In February, 2010, one neighbour informed another of what looked to be a homeless grey and white cat wandering their neighbourhood. She speculated as to whether his owners had perhaps moved away and left him behind. The cat had been wanting to be let inside. Shortly thereafter, the second neighbour saw the grey and white boy in her own yard and made the decision to help him. She picked him up and brought him indoors. Every effort was made to find this "lost" cat's owners but when no one came forward, it was concluded he truly had been abandoned. It can be somewhat daunting (but well worth the effort) deciding what to do with a cat you have rescued. Having previously adopted a cat from PAW, his rescuer decided to contact us. When she agreed to provide foster care until he finds his permanent home, Chuck was accepted in to the PAW Society's adoption program. He was then health-checked, vaccinated and neutered.

Personality:

Chuck lives with three resident cats in his foster home. His integration has gone very well. He is the youngest in the household so would like one of the other cats to play with him. For the most part, he is respectful if they aren't interested. He is well socialized with people and not shy about asking for attention. He is comfortable with being handled and likes to sit beside you or on your lap. He plays a great deal with toys and enjoys a good sprint around the house. He is curious, like most younger cats, and likes to investigate high places. He has done very well with the transition to being a strictly indoor cat. Caution should always be taken, however, around your outside doorways when a new cat joins your household. He doesn't mind having his nails trimmed. All in all, he is an easy-going guy. He has an impressive long tail and a well muscled body.
