“Casper is a people’s dog. He loves everything: dogs (he has two brothers and sisters), cats (he has four kitten siblings) and his men. It comes from humble roots (an animal shelter in New York). He is talking to a tender crustrules the house with an iron paw and shares her treats with everyone.”

Lucky Jean the Cat

Another cat, Lucky Jean’s nominator, sang her praises in a clever song.

“Lucky Jean, with the sharp moustache,

In debates, she is fierce, but calm and pure.

Her paws on the pulse, she’s sharp and lean,

The perfect vice president, she will rule.

Morris and Jean, the ultimate team,

Together they will live the cat’s dream!”

“West would make a great vice president! He’s an advocate for the right to prosper, the cat is nappingkindness and care, and nurturing harmony. He passionately believes in a world where everything is possible. West is currently employed at Mission Meow and making dreams come true of small rescues across the US”

Sunny the Dog

“It was clear from his nomination that Oscar has a lot in common with Morris – from loving naps to paws – to working well with others – so two cats are absolutely better than one!” Koch says.

In addition to winning a $1,000 cash prize, Oscar and his owner had to make a $35,000 donation to an animal shelter of their choice. They chose Huron Valley Humane Society located in Ann Arbor, MI, which played a role in Oscar’s rescue story.

Oscar and his father personally delivered the check on Election Day along with Koch.
