I have fallen in SO much love with this little guy, and so has my husband who claims he hates cats. I had to leave my little Zira in California with my Dad when I married my husband and moved to Oak Harbor. I was going to bring her once we were settled but my Dad begged me to let her stay with him because he was so attached to her. so with a heavy heart I agreed. This is where my husband decided to surprise me when we were in Bellingham a few weeks later, and we found Charlie.
I think almost right away he adopted us as his Mommy and Daddy. he got my attention in the store immediately by meowing at me and reaching his little paw through the cage, and I just knew he was the one I wanted. Since then he is my little shadow. He goes everywhere I go, and is always sitting on the bed with me in our room. When it is bedtime he insists on lying on my chest right under my chin, as if there is no way for him to get close enough to me. I often joke with my husband and family that he is broken because his little purr-motor is ALWAYS running. I feel like we learn something new about him everyday. He plays with absolutely anything he can find, and has started some cute little habits of chasing our feet, or rearing up at us like he is going to attack when he wants us to chase him.
I am a New Navy wife who is unaccustomed to being alone for periods of time and I think Charlie is going to be the perfect kitty to help ease that hardship for me. We love him so much and I think we have to also include that as well as Thanking S.P.O.T for their service in no-euthanization adoptions, we also should thank his respective foster family for raising such a healthy and happy little boy so that he could become our baby. I have checked the site often in hopes that I would see that Charlie's sisters, Cleo and Chloe had been adopted and I was elated to learn recently that they have. I hated that I had to choose one, but I think I made the right choice. He is amazing, and is right at home with us.
