Wow! Dwayne "The Cat" Johnson is here, and though he may look 200 years old, this guy is only 11 😮! Dwayne came to us after a pretty rough life outdoors and is looking better every day. This lap cat prefers to have company and is in search of an adopter who is either retired or working from home.

This happy guy is Lenny 😍 though the person who trapped him let us know he prefers to be called "Fan Man!" Whatever you call him, it can't be denied that this shy-at-first TNR angel baby just wants love (and maybe some treats now and again). We can't wait to send him home 💕
