Hi

[elizabeth]

Hi, we've just joined you all and my name is elizabeth. We have a Persian oldie, 15 years, called Billy and are devastated to have had our little girl Persian, Charis, put to sleep a few days ago. We rescued her and brought her home on Nov. 1st and she was full of love and yet so frightened of people. She began to trust us and now to lose her is awful, she was only 2 years 8months. No cat can take her place, she will always be in our heart but we would like to rescue another little girl and we're sure thats the right thing to do, Charis loved other cats.Nice to join with you all.

Elizabeth . . . welcome!!! So sorry to hear about Charis - loosing a pet is a horrible thing, especially when you've worked so hard to develop that bond.

BTW - what colour is he?

Hi elizabeth, sorry to hear of your loss, its never easy:( i do hope you enjoy it here:D

Haven't been online for a few days but having read all that you have written I am overwhelmed by your caring and support. Thank you everybody. Charis was very special and we miss her loads, we had her for such a short time but she taught us so much above love. At church yesterday my husband talked about her during the Communion service- our church has an open Communion when anyone can speak-and he talked about how people so easily get irritable when they're in pain-my husbands disabled-but all she showed was love, she never once lashed out or got nasty. Not sure about pics. as I'm no good as putting them on. did get a digital camera and can just about manage to put them onto the computer but wouldn't know where to start putting them on a thread!:)

Hello Elizabeth and welcome to CP. I'm so sorry to hear about Charis, I too rescued an animal and only had her for a few months before I had to let her go. She like your wee girl was so full of love she touched people that didnt even meet her but new her story.
You are more than welcome to chat about her here, everyone is friendly and will understand.
Look forward to chatting more.
Run free little Charis, you'll meet your mum at the bridge.
