Hi everyone, my name is Charlie
Charlie is a stunning boy with a personality just as beautiful as his looks. He’s affectionate, gentle, and always ready to share his love. Whether he’s leaning in for a pat, curling up beside you, or gazing at you with those soulful eyes, Charlie has a special way of making you feel like the most important person in the world.
Charlie has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart condition that means he’ll need a little extra care and regular vet check-ups to keep him feeling his best. But don’t let that worry you, Charlie’s heart might need some attention, but it’s also full of love to give. He’s an incredibly sweet boy who deserves a family that will cherish him for who he is.
He’s looking for a calm, indoor home where he can live life at his own gentle pace — snoozing in sunny spots, enjoying quiet company, and soaking up affection from his favourite people.
If you have room in your heart for a cat who will truly love you back, Charlie is ready to show you just how special he is.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
