Hello, my sweet neighbors.
It’s me.
Harry Manilow.
I have something very important to tell you, and I ask that you sit down gently (preferably with a treat).
At the end of this month, my life is changing forever.
I am getting a new best friend.
Yes.
A roommate.
A confidante.
A small, fuzzy soul who will absolutely steal my toys and deny it.
You see her photo. You see my photo too, obviously—because my Fanilows expect consistency and I respect the brand.
But here’s the truly important part:
She does not have a name yet.
And my humans—who once named a plant “Greg”—have wisely decided this decision belongs to the neighborhood.
So I am inviting you to help name her.
No pressure.
No strings.
No requirements.
Helping with the name is special all by itself.
This is your chance to help name an up-and-coming local icon before she realizes she’s famous.
We’re looking for something unique. Something that complements Harry Manilow energy.
Main character. Best-friend coded. A name with presence.
If you’d like a little inspiration, think playful, clever, and a little dramatic—
Jennifer Drool-Idge energy, not expectations — a personal favorite of James, inspired by Jennifer Coolidge and her legendary characters from Legally Blonde and American Pie.
Drop your ideas in the comments.
I will be reading them.
Considering them carefully.
Possibly dramatically sighing.
Now—completely separate, and only if it feels right for you—
In honor of me getting a new best friend, a very generous donor has offered to match any donations made this weekend to help local furry neighbors in need.
And my humans are matching too.
But please hear this clearly, from my heart:
There is absolutely no pressure to donate.
Being part of this moment—helping with the name, cheering us on, sharing a kind word—is more than enough.
For those who do feel called to help, there are a few easy options:
• You can donate in person at Zoomies & Purr
• Every purchase also helps fund the donation pool
• Or you can donate directly using the links at the bottom of our website homepage:
www.zoomiesandpurr.com
If donating online, just choose store pick-up at checkout.
There’s no need to come into the store—my Zoomies humans know exactly how to handle the donation gifts and make sure they reach pets who need them.
However you choose to participate—name ideas, kind thoughts, or support of any kind—please know this:
You matter.
This community matters.
And I already love my future best friend… I just need help figuring out what to call her.
With love and a very full heart,
Harry Manilow
