Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Charlie & Felix: the Bashful Buddy Brothers!
Charlie and Felix are the kind of cats who steal your heart quietly—one soft meow, one brave step, one earned cuddle at a time.
These two are we call “bashful buddies.” They started out very shy, but with patience, gentle voices, and consistency, they’ve blossomed into sweet, affectionate boys who just need a little time to feel safe. Trust is their love language—and once you earn it, it’s incredibly special.
Charlie is a secret cuddlebug. When he’s comfortable, he loves scratches and affection and has a habit of inviting his favorite humans along for cozy moments. He’ll meow to get your attention, lead you to the bedroom, hop on the bed, and happily soak up all the pets—clearly a cat who enjoys meaningful routines and quiet connection.
Felix is the comedian of the pair. He’s full of personality and famous for his “pet me / don’t pet me / okay now you can” routine. He may circle you dramatically while food is being prepared (very official safety inspection), but he’s also known to curl up on the couch or plop himself right on your belly in bed. He loves pets—he’s just still figuring out how brave he feels in the moment, and will happily meow until the affection arrives.
One of their favorite daily traditions is something called “rubs & grubs.” While food bowls are being filled, they circle around for pets, rub against each other, and soak up affection before heading to dinner. It’s easy to picture this sweet ritual continuing in their forever home.
Charlie and Felix would truly do best adopted together. They lean on each other for confidence and comfort, and their bond is a beautiful thing to witness. They are gentle, kind souls who have never hissed—even when meeting strangers. New people may find Charlie retreating to a safe spot and Felix observing from afar, but given time and consistency, they always warm up.
A quick heads-up: during a meet-and-greet, these boys may choose to hide. Please don’t let that fool you. With patience and love, Charlie and Felix will reward you with affection, trust, and a deep, meaningful bond that feels earned in the very best way.
If you’re looking for two sweet, sensitive brothers who will grow with you and love you quietly but deeply, Charlie and Felix just might be your perfect match.
