Adopt-a-Cat: Charlie

May 1, 2012

Charlie is available for adoption through City Kitties. She is 2-3 years old. Charlie was rescued by a concerned volunteer who didn’t want to see this sweet kitty on the streets this winter. Originally the rescuer thought Charlie was a boy, but a close look proved she was a girl, but the name stuck anyway.

Charlie always likes to be in the same room as people, so you won’t be lonely. She doesn’t like to be picked up, but will snuggle on the couch, in bed, on your lap, etc. like a champ! Charlie loves to play with fuzzy toys and will scurry after a laser pointer all day long. What she is really looking for is a quiet home with humans to give her lots of pets, food and chin scratches.

She gets along with other cats, but she would do best in a house with her people to herself. Charlie is spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed. To fill out an adoption application, go here.
