Charlie's Story

Meet Charlie! 🌿<br/><br/>Charlie is a 12 year old black cat. He is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated (FVRCP). He was surrendered to us 12/6/25 due to him fighting with other cats. The owner stated he wanted to be the dominant/top cat. However, we've had him in a condo with other cats and he's been doing great.<br/><br/>If you move too fast with him he gets shy and nervous. However, if you move at his pace he'll let you pet him. He is an older boy so he enjoys lounging around and gazing out the window. A catio or time outside might even be nice for him.
