   Charlie came to be July 27, 2003. His mother was an abandoned cat in my apartment complex. I took her in as she was infested with fleas, hungry, and very pregnant. We had a problem of too many stray cats living in our complex and I could not bear to see any more kittens running wild only to be hit by a car or worse. Three weeks later "Tippy" gave birth to five identical kittens. Charlie was the first born and the first to do everything. His loving personality and his typical cat curiosity got the best of me. Already having two other cats (who I must say were not pleased having six more additions), I reluctantly decided not to keep Charlie so I packed him up and took him to a local pet store to be sold. It literally broke my heart, so the next day I made a mad dash to the pet store and bought him back! His has been a part of my family ever since. He is the most loving cat I have ever known. He has even grown on his brother "Bud" and his sister "Megan". His mother was adopted by another resident and is quite content living the easy life indoors. His siblings were also adopted. Charlie is always there to give me his unconditional love. His sweet nature is appealing to everyone who meets him. His favorite game is chasing the laser pointer. His favorite food is 9-Lives Tuna and Shrimp. He truly was meant to be in my family!
