## Caption

Randy Savage's three-legged rescue cat, JYC, is still alive and being cared for by Randy's family.
​
JYC stands for Junkyard Cat, named after Savage's longtime friend Junkyard Dog. Savage rescued the cat from a junkyard after noticing it only had three legs.
​
The story was first made public in 2016 by Savage's brother Lanny Poffo: "Randy rescued a one-armed kitty about six months before he died. His wife still owns the cat who was named JYC, in honor of his fallen friend, JYD (Junkyard Dog)."
​
Savage passed away on May 20, 2011 at the age of 58. Based on Poffo's account, JYC would be approximately 15 to 16 years old today.
​
In September 2025, themachoverse Instagram account shared a recent photo of JYC provided by Savage's estate confirming the cat was still alive and healthy. bookprowrestlers posted another positive update today on JYC.
