Meet Charleston, a serene and independent cat who cherishes his quiet moments. At the shelter, he's known for his calm demeanor, often found lounging in cozy corners, observing the world with a wise gaze. Charleston has displayed behaviors that indicate he can quickly become overstimulated when interacting with people or during play. These behaviors can quickly escalate to hissing, growling, swatting and/or biting. Because of this, Charleston would do best in a home with children 8 years of age or older. Charleston enjoys the company of humans on his own terms, preferring gentle interactions and peaceful companionship. He's perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with a mellow personality and a self-sufficient nature. Adopt Charleston, and gain a quietly affectionate friend who brings tranquility and independence to your home. Charleston's ideal home: - Children 8 years and up
