Fishtopher the cat's journey to his new home started with a tweet.

The tweet blew up over Thanksgiving, with 168,000 likes and over 21,000 retweets as of Sunday. Social media users replied with encouragement and pictures of their own rescue cats, hoping someone would adopt Fishtopher.

The couple drove from Baltimore to Blackwood on Saturday, leaving around 8 a.m. and arriving at Homeward Bound around 10 a.m., an hour before the centre opened. Folts knew that others would come to meet Fishtopher, so they waited in the cold to be first in line. Their efforts paid off. Folts and Callahan said Homeward Bound told them they got hundreds of inquiries about Fishtopher, with some traveling from California and the United Arab Emirates.
