View media item 411987 Today I will tell you why I am so lucky & blessed to have been connected with my very first cat Charlie. He actually saved my life! I was in a very dark place in my life with a lot of negativity. My heart had grown completely cold & numb. I was struggling with a very bad drug addiction and that's all I cared about. I was drawn to a post for free kittens that I saw in the grocery store one day and decided to call. The day that I went I had no plan on how I was going to get this kitten home. I had no supplies, and I was taking the subway! Luckily my dad called me when I was walking & asked me if I wanted a drive. He took me to get the kitten and stopped to pick up supplies too. I didn't really know what I had gotten myself into but I had to learn to care for something! For the first few months I continued to care for Charlie the best I could, but still had my addiction. I fell in love with Charlie and realized that I wasn't being fair to him. I wanted to give him everything I could. All the love, happiness & stability. He woke up my heart and gave me so much happiness that I was ready to deal with my addiction. I went to a rehab & my life has never been the same since. Charlie taught me so much. He is truly my angel! Today Charlie is 15yrs.
