A Phoenix, Arizona animal shelter has one big cat on its hands. The Maricopa County Animal Care and Control recently received a 36-pound cat -- appropriately named "Meatball."

The giant kitty is temporarily staying in an office at the shelter because he's just too big to fit into a standard kennel. But nobody will be allowed to adopt Meatball. Instead, the shelter is trying to place him with a rescue organization that helps overweight cats.

The shelter says Meatball is extremely friendly and says he can comfortably walk despite being grossly overweight. (myway.com)
