinedesign@excite.com
