Avril Lavigne doesn’t play guitar or take the stage.
She is a two-year-old cat who arrived at the Surrey Animal Resource Centre with something no one expected: natural dark markings around her eyes, identical to the grunge eyeliner that made the pop-punk singer famous. The shelter gave her that name as a perfect nod, and the photos quickly spread across social media.
With that feline gaze and diva attitude, many agreed on the resemblance, though there was no shortage of people jokingly comparing her even to Morgan Freeman. The truth is that Avril, according to those who cared for her, is as sweet with people as she is demanding about being the center of attention: she doesn’t like sharing the throne with other cats.
Today, that story has a happy ending. The shelter confirmed that she has already been adopted and found the home where she can reign as the one and only queen.
