當(dāng)2歲的B先生到達(dá)費城莫里斯動物保護(hù)區(qū)時,救援人員貼出了這只26磅重的小貓的一些驚人照片,引起了全世界新粉絲的注意。
"OMG, big boi Mr. B is a CHONK. He's a chonk of a chonk. He redefines the term," the rescue wrote on Facebook. "Can you guess how much he weighs? More importantly, can you give him a home? Adopt this jumbo-sized package of fluff & love, and help this sad-eyed guy find happiness!"
“天哪,大個子B先生是個軟骨頭。它是個軟骨頭中的軟骨頭。它重新定義了這個詞。”“你能猜到它有多重嗎?”更重要的是,你能給它一個家嗎?接受這個巨大的毛絨和愛的包裹,幫助這個悲傷的家伙找到幸福!”

People were smitten with the tabby, whose full name is Beejay, and immediately began applying to adopt him. More than 3,000 cat lovers submitted applications to the refuge to adopt the "big-boned" cat.
人們被這只全名叫Beejay的虎斑貓迷住了,立刻開始申請收養(yǎng)它。3000多名愛貓人士向該收容所提交了領(lǐng)養(yǎng)這只“大骨架”貓的申請。
Even the Philadelphia Police Department weighed in.
甚至費城警察局也參與進(jìn)來。
"Um, if he doesn't get adopted (highly unlikely) he's welcome to join our K9 Unit as its first Feline (he IS a cat, right?!) member," they tweeted.
他們在推特上寫道:“嗯,如果它沒有被收養(yǎng)(可能性很小),我們歡迎它加入我們的K9小組,成為第一個貓科動物成員(它是一只貓,對吧?!)。”

After sifting through the piles of suitors, the refuge found a perfect fit. They placed the hefty Mr. B with a foster family who hopes to adopt the kitty if he likes them and they like him. The foster family has experience working with cats that have behavioral and medical issues like Mr. B's, so they should be a great match.
在篩選了一大堆申請者之后,收容所為它找到了一個完美的伴侶。他們把身材魁梧的B先生介紹給一個寄養(yǎng)家庭,如果B先生喜歡他們,他們也喜歡它,他們就希望收養(yǎng)這只小貓。寄養(yǎng)家庭有處理像B先生這樣有行為和醫(yī)療問題的貓的經(jīng)驗,所以他們應(yīng)該是很好的一對。
"This family hasn't just dealt with these issues in other cats, they have embraced them," the refuge said.
“這個家庭不僅處理了其他貓的這些問題,他們還接受了這些問題,”收容所說。
"We will continue to work with this foster family to help them work through Mr. B's issues. While the goal is to make this Mr. B's forever home, the family will be able to provide him with a safe and comfortable environment while we learn more about him and his needs."
“我們將繼續(xù)與這個寄養(yǎng)家庭合作,幫助他們解決B先生的問題。我們的目標(biāo)是讓這里永遠(yuǎn)成為B先生的家,在我們更多地了解它和它的需求的同時,它的家人將能夠為它提供一個安全舒適的環(huán)境。”
And for disappointed applicants and eager fans who just love him, the refuge has a T-shirt fundraiser featuring his engaging image.
對于那些失望的申請者和只愛它的狂熱粉絲來說,收容所有一場t恤募捐活動,以它迷人的形象為特色。
We hope to hear more — and see less — of you soon, Mr. B.
B先生,我們希望不久能更多地聽到您的消息,更少地見到您。
