Fishtopher was adopted from Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center in Blackwood, New Jersey, after social media caught a glimpse at his sad, chunky face.

Just a few days ago, a sad cat named Fishtopher was up for adoption at Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center in Blackwood, New Jersey.

His Petfinder bio read:


"Fishtopher is not a fish out of water, but he is out of sorts at the shelter. He is very sad and depressed, and will only eat when he has company."

The bio said that Fishtopher was found as a stray and was probably missing his family but enjoyed one-on-one attention.

It finished with:

"Fishtopher is a big cheeky boy, wouldn't you love rubbing up on those big cheeks?"
"He loves cuddling up in arms, it seems to make him feel secure. We feel that Fishtopher would do best in a more quiet home."
"Please come rescue our big lovable boy!"

Upon seeing the bio, Molly Clarke took to Twitter to spread the word with a tweet captioned:

"I swear to god. If one of you doesn't go get Fishtopher..."

The tweet quickly went viral, and it didn't take long before Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center posted an update about Fishtopher:

"FISHTOPHER HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!"
"Fishtopher went viral online with his sad, fat face. We literally had hundreds of inquiries from people who wanted to adopt and people were waiting out front this morning in line!"
"We're super happy for him, but if you were interested in him, have no fear. We have hundreds of other kitties who are just as wonderful and are wishing that people would come and stand in line for them."

On Saturday, the world got an update as Fishtopher's new owners tweeted a video of him in his new habitat getting some "skritches."

The twitterverse professed their love for Fishtopher and celebrated his adoption.










Fishtopher now has his own Twitter account, and has been using his popularity to help other kitties in need.



Homeward Bound announced that seven other cats were adopted, as well, thanks to Fishtopher's stardom.

And, yes, Fishtopher is trending. As well he should be.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
