Hi! Julius Butters here. You might remember me from last year’s Mutt Strut. I fell just short of the prize of top dog, but came in second…. to a dog!? I couldn’t believe it!! This time around, I’m here for the grand prize - and I won’t rest until I’ve won it ALL! But first, a nap.

Ok but seriously, here is a little bit about me. You may not be able to believe a cute, chunky cat like myself was ever without a family, but the real reason the Champaign County Humane Society holds a very special place in my lil' kitty heart is because that was once my home! I grew up in a house with 30+ other cats when my humans realized they had too many to properly care for. They made the tough but right decision to bring me in to the shelter. I was scared and sick, but the people there took great care of me until I was feeling better. Shortly after that my mom and I crossed paths for the first time! We locked eyes, I gave her some slow blinks, and the rest is history. Even though she's met a lot of cats in her life, she assures me that I am the most handsome feline she's ever come across.

Although my ultimate goal is to raise money for the place that gave me a second chance at life, I must admit it would be pretty cool to have my cute, round face on a beer can. I can picture it now, sitting on mom’s lap in the living room while she sips an “Orange Ju Brew” after a long day. These dogs have got to be kitten themselves if they think they're going to beat ME!
