About Us
Percy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Percy
Age: Twenty-one months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Tabby
Home: Manning, South Carolina, USA
 
   Percy is a twenty-one-month-old, female, British Brown Tabby, of medium length coat, bright green eyes and living in Manning, South Carolina. We adopted Percy just two days after losing our fifteen-year-old cat, Ming. The grief was horrendous! But we went to the SPCA, looking for another male kitten who needed us. Little did we know that we had adopted an eight-week-old female with a pretty severe upper respiratory infection. Percy did indeed need us, for she most likely would have been put down before she infected the entire kennel. We made five trips to the vet in her first six days with us!

    When it came time for our supposed "male" kitten to be neutered, we noticed that a rather important part of the anatomy was missing! I called my vet and expressed my concern. "Congratulations, it's a girl!" We opted for spaying instead, worked on our gender pronouns and are proud of our little girl. And she really is all girl. Percy's favorite moments are sitting on her window shelf, fussing at birds and squirrels and playing Cat Dancer and fetch. She does not like others playing with her toys. She is our love!
