Wahn: Proof that cats do have 9 lives

And she’s looking to spend the rest of hers with you!

Wahn is an almost 3-year-old, black and white gal who has a striking white stripe on the right side of her face, a white chest, and white paws. She made her way to HART in early 2023 after being found as a stray. Wahn was extremely shy when she first arrived and avoided people and the cats in her room. She has warmed up to shelter life considerably and now shares more of her purrsonality with us.

When Room 3 is quiet, she plays with toys by herself. Although she may not go up to you and ask for attention, she does enjoy a bit of quality time with people—and if you approach her quietly and pet her gently, she may lean into your hand and close her eyes with delight! Sudden movements and noise startle her, so a relaxed and calm environment is more her speed.

We don't know her history, but during her intake exam, we discovered BB-sized pellets embedded in her left shoulder (these do not cause her discomfort, and we have chosen not to have them removed). It's possible she may have used up at least one of her nine lives and has stories to tell.

Wahn was adopted this past Spring, but unfortunately she did not get along with the resident cats and dog, so she was returned to us. Based on both this experience and her consistent dislike of hanging out with her feline roommates at the shelter, we feel that this pretty girl would do best in a quiet home without other animals and with a patient adopter who will help her to blossom into a confident and content kitty at her own pace. Complete an adoption application and come in to meet Wahn in Room 3.

Please visit our website for more information about adopting from HART and to access our online adoption application here. For the health and safety of all of our cats and kittens, we adopt to indoor-only homes.
