A loving family adopted him back in October!!

“The Dude abides. I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that, knowin’ he’s out there. The Dude. Takin’ ‘er easy for all us sinners.” Happy tails, Dude! #dupagesaves

PS: This is as good of a time as any to plug MY fur kids on Instagram! Lol

FOLLOW: @AidenandTucker!!

Now what gets me so angry...

In an original news story about the cat, they said that he was surrendered because the family was moving.

How is that a reason to give up your fur kid??

I’m just hoping there were some extra circumstances as to why the family couldn’t take the cat with. Otherwise that is so crappy.

Don’t own a cat if you don’t plan on taking care of it for its entire life!
