About Charlie

Charlie is one of the many cats we spot each week, ready for a loving home. His adoption fee is waived, although a small $20 license fee may apply. Charlie will require some extra time and patience to adjust to his new environment. It’s beneficial to create a quiet sanctuary for him to help him feel safe. A room with food, water, a cozy bed, toys, a scratching post, and a litter box will provide a comforting space. Include hiding spots and perches to give him options for security. Once Charlie has settled in, a gradual introduction to other pets and areas of the home will show him that it's okay to explore. With the right care and understanding, he will eventually come out of his shell, ready to bond with his new family. Ready to make a difference in Charlie's life? Apply today!
