A Vote For This Lufkin Cat May Send $5K To Local Animal Shelter

Meet Wyatt

Wyatt is currently a quarter-finalist in the America's Favorite Pet competition and would love your support.

What Is America's Favorite Pet Contest?

This vote-driven competition asks the public to cast online votes for their favorite pets. Several stages are held, with the top vote-getting pets moving through a bracket-type competition. The winning pet will be featured on the cover of Modern Cat Magazine and take home $10,000. If Wyatt were to win the top prize, half of that $10,000 prize would go to a local animal shelter/rescue facility in East Texas.

Let's Find Out More About Wyatt

Wyatt has a great story to tell about animal rescue and adoption. Chelsea Cash is Wyatt's owner, and her husband found Wyatt as a sick and broken 9-week-old abandoned kitten. He chose them that fateful day as several people were waiting to enter a store, and Wyatt weaved his way through everyone, straight to Chelsea's husband's feet. He now lives the good life with 7 furry siblings.

Wyatt absolutely loves cocktail shrimp and will do just about anything for a taste of one. In fact, he has learned several tricks with shrimp as the reward.
