Even if you don't celebrate Easter or have any belief in the cosmos having a meaning, it doesn't change the beauty that comes when a little calico cat is found peacefully sitting under a tree on Easter. A happy holiday for this family. 

And she named the calico, Princess Charlotte Eden. She was out running errands and driving home when she spotted the indelible calico under a tree. She was shaking had no pawrent or other cats nearby. The woman went back to the tree to find her family but no more cats came out. She named her Princess Charlotte because the woman's name is Victoria, so she wanted to keep the name in the England Royal Family – Queen Victoria and Princess Charlotte. And she chose Eden because she was sitting under a tree, like as if she was sitting under a tree in the Garden of Eden (and incorporating Easter themes). She says she's not religious, but it was a memorable moment and the best Easter egg she could have found. 

It's almost storybook-like to find a cat sitting under a tree on Easter. She chose to take it home because everything just felt too magical. Easter is already a day tied to renewal, softness, innocence, and new beginnings, and to stumble upon a small, unexpected and abandoned life in the middle of that symbolism makes everything feel so much more meaningful.

  • It really does feel like a Garden of Eden story, with the nature symbolism. The cat wasn't just sitting somewhere random, and it's pretty impressive for this woman to see the cat at all considering how she was driving home. She must have really kept her eyes peeled for something enchanting, and she got what she wanted. Maybe the kitten appeared out of nowhere, tucked away under the tree, and this curious woman saw her at just the right moment. Bringing a cat home on the day of Easter adds a layer of symbolism that no one can ignore. It's more than just adoption. It's the beginning of a new chapter for both of them. The kitten being adopted is like it's first steps towards love. Enjoy this simple but wholesome story, and we'll have to wait another year for Easter again!
