Bazooka the cat

A lovable 35-pound cat named Bazooka has found a new forever home after he moved into an animal shelter earlier this week.

On Tuesday, the Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals of Wake County, North Carolina, introduced Bazooka on their social media channels, explaining that the “big boy” had arrived at the shelter that day for “his weight loss journey.”

“That’s one big boy! (35lbs big!),” the SPCA of Wake County’sInstagram captionreads, alongside the hashtag “bodypawsitive”. “Bazooka arrived at the SPCA today where he‘ll receive some much needed medical care. Let’s all send our well wishes to Bazooka as he begins his weight loss journey!”

On Facebook, the shelteraddedthat Bazooka would soon be moving in with “a trained foster family.”

Bazooka is now living with a foster mother named Michelle Barry and has been put on a new special diet. He moved in with his foster family on Tuesday, and Barry told theNews & Observerthat he has already become playful and comfortable.

“He wants to be around people,” Barry said. “He’s happiest lying right next to you. And he’s more active than I expected him to be.”

Bazooka already has a forever home lined up after his time with the foster family, and is scheduled to move in on Monday, according toWABC.

“We don’t know a lot of the back stories of the animals we get, but we try not to judge people or make people feel bad about the circumstances that led to their surrender,” VanderSlik told theNews & Observer. “We’re really lucky to have the resources to take him in and help him get a home he deserves.”
