About Charlie

Charlie is a gentle soul who seeks friendship with a soft paw and a warm purr. He has a sleek black coat and bright eyes that light up with curiosity. Rescued as a stray, he tested positive for FeLV but has since adapted beautifully to his surroundings, becoming a beloved companion at the shelter. While he enjoys being the calm presence in the room, Charlie loves playing with his toys and observing all the commotion from a peaceful corner. His character shines as he greets volunteers and supervises from his window perch. Charlie is open to sharing his space with mature, polite cats, though he'd be more than happy being the center of attention in your home. Since arriving, Charlie’s coat has come back nicely, transforming his appearance from a cheeky 'Mr. Baldy' into a dashing young man. He’s a quiet companion who loves gentle pets and the occasional game of chase. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing cat to keep you company, Charlie might just be the perfect fit. Consider bringing this lovely boy home and be part of his ongoing story!
