These two need each other. Meatloaf is 30 pound tabby cat at King’s Harvest Pet Rescue, Davenport, IOWA, USA. He became a celeb. I think it’s his cute expression. The nonchalance. He doesn’t care if he is more than twice the weight he should be. I hope his new owner does care though because …
Corleone was saved from euthanasia at NY City ACC by Magnificat Cat Rescue and Rehoming. They did all they could to make sure he went to a good home. The woman they selected had good references and her veterinarian said she was a responsible pet owner. She had a dog and Corleone liked dogs. …
