Fancy Feast

The animal shelter that is caring for the now-famous portly feline named Powder currently has over 100 adoption offers for the kitty.

I’m happy to see so many people offering to adopt a homeless cat, but for some reason I imagine that they’re only interested in Powder because he’s famous.

Hopefully all these people will still be willing to adopt another tabby from the shelter even after they find out that Powder has gone to one of the other adoption families. Caring shouldn’t be based upon fame.
