Update on ginger Charlie!










Hello
We thought we'd just drop you a line to let you know how Charlie is getting on with us here in Cardiff. We adopted him on 15 February 2008. He is SUCH a character - one minute he is going mad and wide-eyed, chasing moths in the garden, and the next thing he is giving us kisses and cuddles and rolling over so we can tickle his tummy!

He is a big cat and absolutely adores his food, and enjoys sitting on the kitchen stool watching us prepare our own food!

He loves company and wants to be involved in everything, and he loves playing with his toys and chasing anything that moves - including our feet under the duvet! Considering the start he had in life, he is the most trusting and loving animal you could ever hope to meet, and we think he is absolutely beautiful. He loves to play with our other cat Neville, who unfortunately at 13 years old is a bit too dignified to play games, however Charlie keeps on trying to be his friend.

When we took Neville to the vet the other day Charlie was most distressed that he was gone, and when Neville returned and lay down on our bed to recover from his ordeal (he hates travelling in his pet carrier) we had to take Charlie up to see him, to show him that he was okay! He loves his older brother, even if his older brother doesn't realise it!

Charlie likes nothing better than to cuddle up with us, rub his face against ours and talk in his funny cat language, and he is a cat with the most wonderful, loving temperament. He is a fantastic pet, we absolutely adore him, and we are ever so grateful to you at Llys Nini for taking such good care of him whilst he was with you.

love from Lauren and Dan (and Charlie and Neville)

Hi, I missed out on adopting Charlie earlier this year and have wondered how he was getting along- Im really pleased to see that he seems to have landed on his paws!! It was great to read how he is settling in and see the pictures, which are fab by the way. Im chuffed he found a smashing home with a family that love him. Looking on the website even made us go back to Llys Nini and find our own special cat that we hope to bring home soon :o)
Love Helen.

Hi Helen

Thanks for your message, what happened with adopting Charlie? When we saw him on this website first of all we saw he had been 'booked', but when we went to Llys Nini to find another cat he didn't appear to be booked so we assumed there must have been a mistake on the website.

I'm glad you've found another cat though, Llys Nini is a wonderful place!
