Carl is a sweet-natured American Shorthair who, along with his brother Silver, was rescued from a yard. Initially nervous in new environments, he has overcome much of his anxiety with foster care, though he still appreciates a calm setting. Carl is affectionate once comfortable, especially during meal times, and needs to be adopted with his brother, Silver, to help him feel secure. He is housetrained, good with other cats, neutered, and up-to-date on all vaccinations.
