What is your cat's most unique quality?

Luxurious short-haired fur coat in a classic tabby-and-white pattern—soft, dense gray stripes swirling over his back and sides like marble, contrasting beautifully with pristine white on his chest, belly, paws, and face, creating a tuxedo-like elegance that accentuates his heterochromatic eyes (one blue, one green, a rare trait in <1% of cats); his polydactyl paws feature 24 total toes with extra thumb-like digits for superior grip; he showcases intelligence by mastering high fives and commands.

Why should your cat be America’s Favorite?

I served in the Air Force, and returning with PTSD made civilian life harder. I am living alone with no family nearby. My four rescued cats, plus my special boy CosmoPawlyton, all from the streets of Philadelphia and New Jersey, are my lifeline. Their companionship and Cosmo's deep rumbling purrs ease my anxiety and even relieve my chronic neck pain when he purrs against me. They’re my family and best therapy. The $10,000 prize would help me keep caring for them while they keep supporting me.
