Charlie

My story

Charlie is a gentle and sweet-as-pie 3-year-old girl looking for her forever home. This pretty girl loves napping in her bed in the windowsill. She also likes to snuggle in your lap or on your chest. She has a tremendous purr when she snuggles or gets pets. Adorably she has a high squeaky chirp that she chats with you to say hello or when she is exploring somewhere new. She also has a cardboard house that she has been “redecorating” (AKA nibbling on the cardboard). Charlie likes to start her day by snuggling you, and then usually will get back in her favorite bed to nap or bird-watch. She likes sitting on your desk if you work from home and appreciates having a desktop bed or blanket to lay on. She is usually a polite coworker, but she will sometimes sit on the keyboard if she has not gotten her allotment of cuddle time from you. A discerning gourmet, Charlie primarily likes dry food and grazes throughout the day. She will nibble on wet food if it’s offered but it’s not her favorite. She likes to try to “bury” her uneaten food to save it for later. Charlie has long, fine hair so she will require regular daily brushing to help keep her fur in good shape and to prevent hairballs. Please ignore her somewhat unglamorous haircut, as she had to get some matting shaved off when she came into foster care! She doesn't mind brushing at all; she is usually happy to sit still and will even offer some purrs. This pretty girl is not super playful but sometimes likes to play with wand toys or the Tower of Balls toy. Overall, she is just a chill kitty who is happy to hang out with her person! Charlie currently lives in a quiet foster home with 2 adults and 2 resident cats. She is reserved around new visitors and unfamiliar noises, so she would prefer a quiet home. This lovely fluffy gal does not need a ton of space, and in fact maybe would prefer a smaller home. Because of her quiet personality, Charlie may take a bit longer than your average cat to warm up, and she will need a dedicated safe space like a spare bedroom or office that she can stay in while getting comfortable with her new family. Her foster mom can give you plenty of tips on how to charm a shy kitty such as herself. Once she trusts you, she has so much love and affection to offer. She previously lived with no other animals and is happy to be your one-and-only cat. (However, her foster family is experimenting to see if she can get along with the resident cats after gentle introductions.) She has also shared a home with older children (10+) and loved to sleep in bed with them at night. If you would enjoy a quieter, very loving cat who enjoys regular spa sessions with the grooming brush as well as keeping an eye on your daily activities, Charlie is the gal for you!
