About Charles
Charles is a young male cat who is bright, alert, and responsive. He has tested positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), which requires ongoing veterinary care and close monitoring. Currently, he is receiving supportive care at the shelter. While Charles has a friendly demeanor, he needs a low-stress indoor environment where he can be separated from other cats who are negative for these viruses. His history of gastrointestinal issues also means he may need further diagnostics and treatment depending on his recovery. Charles deserves a safe, compassionate home that can meet his medical needs. He's at risk for euthanasia due to the level of care he requires, which exceeds what the shelter can provide. If you're interested in helping Charles, please reach out via email to dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
