Pet's Story
This is Lois the kitten (yes even though she looks like an owl 🦉, she is a kitten!) .

In Lois’s own words::
Picture this: It's early 2020, the start of a crazy year. To make it all crazier, my mom and dad meet down near Coney Island and BOOM! FAST FORWARD to September...I'm born. Tough as hell but little, like, REAL little. I'm scrambling for my food, fighting for survival...but always dreaming about competing in a Cutest Cat Competition... BOOM! FAST FORWARD to December ...The vet looks me over and says "This is the runt of the litter." Considering this, the human I was with decided it best she put me out to pasture a little early...my dreams were crushed! I'd never compete in a Cutest Cat Competition! Lucky for me though, word of my story travelled north, into Williamsburg. I get scooped up by some Dahlonega transplants by the name of Conarro, and they give me a lift up to Brooklyn. That's when it hits me! Runts look like kittens... FOREVER...BOOM! FAST FORWARD to May...I'm not even a year old and I'm full grown. I've been training and I'm ready to compete. I'm planning my first visit to Dahlonega to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Conarro (my Brooklyn Conarro’s parents), and I'm overhearing about this Dahlonega Rotary Club's Nationwide Cutest Cat Competition, and that's when I realize my dreams of competing might finally come true! So, here I stand before you all, a Coney Island runt. Grateful to be living out my dreams and competing in a national competition at such a young age. . Humbly,

Why my pet should win
Lois the runt is set to turn Dr & Mrs Conarro into cat lovers. She’s coming to town with two other cats making that 3 cats 🐱🐱🐱 in the Conarro’s home 🤯. (You’re all invited to ask Dr Conarro about his upcoming newfound love for cats.) Even though historically Dr & Mrs Conarro have always had dogs (and recently ducks!), Lois is THE kitten that no one can turn away (and everyone can vote for)!
