In Bend, Oregon, the Humane Society of Central Oregon is seeking permanent families for two rescued kittens, Charlie and Chuckie. The littermates, about three months old, were found after a local family noticed their mother cat had five kittens but later vanished with three, leaving the two behind.
Rescue and Care
Compassionate community members safely captured the kittens and delivered them to the shelter, where staff observed that the pair were initially nervous and remain a bit shy in new surroundings. Shelter volunteers report that once the kittens settle, their personalities shine through.
At the shelter, Charlie and Chuckie can often be seen rolling over, kneading their paws, and purring contentedly. Their coats are slightly rough, a sign of their early life outdoors, but staff are confident that proper nutrition, a clean home, and plenty of affection will help them thrive.
Adoption Details
Both kittens are now listed for adoption through the Humane Society of Central Oregon. Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter, meet the kittens, and consider providing a stable, loving environment. The organization emphasizes that early socialization and gentle handling will help the shy pair adjust quickly to a family setting.
Potential owners should be prepared to offer a safe indoor space, regular veterinary care, and the time needed to build trust with these young cats. The shelter staff are available to answer questions about kitten care, feeding schedules, and the adoption process.
How to Help
Community members who cannot adopt are still welcome to support the shelter’s mission. Donations of cat food, litter, toys, and blankets are greatly appreciated, as are volunteer hours for feeding, cleaning, and socializing the animals.
