My story

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

Introducing: Cheeky Charles!  

Charles is a handsome brown tabby with a heart as big as his cheeks! Seriously though—have you ever seen such huge pettable cheeks in your life??? Charles has a somewhat reserved (but not shy!) demeanor. He loves to lounge around, especially in front of a big window where he can do some bird watching.   

There are two main ways to Charles’s heart—catnip and brushing. Charles LOVES being brushed, especially with a slicker type brush with fine soft bristles. Sometimes he gets so blissed out while being brushed that he actually starts to drool! And the best part? His favorite place to be brushed is his cheeks! He also adores catnip, and those little fabric toys stuffed with catnip. He’ll roll around and purr and show his belly with appreciation! 

Charles is around 1.5 years old. He can be particular about his feline friends. So far, he seems to not mind cats with calm or meek personalities. However, he really doesn’t appreciate cats with strong, outgoing personalities. Charles wants his peace and he wants to be the star or the show. He would do fine as an only cat, or in a house with another shy or quiet cat, especially a female cat. He’s very relaxed around all of our volunteers, and would probably do well in a variety of households, including those with children. We haven’t observed him around dogs, but based on his interactions with the more outgoing cats in our space, it’s very possible that he might not appreciate their particular type of friendship!

All cats are up-to-date on age/weight appropriate vaccines, exams, FIV/FeLV tested (negative), flea treated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and microchipped. If not completed at the time of adoption, any remaining initial vetting will be covered by the rescue.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Guidelines:
- Before scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our adoptable cats or dogs, you must complete an application and interview with an adoption team member.
- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.
- If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating the landlord permits pets along with the landlord’s contact information.
- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.
- We reserve the right to perform a home visit.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.

Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.
