Hello, My name is Charlie! I am 13 years young and on the search for my forever home, where I have been waiting at GAWS for over a year now... ⌛ I am extremely cruisy and independent. I do enjoy cuddles and your company too, I like to find a place to call my own on the couch where I can sit right next to you and keep you company. I enjoy all things fun, I like to play with my toys 🧶🐁 and love a good scratch on my post! I'll come let you know with a little snuggle and tap of my paw ever so gently to get your attention if I ever want anything 🩷 I LOVE to drink my water from the tap too - so I would love a drinking fountain as an alternative in my future home 🚿 I'm on ongoing medication to keep my health in good condition 💊 but I'm really good at taking my medication and am SO well-behaved about it! I don't really like other animals - they can be a bit annoying for my tastes and I don't want to stress either of us out - so I would love to be the only furry friend in your home 🚫🐈🚫🐶 This way I can ensure ALL of your attention is on me! I DO get along with kids though, especially if they love to play! Due to my lighter colourings, I will need to live indoors only to protect my skin from the harsh sun 🚫🌞 If I'm going outside I could get skin-cancer, just like you! Everything bad for cats is outside, so I will be my happiest & healthiest self if I live indoors only 🏠 A nice brush every now and then will keep my coat looking its best, and be a good bonding exercise for us 🪮 NEEDS: indoors only, no sun, regular grooming, no cats, no dogs MEDICAL: Hyperthyroidism
