On his was way back home, Chris called Lisa and asked her to come outside. As he pulled down their long driveway, she could see something silhouetted in the passenger seat.

Manny McCoy – Canton South, Ohio

Manny McCoy made his home in Canton South, Ohio. Originally a stray with no warm home to curl up in each night, he finally found his way to the house of Marge and Bill McCoy who promptly adopted him.

Manny was an American Shorthair with mackerel tabby markings, though his exact lineage is unknown. Luckily, his breed and color were of little consequence to his new owners. Rather than naming him for his appearance, he was named for one of their favorite (at that time) players for the Cleveland Indians baseball team, Manny Ramirez.
