Long Island’s Loveable Rescue Cat
Our amazing Scrappy crossed the rainbow bridge on August 26, 2025. He was a much loved member of the LIP family and things won’t be the same without him and his hilarious antics.
This page will remain as a tribute to honor the memory of our beloved boy
Scrappy came from very humble beginnings. A stray cat with “an attitude” (hence the name “Scrappy”) he was rescued by volunteers at Friends of Ferals – Long Island. He was a favorite at the shelter where his street-smart but lovable personality was very apparent and quickly admired. Volunteers thought this adorable furball would make a wonderful addition to the office staff at our Lindenhurst headquarters. And he certainly has!
His antics are endearing and put a smile on everyone’s face. Whether he takes over your chair, your desk, or covers your computer keyboard with his body – Scrappy IS THE BOSS – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Scrappy likes to give back to his community
Our little buddy knows how lucky he was to become part of the Long Island Paneling family. Not every cat living on the streets gets such an opportunity.
But with fundraising and encouraging Long Island Paneling to make charitable contributions to Friends of Ferals – Long Island, he is helping other cats who share a similar story to himself.
You can meet Scrappy!
If you love animals, ask to visit Scrappy if you are in our Lindenhurst store. He might take a minute to warm up to you, but he’s a native New Yorker through and through, so what else would we expect?
Yes, he really does have an Instagram account! #diva
