Meet Alex Mangas and his charming calico cat, Atty! Adopted from the SPCA in Ithaca back in 2017, Atty joined the family as a fuzzy solution to a mouse problem—and quickly became much more than that. Now around 11 or 12 years old, she enjoys stalking birds, sneaking snacks of human food, and being pampered with Purina Pro Plan wet meals. While Alex does most of the work during playtime, Atty’s favorite bonding ritual is “tummy time,” where she claims his stomach as her throne and expects absolute stillness. It's clear who runs the house—and Alex wouldn’t have it any other way.

Say hello to Elva Franco’s adorable pup, Lucy! A 10-year-old shichon (that’s a Shih Tzu–Bichon Frisé mix), Lucy has been by Elva’s side since she was a playful little puppy. Though technically in her double digits, Elva tells her she’s only two—and Lucy seems to believe it! She’s always up for an adventure, whether it's a road trip, a spin through the car wash, or a snack break with her beloved Open Farm treats and homemade sweet potato fries. Unsurprisingly, her favorite room is the kitchen—where the treats (and the fun) happen.

Introducing Raegan, the beloved black mouth cur of Jennifer Hanrahan! At 10 years old, Raegan has been part of the family for over eight wonderful years since her adoption. She’s happiest when she’s out on a walk or splashing around in her doggie pool on sunny days. Her all-time favorite treat? Cheese—hands down. Whether they’re out exploring or relaxing at home, Jennifer and Raegan are the perfect pair.
