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

11/19/24 - Two (2) years yesterday we had to let you go. Oh sweet handsome Charlie, Stan Man has gotten so skinny, but we did blood work and nothing showed. He's acting ok though and looks for to the ice cream cones every night. I hope you greeted Jesse 1/25/24 and Daddy 8/14/24 at the bridge. It's so different here with just 2 cats, 7 dogs and no daddy. I'm not decorating for Christmas this year. I just don't have it in me. I hope Stanley and Holly are around next year so they can lay under the tree. Holly was daddy's nurse. The house is still crazy with Louie, Sophie, and Boomer, but it's just not the same. Mommy loves and misses every single one of you. I hope you all jumped on daddy when he crossed over. I hope you're all so very happy and have a wonder Meowy Christmas!

Love,

Mommy, Stanley, Holly and all the dogs

11/18/25 - Three (3) year ago today we had to let you go to the Bridge. I truly mean this house just is not the same anymore. I hope you greeted your brother Stan Man 1/13/25, ZZ 3/16/25, and Giggy 10/17/25. Giggy hit me hard. He fought for so long. He was about 14-1/2. Mya still doesn't know what to do as she was his shadow. Louie, Sophie, and Boomer are still crazy. It's so weird with 5 cats and 1 cat. Holly has known every single dog that lived in this house. I'm not up to decorating for Christmas yet again. A lot of renovation has been done to the house, and I'm exhausted. Last year I got a table top tree and some other decorations and I don't even feel like putting that up. I'm usually decorated by now. I miss you all lying under the tree. I miss the big tree. It's so beautiful. It's just too much for me. Anyway, just know I love and miss every single one of you and hope to be with you real soon. Hoping Jesus comes for me and all of us who love in in the Clouds to bring us home. Then I want every single one of you to come running to greet me. Spending eternity with Jesus, my family, and furry kids will be so purr-fect. Until then, Meowy Christmas, my sweet handsome Charlie boy. Mommy loves you!

Love,

Mommy, Holly, Fred, Boomer, Mya, Sophie, and Louie
