Tubbalapolous

At first glance, Tubbalapolous looks like he has three outstanding warrants, a long criminal history and possibly a small gang operating out of a laneway.

He does not.

This enormous street gentleman is, in fact, a BIG SOFTY.

Tubbalapolous has spent his days living the street-cat lifestyle, roaming, exploring, making questionable life choices and presumably eating whatever he could find. So now that he has been promoted to King of the Indoor Kingdom, he is going to need a little time to understand this whole "being a house cat" business.

He is a genuinely gentle and sweet boy who enjoys his food VERY much. And honestly, with a name like Tubbalapolous, were we expecting anything less?

He may initially look at you like you've interrupted a highly important meeting, but underneath the intimidating exterior is a big, lovable marshmallow who is just figuring out how nice life can be when you don't have to survive on the streets.

Tubbalapolous will need a patient home that understands he may take some time to settle in and realise that couches are for sleeping on, humans are for providing snacks, and he is no longer required to run the streets like an unpaid security guard.

Give him time. Give him food. Give him a soft place to land.

And prepare yourself for the possibility that this terrifying-looking unit eventually turns into the biggest cuddlebug you've ever met.

Tubbalapolous: 10/10 intimidating appearance.
0/10 actual menace.
100/10 snack enthusiast.
