Christopher, who’s about eight years old, is one of the funny-foot family Charley’s Strays took in in 1998: Christopher, his sister who lives in Waterville, and their pregnant mother, Roo.  Three of Roo’s babies from the litter she had five days later are still in foster-care: One is in Vassalboro and one is in Anchorage, Alaska. These cats all have misshapen feet and front legs, so that they move oddly, but they speed around the room, interact with other cats (who see nothing unusual about them) and even claw the furniture. They have great personalities, and charm everyone who gets to know them.  Chris is the most outgoing of the four. The two younger boys, Pooh (gray and white, much like Chris) and Black Peter (black and white, with a more square face and a coarser coat than his gray relatives), are wary of strangers and hard to handle for trips to the vet, their sister Lisa (almost all black) is shy, but gentle and easier to handle.

Charley’s Strays cats are available for placement as indoor cats only.  An application form is available on request from mmgrow@yahoo.com, or call (207) 968-2121 or (207) 968-2926.  Charley’s Strays does not charge a placement fee, but tax-deductible donations to this non-profit organization are always welcome.
