Which cats have the pawtential to become social media supurrstars? Here are some of my favfurite felines on the rise.

1. George the Smiler

Just look at that toothy grrrrin!  Gorgeous George had a rough start in life – he was in poor health when he was seized during a cruelty investigation. Today he has a loving furever home and many online admirers. He even has his own fan club page on Facebook!

2. A Cat Called Atlas

This Calico Point Siamese with mewnique markings and the bluest of eyes was rescued from the Sacramento SPCA. She enjoys tummy rubs and chasing lasers. 

3. Princess Gravedigger

Those little hands! That nose! That name! This special kitty born with radial hypoplasia is living her best life at the Kitty Adventure Rescue League and Sanctuary.

4. A Cat Called Kreacher

Just look at that meowgnificent underbite! As a kitten, he was found in the middle of the road, sick, malnourished and barely alive. Today, this handsome tailless vampurr cat shares a loving home with a family of rescue dogs who love him.

5. That Cat Poodle

Gotta love a cat with an interesting “look.” When he was a kitten, Poodle was rescued from under a house. Now he is the ruler of his furever home.

6. Fin 

With cheeks to spare, Fin and his furiends are more floof than fat. These round-faced cats who look more like plushies than pets live in Nanjing, China.

7. Shadow

His smoky stripes are pawsitively trendsetting, making this handsome beast a stunner fur sure. As fur his purrsonality, Shadow’s Cat Dad describes him as “a big softie.” 

8. KimTee 

This little permakitten with genetic disorders lives in a home in Thailand with other cats who have disabilities and require extra care.
