About Charlie

Meet Charlie, a charming adult male cat looking for a loving home. Estimated to be around 5 years old, he has transitioned from life outdoors to indoor comfort and enjoys every moment of it. A playful spirit, Charlie thrives on attention, reveling in head and chin scratches. He has a strong hunting instinct and tends to hoard toys, often reluctant to give them up once he catches them. While he's got a bit of a territorial streak, especially around other cats, he knows his limits and responds quickly to correction. Charlie is litter box trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations, including his yearly distemper and three-year rabies shots. Food-wise, he's quite the foodie, enjoying a mix of wet and dry food—and he might even sneak a taste of your leftovers if given the chance. After an adventure, he loves to lounge in his cat cave, rejuvenating for more playtime. If you’re ready to shower Charlie with affection, he could be the purrfect addition to your home.
