Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Introducing: Cheeky Charles!

Charles is a handsome brown tabby with a heart as big as his cheeks! Seriously though-have you ever seen such huge pettable cheeks in your life??? Charles has a somewhat reserved (but not shy!) demeanor. He loves to lounge around, especially in front of a big window where he can do some bird watching.

There are two main ways to Charles's heart-catnip and brushing. Charles LOVES being brushed, especially with a slicker type brush with fine soft bristles. Sometimes he gets so blissed out while being brushed that he actually starts to drool! And the best part? His favorite place to be brushed is his cheeks! He also adores catnip, and those little fabric toys stuffed with catnip. He'll roll around and purr and show his belly with appreciation!

Charles is around 1.5 years old. He can be particular about his feline friends. So far, he seems to not mind cats with calm or meek personalities. However, he really doesn't appreciate cats with strong, outgoing personalities. Charles wants his peace and he wants to be the star or the show. He would do fine as an only cat, or in a house with another shy or quiet cat, especially a female cat. He's very relaxed around all of our volunteers, and would probably do well in a variety of households, including those with children. We haven't observed him around dogs, but based on his interactions with the more outgoing cats in our space, it's very possible that he might not appreciate their particular type of friendship!

All cats are up-to-date on age/weight appropriate vaccines, exams, FIV/FeLV tested (negative), flea treated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and microchipped. If not completed at the time of adoption, any remaining initial vetting will be covered by the rescue.
