Meet Charlotte, a quiet, gentle girl with a semi-feral past who's ready to enjoy a sweet life indoors! She is approximately 1 year old. This beautiful gray and white tabby with large golden eyes and a bushy tail is still learning to trust humans, so cat-savvy home where she can settle in at her own pace would be ideal for her. Charlotte came to Alley Cat Project while giving birth to five gorgeous kittens. She has been a loving, attentive mom, even despite an early illness that made nursing difficult for a while. That is now past and good health has taken its place. In foster care, Charlotte has come a long way from her feral past. She loves to watch her kittens sleep and play, and she occasionally joins in the fun when swinging toys are in action. Her favorite place to be is on her foster mom's dresser or under the bed—wherever she can be undisturbed but still watch the goings-on. Churu treats, all flavors, will win her favor. She is still learning the niceties of human touch and will accept pets and back scratches when she is calm and relaxed. (Be sure to include that bushy tail when petting.) In the right home, Charlotte will continue to build trust and confidence. What Charlotte is looking for in a home: - She needs a kind and patient guide to help her continue adjusting. Loud noises, sudden movements, and strangers make her nervous. (Don't expect a handshake when you meet her.) - She’ll need extra time and TLC to build trust. - She might benefit from a younger feline companion after she bonds with her people. Pairing her with one of her kittens is also a possibility. - She feels at ease in a quiet and calm environment, where she can continue building confidence. - She needs to live indoors only. - She has no known history with other cats, but she has shown concern when a neighbor's cat hangs out on the foster home's deck. - She has no known history with dogs. - She has no known history with children. All Alley Cat Projects cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption. Thank you for your interest in adopting Charlotte! If your household fits the above criteria, you can apply to adopt her by filling out this questionnaire: https://bit.ly/ACPAdoptionForm View full description »

Alley Cat Project rescues feral cats, primarily through "TNR" (Trap-Neuter-Return). Occasionally, the feral cats cannot be returned to the site where they were previously living and must be relocated. We prefer that they go to indoor-only "mouser" type of working homes like warehouses, large shops, Industrial settings, etc., where they can perform an organic rodent control service for you, without being exposed to hazards outdoors. We have placed many cats in settings of this type with great success. The cats will typically be very shy and seldom seen at first. They may gain trust and confidence over time and become more friendly. Typically, they hide during the day and come out at night to patrol for rodents. They are not aggressive, unless cornered and force to be handled against their will. They use litter boxes. They are very little trouble. Do you have a work setting as described above, where these "working cats" can have a home? If you do, please respond to this posting with a little bit of information about where you are located, and what the setting/situation there is like. Thank you! View full description »
