The rescue centre made a tweet about Mister B which read,
“OMG, big boi Mr. B is a CHONK. He’s a chonk of a chonk. He redefines the term. Can you guess how much he weighs? More importantly, can you give him a home? Adopt this jumbo-sized package of fluff & love[…] to help this sad-eyed guy find happiness!”

The tweet was liked many thousands of times and people were wondering how much he actually weighs.
Commenters wrote:

“This cat is amazing and I want to squeeze.”
“I mean, can we be 100% sure he’s not actually a snow leopard with a dye job? I’m up in Roxborough and I’m kind of surprised I can’t hear him stomping around.”
And as it turns out Mister B weighs an astounding 26 pounds!

Morris Animal Refuge received such a high amount of support that they just had to write a new message saying,
“Sweet chunky Mr. B’s amazed by the huge outpawing of interest in him – over 3000 applications! He has a foster (maybe forever) home now – but so many other great adoptable cats need you.”
However, many people were sad when they found out that Mister B was no longer available for adoption.
