Meet Charity, the tuxedo girl with a curious streak and a heart full of love! One of the adorable Virtue Kitties, Charity was born in a quiet backyard alongside her siblings—Noble, Valor, Purity, and Harmony—where their brave mama kept them safe and warm. From day one, Charity’s bright eyes and playful spirit made her stand out, and she’s been charming everyone around her ever since.
This clever little girl has learned a few tricks along the way—her foster mom has taught her to come on command, whether it’s for food or affection! She loves to explore, investigate, and see what you’re up to, but she’s just as happy curling up once playtime is over. Charity thrives on attention and enjoys the company of her siblings or friendly cats and she’d love you to consider adopting Noble, Valor Purity or Harmony.
Curious, affectionate, and endlessly charming, Charity is ready to bring joy, purrs, and playful antics to her forever home.
