When Phoenix met Charlie, she was a bit shy, hiding in the corner, but Charlie was there patiently waiting.

Phoenix slowly came out of her shell, moving closer to Charlie.

As soon as the little kitten opened up to her big buddy, the two bonded. 

By the end of the day, Phoenix snuggled up for a nap in Charlie's arms.
