Bazooka Joe, a ginger tabby cat from North Carolina that weighed an astounding 36.6 pounds (approx. 16.6 kg), was placed in the care of the Wake County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals after his previous owner died.
SPCA first introduced Bazooka to the world by posting pictures of him on Facebook on Jan. 15, 2020, with the caption, “Get ready for a lotta love! This is Bazooka, he just arrived from one of SPCA Wake’s valued transfer partners.”
