Day 22 - "who rescued who?" challenge

Today's feature kitty is truly a royal lady; but her life wasn't always so charmed.   

Ashley found Miss Charles (yes, she's a lady cat) at the Humane Society in Calgary 6 years ago.  Charles was just a kitten and had obviously been mistreated.  She was extremely scared of humans and would have nothing to do with them.  She was brought into the shelter in a box with her brothers and sisters and was the smallest and most timid kitten of them all.  It took a lot of coaxing but after a few visits, she finally trusted Ashley enough to come say hello and since that moment she has been Beauty Queen Charles.  

She still has trust issues with people she doesn't know but she loves her humans and she lets them know with loud meows and lots of head-butts.  

Ashely and Charles the Beauty Queen -- thanks so much for sharing this heart warming story!!
