Charlie (about 5 months old as of 12/5/23) is a spayed female cool-toned brown tabby shorthaired kitten. Charlie and her sisters were born to a feral cat in Winthrop Harbor that we've been trying to trap and spay for over 2 years. Thankfully we finally caught her this time, but her 3 newest daughters were about 10 weeks old and already turning feral. With some intense TLC in a foster home they've made a lot of progress and are now ready to be adopted as pet cats. Charlie plays a kind of "middle sister" role and was the second kitten to start trusting humans. She's a smart little girl that loves to play and when she gets tired she might even fall asleep in your lap, at least for a little while. She likes being pet and is starting to enjoy being held for brief periods. She gets along great with her sisters and would probably do best adopted along with one of them or as a little sister to another young playful kitty. She has never lived with a dog and because she's a little more shy we think she'd do best in a cat only household without any especially young children that couldn't give a shy kitty more space and quiet time as she gets used to them.
