This charming white and orange feline has been a part of the UTSA family since 2012 and was cherished for his unique blend of grouchy yet silly personality, bringing smiles to the faces of both students and faculty alike.

Vanishing Act
The last sighting of Harry occurred on December 12, during one of his evening feedings, but since then, he has mysteriously vanished, leaving many wondering where he could be.

This heartfelt event, initiated by a caring student, will provide a special space for everyone to share memories and reflect on the positive impact Harry has had on their lives.
