A Home for Henry?
This big hunka feline love is tired of sharing the lap of his caretaker, who called him a “total attention hog (in a good way)” with the other foster kitties in his Windsor Terrace foster home.

Friday’s Adoptable Pet: Benny the Couch Potato
From our good friends at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition: Eight-year-old Benny was rescued from a Woodhaven backyard.
