CHATHAM COUNTY -- The 31.4 pound stray cat taken to the Chatham County Animal Shelter a couple weeks ago now has a forever home.
“Mr. Handsome” was adopted late last week by a Triangle area family, selected at random in a drawing.
Mr. Handsome had generated so much interest that the shelter decided the best way to find his new owners would be to hold a lottery drawing.
The shelter says the family has renamed Mr. Handsome to "Meatball."
Meatball also has lost about three pounds, weighing in at 28.8 pounds.
The new family promises to keep everyone up to date on Meatball’s progress on the Chatham County Animal Shelter Facebook page.
