Gilbert is celebrating Labor Day by taking off from his job at The Cat Room Diner in the Montclair Township Animal Shelter. The shelter's ridiculously silly three-year-old grey-and-white cat Tuxedo actually wants a permanent break from frying tuna fish, slinging turkey hash, and serving mouseburgers.

While he loves meowing up his regular customers, he’s just biding his time until the right human family comes along and he can retire. Like all shelter kitties, his true American Dream is a house where he can snooze and run around freely.

Can you be the one to take loneliness off of our hard-working Gilbert’s menu? There’s no substitute for a forever home!

The Montclair Township Animal Shelter is located at 77 North Willow Street.
