Cc was born at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A & M University, under the direction of Dr. Mark Westhusin, in collaboration with Dr. Taeyoung Shin (김태영). The project is funded by Genetic Savings & Clone, which wishes to profit from those pet owners wishing to resurrect their dead pets. Operation Cc was actually an experiment in a larger project, called Missyplicity, to clone a dog (Missy) owned by John Sperling, a university founder.
Eventually, Cc is to move into the household of Duane Kraemer, one of the team members of this operation.
