This is 5 year old Shon Griffin from Philadelphia. “We call him Catman,” says his aunt Kris Papiernik.

Aunty Kris and her fiancée had recently taken to looking after a local group of street cats which they named the ‘Kolony Kats’

One cat, Bug, would just not cooperate until Catman arrived on the scene. “Bug came right over to Shon, rubbed against his legs and allowed him to pet him”

From that day on, Shon was Catman. He regularly visits, dressed in his favourite superhero outfit, feeding the cats and helping solve any problems.
