California: Man ‘marrying’ his cat to raise funds for the animal shelter

A California man named Scott Perry is ‘marrying’ his beloved cat Olivia Le Chat on May 23 in order to raise funds for the animal shelter where he adopted his pet feline. Explaining the “rare wedding” details on the website dedicated to the big event, Scott wrote, “It was love at first sight! Well, sorta -- Olivia hopped right into my girlfriend’s lap and right into our hearts!”. While Perry’s girlfriend moved on in 2015, his 2-year-old cat is now his quarantine love.  

The medium-hair feline named Collette has remained by Perry’s side through thick and thin for almost 5 years showing strong commitment. However, sometimes, it hid under the furniture but nonetheless it helped Perry go through his difficult breakup years.  The owner wrote on the website, "I don’t know why Olivia pulled the disappearing act, but within days of my girlfriend leaving the next year, Olivia emerged from her shell and has not left my side ever since!". 

Further, he mentioned that Olivia was more than happy “to speak her mind, to wake me up to feed her and pet her in the early mornings, to let her out on the front porch for brushes in the sun and napping on the lounger, for evening biscuits on my tummy while I watch TV and lots of treats and playtime in between.”
