Rescued Cat Wins Pet of the Week

This week, Franklin, a rescued cat from New York City, took the spotlight as Newsweek’s Pet of the Week, captivating hearts with his remarkable journey from a wanderer to a cherished member of his loving family.

Andrea and Alice, residents of New York City, stumbled upon Franklin one day as he roamed along the median strip on Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn. Without hesitation, they welcomed him into their home, where he now lives with two other feline companions.

Known affectionately as the “spaghetti cat” due to his elongated frame, Franklin has quickly endeared himself to his new parents with his companionship. Andrea shared, “He loves to sit with us during meals and drink water out of his own glass,” showcasing Franklin’s love for his newfound home. Now, he is an integral part of his family’s daily life, always eager to participate in their activities.

However, Franklin isn’t the only remarkable pet making headlines this week as the pet of the week. Joining him as finalists are Scarlett, a resilient Shih Tzu, and Archie, a charismatic tabby cat.

Scarlett, despite being born with a spinal deformity, exudes resilience and warmth, serving as an inspiration to her parent Michelle Smith. Through social media, Smith shares Scarlett’s story, advocating for rescue and special needs pets, one post at a time. Meanwhile, Archie, with his love for posing and playfulness, brings joy to mom Tracy Scalia’s life. Whether he’s striking a pose for the camera or engaging in playful antics with his feline friend, Archie’s spirited personality shines bright.
