About Carl Catnip

Carl Catnip has had quite the identity twist. Originally thought to be Dolly, this charming orange-and-white tabby quickly won hearts with his endearing shyness and signature long lashes—no surprise he fooled everyone! Now a confirmed dashing gentleman, Carl is ready for an indoor life where he can trade stormy nights for the quiet joys of a devoted family. He’s known to give little ankle love-nips when excited—adorable, but you’ll want to pass if you have small kids. Affectionate by nature, Carl craves attention and warm snuggle sessions, though he’ll need a bit of patience as he settles into proper house cat living. Currently staying outdoors in Ellijay, GA (dog housemates aren’t his crowd), Carl dreams of a safe spot to finally just be a cat without worry. He’s funny, smart, and surprisingly independent for one so cuddly. He’s neutered, up to date on shots, and microchipped—all ready for his next chapter. Ready to fall in love?
