Cute Chunky Cat Finds New Home

Recently, a Virginia cat went viral as the internet fell in love with the 28-pound feline. Now, the chunky cat has found a new home.

Named “One Frosty Too Many” by Richmond Animal Care and Control, the gray and white cat was found wandering the streets. After being at the shelter, it was discovered that he did not fit inside the cages. So, the chunky cat got a special room all to himself. Described as “28.5 lbs with a side of crankiness”, the cat was looking for a home that would let him do “what he wants, when he wants.” Soon, he warmed up to the shelter staff and his personality shone through.

“Frosty” did not have to wait long for a new home. A few days after the shelter posted about him, Maggie Thompson stepped in to adopt the chunky cat. Now, he goes by the name Gus and is on a diet to get him down to a healthier weight.
