My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who is ready to adopt the most purrfect sidekick?  Chatterbox Charlie is looking to be your best buddy who will never leave your side. He chatters away at you as if to say “I’m here. What are we going to do today and I hope it involves food!” He is on a food sensitivity diet which he devours with no issues.  The regular food seemed to make him a little itchy, but that all calmed down with the special food. 

Chatterbox loves to chase toys and play with shoestrings.  He really just seems so happy and excited to be around people.  When sitting on the couch he does almost full circles from your feet, to lap, to chest, to your head - it’s like he can’t show you enough attention when he realizes someone is there to relax and have snuggle time and can’t decide which will be his favorite spot on you to settle down. 

He does have an old rear leg injury which is not noticeable except when he stretches.  He doesn’t quite have full range of motion to kick his leg all the way back. It does not impact his walking, running or ability to jump.  Chatterbox Charlie’s resilience as well as his adoration of people is actually pretty amazing to see considering he would have likely been just another stray if not for Forgotten Cats. He is great with kids and was previously fostered with other cats.  If you are looking for a little constant sidekick to chat with and snuggle with, Charlie is your guy!

Chatterbox is FIV+.  We have found that FIV+ cats tend to be extra lovey-dovey.  They can live and play with FIV- cats.  Please check out the quick facts sheet. 
 
Chatterbox is playing with his foster family.  Please submit our no-obligation adoption application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster: Linnea M.)

More about this rescue

Founded in 2003, Forgotten Cats, Inc. is the leading trap, neuter, vaccinate, return (TNVR) nonprofit in the region. Servicing Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, Forgotten Cats specializes in TNVR in order to humanely reduce the homeless cat population. Valuing all lives, Forgotten Cats is a no kill organization.

Forgotten Cats’ TNVR services involve working with colony caregivers to identify all cats within a colony, after which we trap, transport, sterilize, vaccinate, recuperate, and return feral cats to caregivers. Our goal is to stabilize each colony and ensure zero population growth. We achieve this by trapping and sterilizing every single cat in the entire colony.

About 20 percent of the cats that enter our clinics each year are not feral. Stray cats, or homeless domesticated cats, and feral kittens under 12 weeks old, are held and placed into our adoption network. With ten off-site adoption centers, our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to prepare our cats for adoption and ensure they go to loving, forever homes.

Forgotten Cats serves the community by offering affordable TNVR services, low cost spay/neuter services for pet & stray cats, and spay/neuter education.

Forgotten Cats has over 700 volunteers that are committed to helping this organization fulfill its mission. We receive no government funding, and depend solely on private donations, grants, fundraising events, and bequests to complete our mission.

Since 2003, Forgotten Cats has sterilized over 130,000 cats across the region, which has prevented the birth and suffering of millions of kittens. Additionally, we have placed over 14,000 cats into loving, forever homes. At our no-kill clinic/shelters, we welcome the FIV+ & FeLV+ cats, the blind, the 3-legged, the lost, those that have been abused, and those that have been abandoned. We offer love and hope to the Forgotten Cats from all walks of life.

Vision:
We envision a day when kittens are no longer born on the streets but rather in loving homes to responsible owners.

Mission:
Our mission is to humanely reduce the homeless cat population and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.

Not quite sure you are ready to be a full-time cat parent? Please consider our foster program! You can care for a cat/kitten for as little as two days, a couple of weeks, or longer. It's up to you. Please contact us! https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/
