After the Internet Went Absolutely Crazy Over This Chonky Cat, He Finally Finds a Forever Home
Mr. B did not just get attention online, he practically took over it. The 26-pound cat from Philadelphia’s Morris Animal Refuge had the kind of photo that stops a scroll, and once people saw him, they could not look away.
The shelter posted that the two-year-old cat was looking for a forever home, and the response was immediate. Adoption interest poured in, the post spread fast, and suddenly this chonky cat was the center of a very loud internet moment.
And after all that buzz, Mr. B finally got the ending everyone was hoping for.
Here's the Original Tweet
Look at this chonk! Isn't he the cutest?
No one expected this tweet to blow up; it quickly gathered 14.5k retweets and over 50k likes!
The post took off fast.
Morris Animal Refuge ended up selecting a forever home for the two-year-old chonk after careful consideration.
The shelter's website even crashed after receiving so many adoption requests.
That kind of attention is hard to ignore.
Mr. B’s internet fame is not over now that he has found a new home; you can still follow his Instagram account and check up on your favorite chonk from time to time.
His Instagram handle is "chonkymrb"
Welcome Home, Mr. B!
“We saw this Instagram photo four hours after it was posted (this is actually the very screenshot I took when I saw him), and we instantly agreed that we loved BeeJay already. Here’s to sharing Mr. B’s story (keeping his name and still calling him BeeJay, too!). We’ve got a long way to go and plenty to share (he’s doing great, by the way!)” wrote the new owners.
Such a Lovely Cat
People had plenty to say about him.
And this chaos is similar to hoomans returning a cat for being “too affectionate,” then regretting it when fame hit.

The comments kept rolling in.
Mr. B got the happy ending he deserved.
