Charlie's Love Story
Ellie's Rainy Day Fund helped Charlie get his heart tested.

I cannot thank ERDF enough for your generosity and kindness. There are so many animals and people in need in our world today and I am humbled that you chose to help me and my sweet Charlie.
In Charlie's Words:
My name is Charlie and I am a 12-year-old spoiled rotten, blue eyed kitty. My mommy tells me I have lots of health problems like pancreatitis and irritable bowel something or another. I take lots of medicine every day. I don't like taking medicine. Some days I feel good and other days I don't even want to eat.
I go see a very nice doctor by the name of Holly Gossett. I like her a lot. When we went to visit Dr. Holly last month she said something might be wrong with my heart and told my mommy to take me to see a special doctor. Mommy cried because she loves me very much, but I have other furry siblings with health problems and mommy said she doesn't have enough money to get the expensive tests I need.


Mommy was very worried about me when we left Dr. Holly's office. Mommy works very hard to make sure we all have our medicine and see Dr. Holly on a regular basis. Mommy doesn't buy anything for herself because she takes such good care of me, my kitty brother Finn, and my greyhound brother Mick. Dr. Holly called us a few days later to say that Ellie's Fund was going to help us pay for the tests. Mommy cried again because she was so happy and grateful for the kindness of people who do not even know us.
We went to see the special doctor and he told mommy I had some bad heart problems but the good news was that I wasn't showing any serious symptoms yet. The special doctor told mommy to bring me back in six months to do the tests again to see if my heart was getting any worse. Mommy is saving her pennies so we can pay for the test when it is time.

From Charlie's Mom:
I rescued Charlie out of a dumpster when he was 6 months old. He has had intestinal issues ever since I first brought him home. He is the sweetest kitty. He is very vocal and loves to tell me all about his day. He will tell me when it is time to eat and time to go to bed. His favorite toys are chopsticks and emery boards. He sleeps next to me every night and LOVES belly rubs!
I cannot thank ERDF enough for your generosity and kindness. There are so many animals and people in need in our world today and I am humbled that you chose to help me and my sweet Charlie. Blessings to you and your wonderful organization! Thank you for making a difference.
