Charles

Meet Charles — a big 'ol tomcat with an even bigger personality!<br/><br/>Charles is about three years old and wandered onto a farm site looking a little rough around the edges. At first he kept his distance, but it didn't take long for him to show everyone that underneath that tough-guy exterior, he's actually a friendly, charming dude. With a bit of convincing (and probably a few snacks), he was corralled and brought in to be neutered — and now he's ready for a whole new chapter.<br/><br/>Charles is not a fan of kennel life. He prefers the freedom and comfort of a real home where he can still enjoy being a tomcat but with all the perks: warmth, safety, good food, and people who care about him. He'd make a great shop cat, too — the kind who supervises your projects and chats with you while you work.<br/><br/>He does have FIV (see details below), so he'll need to be the only cat. But if you have room in your heart and home for a big, appreciative boy who's ready to thrive, Charles will repay you with loyalty, gratitude... and plenty of stories. He's a talker, and he'll definitely keep you entertained throughout the day.<br/><br/>Come meet Charles — he's ready to show you just how wonderful a rescued tomcat can be.<br/><br/>Charles is currently at PetSmart in Hutchinson. Visit during normal business hours. Or contact us for a private appointment. <br/>Learn more about adopting a pet at heartofminnesota.org<br/><br/><br/><br/>FIV — Feline Immunodeficiency Virus — is a virus that affects a cat's immune system. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives with good care.<br/><br/>Key points: <br/>- It's similar to HIV in humans but only affects cats — it cannot spread to people or other animals. <br/>- Its mainly transmitted through deep bite wounds, which is why FIV cats should live as the only cat or with other FIV positive cats. <br/>- FIV cats can enjoy normal lives: playing, snuggling, exploring, and being wonderful companions. <br/>- FIV cats are absolutely adoptable — they just need the right home and a little extra understanding.
