Charlie's a Charming Cat Available for Adoption

When Charlie arrived at the as a baby, he had severely infected eyes.

At four months old, Charlie is healed and being cared for in a foster home. He lost eyesight in his left eye from the infection, but it doesn't slow him down one bit.

His foster mom writes:

"Munchkin, as we like to call him, is an amazing little boy, full of personality and an adventurous spirit. He spends his days playing with toys, watching squirrels and lounging on his favorite chair. Munchkin is very affectionate and is always ready for cuddles. He especially loves to have his ears rubbed. That get his motor purring! Munchkin shares his foster home with other cats and dogs. He is very social and likes to play with all of his furry friends."
