Update: 3.7.26 We are very happy to share that Charlie has been adopted

Charlie A068044

We are looking to find a loving forever home for sweet kitten Charlie. Charlie is adorable, very loving and affectionate. He is a master biscuit maker, purrs loudly for all to hear and loves pets and playing with catnip toys.

Charlie is a very special kitten, he is only 6 months old and has been through so much. A good Samaritan found Charlie in October and brought him to the Santa Monica Animal Shelter. Charlie was very under the weather when he arrived. We discovered the reason Charlie was so sick is he has feline infectious peritonitis. Although this sounds scary, Charlie has been on a GS-441524, an antiviral medication used for the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis so he can recover and achieve remission.

We are so happy to share that he is doing amazing! Through everything Charlie has been a champion, everyday taking his medicine and fighting to heal and get better. Now it is time to find sweet Charlie the most wonderful forever home.

•Charlie needs to be a indoor only kitty.

•He can be with other indoor only cats.

•He can live a normal kitty life after finishing his antiviral meds (GS-441524) which he will complete at the end of March.

Charlie is 6 months old, male, black Domestic Shorthair. He arrived at the shelter on October 21st, 2025.
