AFRMA Spottie Guy Award

Spottie Guy Award

The Spottie Guy memorial award is given in honor of Nancy Ferris’ special rat “Spottie Guy.” The Spottie Guy memorial award will be given to the rat winning the largest number of pet classes during the year (January–November). Only Best Pet classes will qualify, none of the “other” pet classes will count. It will serve as a perpetual trophy, being handed down to a new winner each year.

“The little rat who in his short life gave more love than many others in a few years.”
