This is Peter, a giant loverboy currently in the care of Genesee County Animal Shelter in Flint, Michigan. Peter is gaining a lot of attention with his size and personality.
Take a look at the comments (more than 600 at this time) on Facebook where his post reads
“AVAILABLE! Peter is a big love. He just wants to be held, snuggled and talked to. He is very unique looking and neutered. At the adoption event dogs scared him so he we would probably do best in a home without dogs or do a slow intro. Peter is in cage 74/76; id #8504.”
Peter would do best in a home without dogs, or where the family dog is introduced slowly. Even though he’s a big loverboy, his size may intimidate a resident cat and should be considered before he’s adopted into a forever home. We want this home to be forever, and for Peter to be adopted to the proper family because of his personality and not for his ‘gorgeousness.’
Please share Peter with friends in the Flint, Michigan area. It’s a requirement his adoption be done in person. You can’t reserve him over the internet like a package. The shelter information is listed below. They reopen Tuesday at noon. It could prove interesting as to how many show up wanting to give this big boy a loving home.

He’s listed now as “adopted”
Wondering what he weighs?
My guess would be about 22 pounds.
Pray he gets a wonderful furever home!

I like your little heart. Nice.
All Adopters that apply today should be considered, then after they screen them all the best home for him should be carefully chosen for him. No dogs, not more than one or two female cats , plenty of room, grain free / quality food not commercial junk that gives adult males urinary blockage, (can be fatal) and proper care love and concern for his well being. He’s amazing and his humans should be amazing parents too!

I think he looks very handsome and impressive.
Great comment. Thanks Karin.
He is an extraordinary-looking cat; the “chocolate” color is one I just haven’t seen on ordinary cats. I’m sure all of us want to know his history. Why that is sometimes not offered with adoption cats is frustrating to me. Cats have lives that need to be known to their caregivers; and people should pay more mind to keeping track of that in case they change homes. I’ve done this with mine so as if anything happened to me, they would be better taken care of and more interesting to adopt. When a cat has a story, people tend to care more, which is great!
I shared this to a page with over 14000 exteme cat lovers, and all agree how unusual and fabulous he truly is!! I know a star when I see one ! ???
Agreed. He should be snapped up in a jiffy! He looks awesome.
Such a love bug. Is the shelter housing him a kill shelter? And surely, no one had just relinquished him?
I’m not sure whether this is a kill shelter. Someone tagged me with his photo and he’s one of the most unusual cats I’ve ever seen. I just wanted to share him with everyone. There are so many who will be fighting over who gets to take him home.
