Charlie was much loved. But when his carer became unwell and could no longer look after him, this purebred ragdoll came to Lort Smith's Adoption Centre.
His breeding days were behind him, and he was ready for a quieter life as someone's companion, with his striking blue eyes as his calling card.
His new family are smitten. And they're adamant that it was Charlie who chose them, not the other way around.
Many of the animals in our care come to us because their families' circumstances have changed. We give each of them the time and care they need to find the right new home.
