Charlie is a darling kitten at 10 weeks old. He is social and playful, but instinctively gentle while playing. He is also capable of being independent when needed—specifically, he can fall asleep anywhere, whether alone in a room or on top of your lap. He’s still learning the basics—for example, he can race down stairs like a cheetah, but then promptly forgets (every day) that he knows how to run back up. It’s incredibly cute stuff.

Charlie prefers playing with cardboard boxes and cut-up pieces of socks to the toys you can get at the store. Basically, he’s a cheap date with a big heart—a companion you’d want around for the long haul.

His foster secretly wanted to adopt him, but developed an allergy, and wrote this bio hoping you would read it and decide “Charlie is my dream cat, too!”
