Charlie is a lucky boy. He was taken in by a lovely couple having appeared in their garden in a pitiful state – injured, with matted hair which was riddled with fleas and severely underweight. They would have kept him, but unfortunately their own cat had other ideas, so by early November last year he was taken in to foster care.
With loving care from his foster family, Charlie has since slowly regained a full 1kg and is now a healthy weight. He has also recovered from a much-needed dental. The vet estimates Charlie is approximately 7-8 years old. Results of the associated blood test flagged that he has the early stages of kidney disease, but as this has been picked up really early, it can be controlled by his renal diet, which he eats well. He could be stable for years according to our vet.
Charlie is a very sweet-natured, gentle soul with lots of ginger fluff and the loudest purr! His fosterer says that he really is one of the loveliest foster cats they have had. He is definitely a people cat, loves company and is super-talkative. He absolutely loves strokes and fuss, immediately sits on your knees, and adores a cuddle. He is also happy relaxing in his box or on the bed.
Charlie needs a calm house and, as he has not attempted to get outside, he might be happy with an indoor life. As Charlie does still has plenty of play in him, however, he might well appreciate a sunny garden to lounge in if offered.
Charlie is microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. Charlie will go home with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
