Best for Children Hands Down - Susan, 6 July 2025

We bought Charlie from a Breeder in Palo Alto for our daughter’s 5th birthday. At a year old he attended show and tell, sweetly accepting being passed from one kindergartner to another in a circle, petted, placed on laps. When he got back to his companion he walked sedately into his carrier. That was Charlie. Playful and well behaved. He would follow my daughter outdoors into our back yard and follow her back inside. A beautiful, soft family cat without much shedding. A male, he did eventually require a special diet to prevent urinary tract blockage. All his life he was a joy to us.
