It's Charlie's 3rd Gotcha Day!

It was 3 years ago today, Dec 10th, when hubby and I went to the shelter (Friends for Life in Gilbert, AZ) to look at kitties. Charlie's name was Calvin at the time, and he loved alllll over hubby. Hubby had been talking about how he wanted a kitty that would love him like Scooter loved me, so having "Calvin" love all over hubby was like a dream come true. We came home with him that day. They said he was 2 1/2 when we adopted him... so that makes him about 5 1/2 now.

This is how he looked when we brought him home:

He had only been home about 2 hours at that point. Then he hid under the bed, only coming out for food, water and potty, for about a month...


Here he is in a later photo:

I chose this one because he looks so content and relaxed.

You are my special boy! Despite the constant "Meow, Meow, Meow" I wouldn't trade you for any other kitty.

I love you, Charlie!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So glad you found such a wonderful home!

Charlie! What a handsome guy you are!
Happy Gotcha day! :)
He looks VERY happy in his second photo.

Charlie, I am so glad that you found such a loving home! You look terrific, and quite young and handsome!

HAPPY 3rd Gotcha Day!!! Kisses from Katie please?:love:

HOORAY for Charlie! You found a great PT home, what could be better than THAT! http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q.../gotchajpg.png

Those are great photos of Charlie, thanks for posting them, Crystal!

Now, does he STILL love hubby? Or did he also become a Momma's boy? :D

Happy Gotcha Day Charlie!

He's terrified of hubby, unless he's sitting down. I think it's cause hubby is 6'4", but whenever hubby walks in, Charlie runs out!

Happy Gotcha Day Charlie! You are a cutie and obviously well-loved:D And one smart dude for choosing a PT home;)

Happy Gotchya Day, handsome Charlie!

Charlie says thank you to everyone!

:) That's why Charlie wanted Zolene to be his special girl. He fell in love the instant he laid eyes on her! :love:

Thank you again. Charlie is a special boy... and I am so happy to have him as part of my kitty family. When things look hopeless, all he has to do is meow and purr at me and I remember all I have to stick around for.

Sorry I'm a little late Charlie, but a very HAPPY 3RD GOTCHA DAY!

You are such a gorgeous cat, but I think you know that already. :)

Here' to many, many, MANY more Gotcha Days to come.
