Full of heart and handsome to boot, this guy is Hartley. Hartley was brought in as an injured stray with signs of ownership and having recent medical care, but he wasn’t reclaimed. Hartley lives life like a king with everything on demand. He’ll climb into your lap or give you ‘hugs’ with his paws over his shoulders, sometimes going all the way up for a ride! He retained a bit of a street-savvy cat’s edge, getting mouthy when he’s overstimulated or excited to eat. (Like we said, he’s the one in charge here.) Hartley likes to hunt and enjoys kicker toys that he can grab and sit on, though he’ll chase toys around too!

Hartley seems to have a dense coat and could use some support with the brush despite being shorthair. Due to his background, we don’t know how Hartley feels about living with cats, dogs, and kids. With his occasional rough play behavior, slow introductions and temperament matches would be essential to a harmonious home. Hartley may be a cat who gives love on his terms, but the love he gives is intense! He’s ready to rule the roost again… just as soon as he gets out of that cone.
