About Charlie

Meet Charlie! This gentle giant knows exactly how to enjoy life. Always ready for affection, he loves to soak up all the pets you can offer. One of his favorite activities is getting brushed, and he'll make it clear just how much he appreciates the attention. When Charlie hears you nearby, he emerges from his cozy spot to greet you. If you’re lucky, he might even roll over and show you his belly—a sure sign he's primed for some extra love. Charlie is FIV+ but that doesn’t hold him back. Cats with FIV can lead full and happy lives with the right care. It’s essential for potential adopters to understand that FIV is spread through deep bites, not through cuddling or sharing food bowls. He’ll thrive best as an indoor companion, where he can be safe, relaxed, and loved. Charlie is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $75.00. He’s a perfect match for someone seeking a mellow, cuddly friend. Ready to find out if Charlie is the one for you?
