Domestic Short Hair - Charlie - Small - Senior - Male - Cat in Novato, California For Sale

Domestic Short Hair - Charlie - Small - Senior - Male - Cat
Charlie is reminiscent of those old-fashioned orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream bars. He has a beautiful soft orange and white coat that is handsomely marked with classic tabby swirls. Charlie is here because his guardian of ten years had to move into an assisted living facility. Adjusting to the noise and activity of shelter life has been very difficult for Charlie: What in the world happened to his nice peaceful home and his special person???
Charlie is shy by nature, so you can just imagine how much he would like to hide and hope that when he emerges from his hiding place the world as he knew it will be restored! But that is not to be. So the next best thing for Charlie would be a new home with a quiet atmosphere where he can live safely inside as the treasured companion of someone with a warm lap and a gentle hand. Given time, Charlie will respond to your attention with head bumps and even some biscuit-making. However, it is likely that Charlie will always want to hide if anything about his home life is disrupted. Charlie will need a number of weeks to adjust, so start him out in a quiet room with all of his kitty accoutrement, especially one or more beds or hiding boxes where he can feel safe. Visit him often. He will find it hard to resist your petting and attention. In time, Charlie should be ready to explore the rest of his new home, but always know that he will need a safe place to hide: a closet, a cupboard, or the space beneath a bed. If you are drawn to the shy and retiring type, then Charlie would love to be your one-and-only.
