We're here today at Wilco and we've got Leo that's going to tell us all about Charlie looking
right into the camera. He is ready for his debut. Tell us about this guy. This is Charlie. What a
sweet guy. Charlie is a playful, very fun cat. He's still fairly young and he has a lot of life left
to live. Charlie did come to us paralyzed which is a tough break for anyone but you wouldn't know
it looking at him. He still loves to play. He still gets around so well. He's very mobile
and yeah he loves his wand toys and you toss the little cat toys in there and he
he's a ball of fun still. Oh yeah he's really cute and he still gets around and if somebody
wants to adopt Charlie what kind of family do you think that he could fit into best?
Yeah obviously you will want a home where you are comfortable doing his expressions and taking the
extra care the little bit extra care that Charlie would need but honestly the staff can walk you
through all of that stuff. It is not as hard as it might seem or daunting and you kind of get used to
it. You work it into your routine. He's very affectionate. He's been very cool with everyone
that's come in and visited him so I do believe a family would be great for this guy. Yeah and he'd
be appreciative. I mean all the best things in life take a little bit more work and then he'll
give you a little bit more love in return. He's just so sweet and if somebody wants to come just
walk into the shelter ask about Charlie. How's that work? Absolutely you come right in and see
us. We're open 12 to 6 every single day and Charlie will be in here hanging out waiting for you.
Oh he's so sweet. Oh look at him getting all that love. Absolutely love being here helping
animals get homes and I hope you get one real soon Charlie and while I still have you Leo do
you guys have any events that are upcoming? We do. Our Fur Ball 2026 is coming up in November.
November 7th. It is our largest fundraiser of the year. We are very excited and happy to present this
to all the folks here in Central Texas. This is what directly supports our operations and all of
our programs for the next 12 months so come on out visit our social media to see ticket prices and
where you can purchase those tickets and we hope to see you out November 7th. Yeah the Fur Ball is
great event and if you're looking for a sweet little fur ball to give a forever home come on
out to Wilco and ask about Charlie because he'll be here waiting for you unless somebody else snags
them up before you so you better hurry.
