Please forgive me for doing your Rainbow Bridge Memorial so late. It's so hard and hurtful to do these anymore.

We adopted you and your brother Stanley on 4/10/10 from Lakeland Animal Haven. I always wanted an orange kitty, and I got two. I couldn't leave Stanley behind. You were about 7 months old at the time. You and Stan the Man were very close and snuggled together. We had as many as 14 cats in this house and you were fine with all of them except maybe Pissy Chrissy and Boots. You spooked very easily.

You came on the steps by the couch every night to hang out with me. You use to love to lick the ice cream when I had ice cream cones. Cheyanne helped you out with that. I didn't think anything of it at first, but you stopped coming on that stoop for some nights and would hide. You weren't eating that much and you lost weight. I took you to Dr. Michelle, and she did x-rays and blood work and really couldn't find anything wrong except that you were anemic. I tried the meds she gave me, but they really didn't kick in, and then you started crying a lot and losing even more weight. I knew you were suffering, and it was time to let you go.

You were so tough, you hung on for so long. I was kind of hoping you would just leave us in your sleep, so I wouldn't have to take you to the vet, but I had to take you. You are greatly missed, my handsome boy! Stanley has been hanging out with Walter and kind of becoming a bully like him. I can't believe we are down to only 4 cats now. I hope all your brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, Grammy, Grandpa, Nanny, and PopPop greeted you at the bridge and are showing you the ropes. Have fun in your beautiful new home, and look down on us every now and then. We love you, my sweet handsome Charlie.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all Your Furry Brothers and Sisters

11/26/23 - So sorry this is late - - again! 11/18/23 is one (1) year we had to let you go. Since then, we lost Cheyanne, Walter, and Jazzy. Stan the Man and Holly are the only 2 kitties left. Stanley now loves licking the ice cream cones. Daddy is sick now, and they lay with him on the couch. Poor Jesse has also not been herself and is sick, but we don't know what is wrong with her. We brought Louie dog home, and he's nuts! We miss and love every single one of you. I pray to our Father in Heaven every day and several times a day that he takes care of daddy. I don't know what I'd do without him. Have a very Merry Christmas at The Bridge with all your furry brothers and sisters. We love and miss you very much!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Stan the Man, Holly and the dogs
