Charlie, domestic shorthair
Charlie is a handsome male domestic shorthair cat being kept at New York City Feral Cat Initiative.
He's already vaccinated and neutered, and he's mastered his house-training etiquette.
From Charlie's current caretaker:
Charlie is one of the most gentle, loving and playful cats that I have seen. Due to his initial fear of new people, he would need an experienced cat owner. With loving patience, he becomes a total lovebug, showering you with head butts and kisses. He gets along well with other cats.

This vocal little Russian blue mix with super soft fur is out of this world! He is sweet, affectionate and purrs when he receives affection. He is also playful and loves to play with toys, as well as other cats and dogs!

Shark, domestic shorthair mix

He has mastered his house-training etiquette, has had all of his shots and is neutered.
Notes from Shark's caretakers:
Shark is super playful and loves other cats and kittens. Shy at first, he soon warms up and adores snuggling in bed with you while purring his little head off.

Dolly, domestic shorthair mix
Dolly is a sweet female domestic shorthair mix being cared for at Harlem Cats.
Dolly would do great in a home with kids — she loves being around people. She's vaccinated and spayed, and she's already house-trained.
Notes from Dolly's caretakers:
This doll-faced girl is sweet and spicy! She loves attention and affection, but she also loves to get her play on. She can be a little mischievous, but only in the best, cat-like ways! Dolly is only about 10 months — a young girl, but she's not having any of that awkward teen stuff. She's a fun and easy girl to have around. She's in a foster home with other kitties, and she's doing OK with them, so we think she'd be fine in a home with other friendly cats. But we think that Dolly's dream is to be an only cat.
