Charlie is about eight months old and landed in rescue alongside his best friend, Ashley. When he arrived, he was in rough shape, but with some solid veterinary care, he bounced back and now he's gearing up for his vaccinations and neuter surgery. Charlie is quieter than Ashley—more reserved, still warming up to the everyday kindness and comforts of his foster home. His foster family is putting in the time to help him build confidence and safety, and he’s already making progress. Charlie is the kind of cat who needs patience and gentle encouragement, but with that, he'll turn into a devoted companion. He’s one of those fosters who gets a little bolder each day, learning how good life can be. For his future home: all current and recent pets in the house need to be spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and cats should test negative for FIV/FeLV—these standards are important to provide him with the right start. Vet checks are standard. Charlie gets along with cats, dogs, and children. If you have love to give and patience to share, Charlie might be the perfect fit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
