Niagara College’s new greenhouse cat officially has a name – and that name is Scout.
The cat, who has been acclimatizing to his new home in the NC Greenhouse at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake for the past few weeks, was named through an online contest that garnered over 1,800 suggested names, submitted by NC students, staff, faculty and alumni.
The final name, chosen from among the submissions by college president Dan Patterson and his partner Saundra, has a greenhouse connection, as cats are often sought out in the industry to “scout” out mice and other critters on the job. The winning name was first submitted by Casey, an NC alumni, who will receive a a $50 Bench-to-Go gift card and a $50 Greenhouse gift card.
