Harlan Bartholomeow Katz-Kaplan
Location: Washington DC, USA
I’ve been living in DC for a year and a half, and really missing my family’s kittys back home. After thinking about it for over a year, I finally decided to take the leap and adopt a kitten. I went to the shelter and fell in love with this adorable ginger kitten who wouldn’t stop purring. I filled out the paperwork to adopt him, only to find out that someone had already put in an adoption form for him. A week later, the shelter called and told me his first adopters fell through, and did I still want him. I was thrilled!
Harlan is a feisty little fellow just like his namesake, Justice Harlan (I)! Harlan loves to climb things, especially the screen door, and when I come home from school or work, I hear him meowing at the front door. Every time the door opens, he runs out to the hallway, much to my dismay.
Harlan refuses to drink out of his bowl, preferring the fresh, cool water straight from the faucet. He also refuses to eat human food. Of late, he has developed a taste for ice cream, but only the expensive brands.
Harlan is quite a handful, but I love him very much! He also has his very own facebook page, which he loves to update

Have a great time with your ginger boy. I love them and have 2 at home.
Harlan is a very handsome Katz.
Obviously Harlan was destined for you! I love the account of his taste in food. Doesn’t eat human food but likes expensive ice cream? Well, he has good taste in ice cream–I’ll go along with that. Very dignified looking ginger guy.
Harlan sounds like an awesome kitten – and he was meant for you! He’s quite handsome!
Very handsome and regal.
Harlan and my ginger boy OJ are related – they are both Katz !!
I love orange tabbies – they are very devoted to their humans.
Many you and Harlan have many wonderful years together.
Harlan is a lovely kitty. I’m so glad you were able to adopt him. I love his story and I’ll check out his facebook page. ^ ^
what a lovely ginger stripey fellow! and so clever, updating his own facebook page
Kudos to you for taking in a rescue kitten, may you have many happy years together
That’s some good bone structure Harlan has.
My boy won’t eat any human food except for yogurt.
I’m so happy that your adoption worked out exactly as the Universe planned. There’s nothing like having our furry friends waiting for us when we get home.
I purchased a water fountain for my cats, hoping they’d find it as lovely as drinking from the running tap. Nope, but I guess we can’t blame them.

Harlan is indeed a regal looking fellow, who has clearly found a wonderful furrever home with you. Big paws and ears, he’ll be a cat of great substance! Wonder if he’d enjoy another kitty to play with while you’re away?
