Charlotte

Remembering the sweetest cat ever. Charlotte came to use in June 2011 after the sudden death of my little cat Tillie. A friend who works with animals advised adopting an older cat. Knowing I could never replace Tillie, but hating the emptiness of the house without a cat - I decided to look at the local cattery website, and Charlotte's sweet face just jumped out at me. I immediately send an email of her to my daughter and said 'This cat is mine'. When we met Charlotte I did take time to look other cats, but despite feeling sad for them, I knew Charlotte was the one. Charlotte was around 14/15 then with an ongoing ear problem and arthritic hind legs, but that did not stop me. After being with us a short time her ear problem flared up and after a few visits to our vet, he suggested I contact the place I adopted her from to carry out surgery to have the ear removed, which we did. They were wonderful, we took her in to their Head Office in February 2012 and she was there for almost 3 weeks, during which time we were allowed to visit her and they removed one ear, cleaned and scaled her teeth and further surgery to remove three teeth.

Eventually we were allowed to bring her home and she was like a kitten, going into the garden and laying in the sun and generally enjoying life for the rest of 2012. Then she became very agitated and could not sit still, running from room to room in the evenings and generally acting oddly, more vet trips to find she had hyperthyroidism and was put onto a life time course of medication.

After Christmas this year, she started acting oddly again, getting so picky over her food, I tried all kinds of things, and eventually took her back to vet to get her thyroid levels checked. Without going into distressing details, with the kind help of knowledgeable people, I had to make the dreaded decision to let her go peacefully last Thursday. How I got through this, again, I will never know - but with the help of friends and this website I managed.

I just want to say, Charlotte run free at the Rainbow Bridge, and thank you for spending your Autumn days with us. You were the sweetest little cat ever, never ever grumpy with us and enjoying being petted by children. I will always remember you with love.
