About Charlie

Meet Charlie, a sweet and affectionate young cat. He was found trying to get into a neighbor’s house, suggesting he once knew the comforts of home. Despite having faced the challenges of life outdoors, he remains friendly and seeks human companionship. Charlie loves attention and enjoys being close to people. He’s slowly learning what it means to feel safe again. Occasionally, he may give a gentle bite—it's his way of expressing a lingering need to protect himself, something that will fade as he finds more security in his new home. Charlie is FIV positive, which impacts his immune system, but with proper care and love, he can lead a fulfilling life. Many FIV-positive cats thrive indoors with good nutrition and regular vet visits. He is eager to leave the tough times behind and just be a loving house cat.
