About Charmander

Meet Charmander! Charmander brings his namesake’s charisma to real life—he’s a confident, gentle kitten with a steady, warm personality. At only four months old, he already weighs in at five pounds and shows all the makings of a sturdy, loving companion. Despite his size, he’s quiet and incredibly sweet, delighted by gentle pets and especially enjoys belly rubs from those he trusts. You’ll find him striking a balance between bursts of playful energy—think springy toys and scaling the highest cat tree—and stretches of relaxing by your side or curled up on a soft blanket. At night, Charmander loves sleeping at the foot of the bed but also feels right at home just dozing on the sofa nearby. He craves companionship and connection but doesn’t demand constant attention—a presence, not a shadow. Charmander does great with other cats and is wonderful with children. He’s cautious around dogs but, with slow introductions to a calm, cat-friendly pup, he’ll likely settle in well. For his happiness, he must join a home with another kitten or a friendly resident cat. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and FIV/FELV negative. Born August 13, Charmander is a proud Leo, so expect a little extra heart and loyalty. Ready to meet your new best friend?
