Last week, The Telegraph published the tale of Charlie, a 14-year-old white cat who bears a frightening resemblance to Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort. Charlie was abandoned by his original owners, but someone found him and took him to a vet, where his ears and nose were removed to save him from skin cancer. Now he looks like he could be Ralph Fiennes' understudy as Voldemort in the Potter films.
Charlie is now in a Blue Cross shelter in Southampton, England, awaiting adopting by a family that can look past his unusual appearance. Charlie loves cuddling, according to the shelter workers who know him, but he doesn't like other animals. He's stuck in solitary confinement until he gets a good home.
As of Saturday, Reddit users were looking for a home for Charlie, and the Daily Mirror reported that lots of offers -- including some from America -- had come in. Charlie hasn't yet been officially adopted, but his story might end happily after all!
UPDATE: Charlie has been adopted!

I think Charlie is beautiful. One of my cats is 22yrs, she she too doesn't like otherv cats, so has to be kept apart from my other two. She lost the sight in one eye last year, and I suppose it looks a bit mingy, but her affectionate nature is what adds to her beauty, I'm sure Charlie is the same, if he go on with other cats I'd offer him a home, but I understand that he needs a home where he is the only pet.

Oh, the poor little thing, I think he's beautiful just as he is! If I didn't already have so many, I would inquire about adopting him! Bless his heart, I hope that whoever adopts him is deserving of him. I just want to cuddle him and smother him in kisses!

Wow, don't get me wrong, I think the little guy is kinda cool, but it is interesting how people respond greatly to defend animals but treat everyday people horribly on a daily basis. Disagree if you want, but think about how people participate in gossip, discrimnation, racism, or simply insulting someone because of their physical appearance.

Although I love animals and would adopt Charlie in a a heartbeat, you do have to admit that his nose is a little unattractive. You may call me shallow, but just looking at it, he really does remind one of Lord Voldemort. But then again, that can be a plus because who doesn't love Harry Potter?

You think this cat makes you sick. Maybe you say that because when you look in the mirror you realize that the way you look makes people sick.
