Hi! My Name is Porchy! is the True Story of a Little Black Cat born under a red brick house near William Woods University's stables. Porchy's life began with hunger and hardship. As a small black cat with a notch in her ear to show she had been spayed and released, she spent years dumpster diving for student leftovers and sleeping in cold dirty drainpipes. She learned early on to fear the world. She suffered through a painful encounter with a BB gun and the lonely reality that black cats are often the last to be adopted. But everything changed the night she met Loki, a sleek black house cat, and his human, Josh. And then she met their neighbor, Gayle. From a freezing night in a dark shed to her first night in a human home and then to her first taste of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Porchy's journey is a rags-to-riches tale of learning to trust, learning to play, and finally learning to purr. Written with humor and heart, this true story, as told to Gayle Lampe, is a moving reminder that every cat, no matter what color they are, deserves a loving forever home.
