Our pets of the week today, hoping to find a forever home, include a beautiful cat that is a 20-pound Garfield look-alike.

It is a feline's turn to take center stage on Pets of the Week, where dogs, for no particular reason, typically get the most attention. Take a moment to look at this week's featured pets from the Roice-Hurst Humane Society in Grand Junction.

Garfield Look Alike Will Steal  Your Heart

The original Garfield was a pretty grumpy cat, and that is not the case with Tigger, who is 20 pounds of pure love. This Garfield look-alike is 6 years old and gets along with kids, dogs, and other cats. He's been declawed on his front feet, so he'll need to be an indoor cat. He also needs to lose a few pounds and needs a loving family to help him achieve his weight-loss goals.
