Meet Harlo! This adorable mini-panther was approximately nine weeks old when he entered Kitty Devore’s foster care on July 19, 2024.
Someone brought Harlo to Devore Animal Shelter after being found at a structure fire in Fontana. Luckily, he only suffered singed whiskers and fur. When he arrived at his foster home, Harlo was understandably nervous around people. Even though he was scared, he was a perfect gentleman when given a bath on the first day. Signs quickly appeared, indicating that he was becoming more comfortable – his toys would be moved from their original spots, and tiny black paws started appearing under the door of his room when curious kittens were waiting outside.
It didn’t take long for this little guy to transform into a confident and playful kitty who can keep up with his foster siblings, no problemo! He walks around the house with his tail held high (usually in an adorable candy cane formation) and happily accepts human hands reaching out to pet him. He can’t resist turning on the motor when picked up and cuddled. Harlo also enjoys phone screens and watching TV – he’ll hop up on the back of the couch so he can drape himself over a shoulder and join the viewing party.
Harlo has a special knack for befriending all of the kitties he meets, but he is especially fond of his foster brother, Leonhard, the yang to his yin. It would be ideal if they could be adopted together. There are no dogs in his foster home, so his feelings about a canine companion have yet to be determined.
