About once a month (I should go more) I try to volunteer at the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter. I got involved with them after the storm because there were a ton of lost animals that needed help to and I'm much better at dealing with sad animals than sad people. Anyway, I wanted to introduce all of you to my very good friend, Charlie.
Charlie and his sister were abandoned by their owner in November because she just couldn't afford to take care of the little guys any longer. Charlie is 15 years old, which is very old in kitty cat years and he also very round, lazy, and sweet. The shelter fell in love with these sweethearts and decided to not adopt them out and just let them live at the shelter. They are so chill (see picture above), they just lay around in the lobby and wait for passersby to pet them.
I wish I weren't allergic to cats so that Charlie could come live with me because I feel like we are kindred spirits (I mean, look at the guy. We'd get along great!) For now though, he is my motivator to volunteer more and help out all of his furry friends at the shelter!
PSA: Adopt, volunteer at, or donate to you local shelter. They work really hard, are fantastic people, and do great work!
