Harlin - BONDED PAIR

*PART OF A BONDED PAIR - PAIR MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER* My name is Harlin. I am a handsome fellow with a sleek, shiny black coat, satin white belly, and dapper white legs and paws. I want pets almost more than my dinner. Just approach me and I am ready for a head rub or a roll on the floor with feet in the air, waiting for you to grab a back leg and rock me gently from side to side. My sister, Helga, and I are kept in the back room of our foster home and when our foster mom heads for the door to leave, I follow, grab for her pant leg, and she lovingly obliges me with one more pet. We enjoyed love and affection in the past but for reasons unknown, we found ourselves out on the street, left to fend on our own for our very existence. Life was hard, we were hungry, cold, and ill. Helga came down with Calicivirus and Harlin lost his right eye. Thankfully, we were eventually rescued, but were completely traumatized by our time on the street. We were wild with fear and responded by hissing, spitting, and striking out with a paw to any attempt of kindness. Our foster mom and dad did not try to touch us and patiently just let us be. It took a long time for us to once again enjoy human touch. Our foster parents take good care of us. We have fresh water, food, treats, lots of toys and a wonderful cat tree, but we are waiting and yearning for more pets and cuddles than our foster parents can provide. There is competition for attention, and we must share our foster parents with all the other cats in the home. Our veterinarian says that, with our Calicivirus history, it's best to be in a home with no other felines since it's possible for us to spread the virus, even if vaccines are up to date. We are the sweetest ever, a bonded pair, longing for love, affection and a home of our own. Harlin needs to be adopted with his sister, Helga. Harlin was born around July 12, 2020, and is currently being fostered in Naugatuck. He is fixed, up-to-date on shots, is microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Applications for adoption can be found on our website at www.fosterandforever.org. Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24-48 hours.
