I would try to find her a nice, quiet home, possibly with an older person who is looking for a lap cat. Please, though, ASK FOR PICTURE I.D.!! and charge an adoption fee!!! Do reference and vet checks, for the sake of Charlie.

Case in point: A man in CT served a year in prison after being charged with 10 counts of animal cruelty. He got out and 24 hours later he was out looking for a cat to get his hands on (he killed my best friend's cat, "My Little Boy"). He DID get his hands on a cat from a woman who didn't do the simple, common sense basics (mentioned above). Fortunately for Honeygirl, someone in Jay Baldwin's apt. building snitched on him and they seized the cat. She was terrified and it took months of socialization for her to come around.

I think you know in your heart, that another home is probably what is in Charlie's best interest. While a room of his own is a good TEMPORARY solution, I think it's best. Good luck. You and Charlie will be in my thoughts and prayers.
