Meet Charlie, the handsome, five-year-old DSH orange tiger male kitty with a heart as big as his 22-pound frame! 🐾 This gentle giant is searching for his forever home after facing the cold, harsh world on the streets. Abandoned by his previous owner in the dead of winter, Charlie was discovered a year later, trying to survive. Can you imagine? This poor guy was hungry, tired, and cold. ❄️ But here’s the magic: Charlie is not just a survivor; he’s a sweetheart! With a curious mind and a desire to be involved in everything, he’s like that friend who wants to help with every task — he’s always there, observing your every move with companionship and love. While he’s not quite a lap cat yet, he's getting there! He craves attention, especially around his ears and head, where his foster dad loves to shower him with pets. 😊 When you come home, don’t be surprised if Charlie meets you at the door, tail high, ready to greet you with joy! He enjoys his lofty perch on his cat stand, watching the birds outside as if they’re providing the latest gossip. 🐦 Occasionally, he’ll indulge in playful moments, proving that he still has a youthful spirit despite his life experiences. Charlie cohabitates with six other cats in his foster home, which might be a bit overwhelming for him. He really needs a buddy or two in his forever home to keep him company. He particularly favors female cats but has also made friends with the males. This boy is neutered and has tested negative for FIV/FELV, making him ready to find his loving home! ❤️ Now, if you feel that your home could use an affectionate giant like Charlie, don't wait! Make sure to apply through the Buddy App for a chance to welcome this prince into your life! Your new furry friend can’t wait to meet you! 💖
