Founders Hall, completed in 1833, sits at the center of Haverford College's upper campus and serves as an icon for the college.
Faculty at Haverford College are looking for a more permanent home for a feline who's taken quite the liking to its Main Line campus after sustaining a bit of an injury.
His real name is Valentino, but is better known by the student body as HaverCat. Recently, the cat - who has quite the social media following on both Facebook and Instagram - had to be taken to the vet.
Dawn Heckert, the circulation services and building coordinator at the school's library, told Philly.com that she found the cat crying with a swollen leg. A trip to the vet found that HaverCat may have been hit by something heavy, or even hit by a car.
"We are looking for the next step," Heckert told Philly.com.
Don't worry; #HaverCat was injured but is on the mend & looking for a new forever home. https://t.co/x0rjUyJuSU

For now, HaverCat is staying with another faculty member.
Though he only wandered into the campus in December, HaverCat made quite the impression on many.
Haverford College has a cat in their library and he is so chill. Temple why do we not have this? I would be at the library more. #havercat
