Foster cat Charley wins Pet of the Week after quick return from failed adoption

Charley, a foster cat, has been named Pet of the Week after being returned to her foster carer, Ellen Baer, just three days into a failed adoption. Charley, who was frightened and mistreated, quickly adapted and began playing with toys. Baer described Charley as sweet and affectionate, noting her love for purring and play. After her return, Charley discovered a ball run game, showcasing her playful side and resilience. This week's finalists include Petra, a sociable German shepherd, Dexter, a Dalmatian celebrating his sixth birthday, and Diva, a senior dog who has formed a bond with a puppy named GeminEye.
