Canisius Kitty: Auggy

By: Julian Reynoso

“Hello my name is Auggy” says this cute little kitty’s name tag on his fancy bow tie collar. His full name is Augustine Lionel Fuentes and he is Lucy Fuentes’ six-month-old kitten.

He is a Siamese ragdoll mix, and he is her emotional support kitty! Auggy resides with Fuentes in her dorm and he loves to play. “His favorite toy is this purple spring he broke, he goes crazy for it,” Fuentes said.

She saw the offering for Auggy the day it came up, which happened to be on her birthday. Fuentes said, “It’s like he was being offered just for me; he’s one of my favorite breeds which are so expensive, but he was only $440. I could just tell I had to get him.” She hasn’t once regretted getting him.

Auggy loves his Halloween sweater, but rumor has it, he’ll be getting a Christmas-themed one soon. It’s on his wishlist along with Churu squeeze tubes and crinkle balls…seriously, he LOVES crinkle balls.
