The cat behind the name

Meet Charlie

Before there was a sanctuary, there was Charlie. He's the cat this house is named after, and he's still here.

Charlie was found outside in the middle of winter, at thirty-five degrees below zero, with another cat called Scarlett. They stayed close together, like family, and they have been home ever since.
