Charlie

Meet Charlie (Charlotte)<br/>Female | Estimated 4–5 years old | Spayed<br/>📍 Currently in foster care in Cantley, QC<br/><br/>Charlie, lovingly known as Charlotte, is a gentle and resilient cat who came into our care under heartbreaking circumstances. In the summer of 2024, she was found abandoned outside Wakefield Hospital with her one-week-old kittens on an extremely hot day. While we were able to take the kittens into care immediately, it took nearly two weeks of dedicated effort to trap Charlie. Once safe, she was spayed and placed into foster care.<br/><br/>Charlie spent about a year in her first foster home, where she lived with a dog and did well. Unfortunately, when that dog became aggressive, Charlie needed to be moved. She was then placed into a new foster home — this time with both cats and dogs — where she settled in beautifully and was able to relax and be her silly, charming self again.<br/><br/>Charlie is a shy and sensitive girl who needs a bit of time to adjust to new environments and people. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality truly shines. While she isn’t a constant lap cat, she enjoys affection on her own terms and will come to you for pets and scratches. She likes to sleep on the bed, confidently walks around dogs, and will even “chat” from time to time.<br/><br/>Charlie does best in a calm home. She previously lived with a foster who had a young baby and was curious but respectful; however, due to her limited experience with children, we feel she would be happiest in a home without young children or with very calm, gentle kids.<br/><br/>She enjoys living with other cats and dogs and appreciates having vertical space. In her current foster home in Cantley, she loves lounging on perches and watching the wildlife outside — especially her foster’s chickens. Treats are the fastest way to her heart (she even knows the word “treat”!) and are a great way to build trust.<br/><br/>When Charlie was rescued, she was estimated to be 2–3 years old, making her approximately 4–5 years old now. She has so much life, love, and quiet companionship left to give to the right home.<br/><br/>Medical Information:<br/>Charlie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and dewormed. She is not currently microchipped, as vet visits are stressful for her; however, microchipping can be arranged prior to adoption if desired.<br/><br/>To set up an appointment to meet sweet Charlie, please email tnr.lapeche@gmail.com.<br/><br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Voici Charlie (Charlotte)<br/>Femelle | Âgée d’environ 4 à 5 ans | Stérilisée<br/>📍 Actuellement en famille d’accueil à Cantley, QC<br/><br/>Charlie, affectueusement appelée Charlotte, est une chatte douce et résiliente qui est arrivée à notre refuge dans des circonstances déchirantes. À l’été 2024, elle a été trouvée abandonnée devant l’Hôpital de Wakefield avec ses chatons âgés d’une semaine, lors d’une journée de grande chaleur. Bien que nous ayons pu prendre les chatons en charge immédiatement, il a fallu près de deux semaines d’efforts pour réussir à capturer Charlie. Une fois en sécurité, elle a été stérilisée et placée en famille d’accueil.<br/><br/>Charlie a passé environ un an dans sa première famille d’accueil, où elle vivait avec un chien et s’entendait bien avec lui. Malheureusement, lorsque ce chien est devenu agressif, Charlie a dû être déplacée. Elle a ensuite été accueillie dans une nouvelle famille d’accueil, cette fois avec des chats et des chiens, où elle s’est très bien adaptée et a pu redevenir elle-même — douce, attachante et parfois un peu rigolote.<br/><br/>Charlie est une chatte timide et sensible qui a besoin d’un peu de temps pour s’adapter à un nouvel environnement et à de nouvelles personnes. Une fois en confiance, sa belle personnalité ressort pleinement. Elle n’est pas une chatte constamment sur les genoux, mais elle apprécie les caresses à sa façon et viendra d’elle-même chercher de l’attention. Elle aime dormir sur le lit, se promener tranquillement parmi les chiens et « discuter » à l’occasion.<br/><br/>Charlie s’épanouit davantage dans un foyer calme. Elle a déjà vécu dans un foyer avec un jeune bébé, envers qui elle était curieuse mais respectueuse. Toutefois, en raison de son expérience limitée avec les enfants, nous croyons qu’elle serait plus heureuse dans un foyer sans jeunes enfants ou avec des enfants très calmes et doux.<br/><br/>Elle apprécie la présence d’autres chats et de chiens et aime avoir accès à des espaces en hauteur. Dans sa famille d’accueil à Cantley, elle adore se reposer sur ses perchoirs et observer la faune extérieure — particulièrement les poules de la famille. Les gâteries sont le chemin le plus rapide vers son cœur (elle reconnaît même le mot « gâterie » !) et constituent un excellent moyen de gagner sa confiance.<br/><br/>Lors de son sauvetage, Charlie était estimée âgée de 2 à 3 ans, ce qui lui donne aujourd’hui environ 4 à 5 ans. Elle a encore beaucoup de vie, d’amour et de douce compagnie à offrir à la bonne famille.<br/><br/>Informations médicales :<br/>Charlie est stérilisée, entièrement vaccinée et vermifugée. Elle n’est pas micropucée pour le moment, car les visites chez le vétérinaire sont stressantes pour elle; toutefois, la micropuce peut être installée avant l’adoption si désiré.<br/><br/>Pour prendre rendez-vous afin de rencontrer le doux Charlie, veuillez écrire à tnr.lapeche@gmail.com
