CORNWALL, Conn. (WFSB/Gray News) - An animal shelter in Connecticut says a black cat was recently surrendered for being “too affectionate.”

The Little Guild Animal Shelter shared a video of the 8-year-old cat named Ravi and soon enough it went viral.

The shelter said it has since been inundated with adoption requests.

“He’s a great guy,” Ann DeCerbo, of the animal shelter, said. “He loves to be right in the middle of things. He wants to be in your face, knowing what’s going on and making sure he’s a part of the action.”

The shelter said more than 160 people or families applied for Ravi.

While Ravi can only have one family or owner, the shelter stressed that many more cats are also in need of a forever home.
