Have you ever seen a cat the size of a small dog? Well, meet Edgar, the gentle giant of the feline world. This 21-pound Maine Coon cat, with his fluffy fur and big green eyes, is as sweet as can be.
But Edgar had a bit of a problem: he was a little too big for his old family with their small children. So, he found himself at the Humane Society of Carroll County in Maryland.

And boy, did the internet fall in love! Edgar’s photo went viral faster than you can say “meow.” Within three hours, over a million people had seen his adorable face.
It wasn’t long before a couple named Jenna and her boyfriend stumbled upon Edgar’s picture. They already had a cat and a dog at home, and thought Edgar would make a perfect addition to their furry family.
When they met Edgar, it was love at first sight. He rubbed against their legs and purred like a motorboat. They knew he was the one. And so, just a few hours after arriving at the shelter, Edgar was whisked away to his new home, where he quickly became best friends with his new siblings.
