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 kitten who can keep up with his foster siblings, no problemo! He walks around the house with his tail held high and happily accepts human hands reaching out to pet him randomly. 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 to drape himself over a shoulder and join the viewing party.
Harlo would love to be adopted with one of his foster siblings from the Math Cat family (Leonhard, Newton, Katherine, or Isac). He is especially fond of his surrogate mom, Emi. His foster home has no dogs, so his feelings about a canine companion have yet to be determined.
