This might have been the world's fastest adoption!


Little Charlie was found on Wednesday morning perched on the tire of a community member's car. She was no older than about 5 weeks. She was clearly hungry and scared, but was absolutely thrilled to be with company, and to be offered some food.
The woman who rescued her wasn't able to keep her, as she had to go to work. So, I suggested that she drop the kitten off at our favorite vet clinic, Victoria Vet, and that way the kitten could be assessed, and it would buy us some time to come up with a foster home. The vet said that Charlie was skinny, but otherwise healthy. Wonderful Denise said that she would foster Charlie, and we planned that she would pick her up at the vet after work that day.
Well, by the time Denise arrived at the vet that day, Charlie had won the heart of the entire vet clinic staff, most especially one of the vet techs. Denise never had a chance to foster sweet little Charlie for even one night. She went home with Chandra, the vet tech, and has already found her forever home, as soon as the legal waiting period passes for the previous owners to come forward. Sadly, this rarely happens for the many cats that we rescue, so we are very glad to know that no matter what, Miss Charlie is safe and loved!
