Charna's Story

Charna is a stunning, pure-black beauty who has made incredible progress since coming into foster care. Once cautious and unsure, she is now revealing her truly sweet nature. Charna happily purrs when she’s being petted and will actively seek out people for affection, gently asking for pats and attention.<br/><br/>She has grown more confident around humans and now allows herself to be picked up, a big milestone for her. While she still appreciates calm, respectful interactions, it’s clear that Charna enjoys human companionship and is learning just how good it feels to be loved.<br/><br/>One of her favourite pastimes remains sitting by the window, quietly watching the world go by. She would do best in a peaceful, only-cat household where she can continue to feel secure and build strong bonds with her people. A home without small children would be ideal so she can thrive without feeling overwhelmed.<br/><br/>Charna is becoming a truly affectionate, gentle cat who will reward patience and kindness with purrs, head rubs, and devoted companionship. She’s ready for a forever home where she can continue to grow into the loving cat she’s meant to be.<br/><br/>Would you like to make Charna a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: www.avacats.org/adoption-application-form.<br/><br/>Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two dewormings and microchipping.<br/><br/>Adoption fees are $250 for each adult cat 1 year or older.
