Here's what the humans have to say about me:
PLEASE MEET our Charming and Chillin' CHARLIE!
CHARLIE is a very sweet and mellow boy with beautiful green eyes, looking for a quiet and loving FOSTER or even more desired FUREVER HOME with FURRY COMPANY if possible!. He is definitively more cute and beautiful than the camera can capture! PLEASE NOTE - URGENT FOSTER NEEDED for him for 4 MONTHs between OCT to JAN, as his current foster Mom iwill be traveling during that period.
CHARLIE was spotted at a feeding station of a cat colony and his tender and gentle features made it immediately apparent that he did not belong on the street, circling around the legs of his rescuer begging to be noticed and taken off the street. So of course no hesitation there, she scooped him up and went home with him.
Although a bit cautious at first in his foster home, CHARLIE adjusted so amazingly well that it was clear that he was a former house cat but didn't seem to have received much attention by his former owner. He was very very observing at the beginning - almost like he doesn't want to disturb his foster Mom, just patiently waiting to get some attention.
This has completely changed now and CHARLIE came really out of his shell enjoying many pets and playtime - almost with a smiley face. He is truly developing into a great companion, coming to his foster Mom for love and gentle strokes when she calls him and thanking her with the loudest purr ever. And oh boy you can see his sparks when she calls out for him and jingles with his favorite toys - his fish wand or the dive into the tunnel fun game - CHARLIE zips right into action so he doesn't miss out on a second of the fun

We are SO THRILLED to have rescued him and not to have missed his gentle and affectionate demeanor
CHARLIE is the ultimate companion for someone that is looking for a deep feline soul and chillin' buddy that hangs out with him/her, but also accepts that he has his trips of independency when the time is right for "just chilling out and watching you". Nevertheless, he is seeking human companionship to the the fullest and a space at bedtime near you is a must.
We noticed that outdoors CHARLIE was really a fan of other strays, giving head butts and nuzzled with them. Even outdoors, he was very playful and became very flirty with them. Thus in general we are looking for him for a loving and quiet furever or foster home with another kitty so he can adjust in no time and further blossom into that purrfect companion he has truly inside himself.
AGAIN - priority is LONGTERM FOSTER HOME for 4 months btw OCTOBER and JANUARY - if it has a residential kitty even better and of course if you are falling in love an adoption is always possible.
CHARLIE is fully vetted including dental, up to date with all shots, dewormed/ deflead and tested FIV/FELV negative
Please come and meet our charming CHARLIE, a soulful buddy ready to chill out with YOU!
