    While the shelter staff was happy to oblige Dougie, you can almost imagine that having a cat in your arms at all times can be somewhat of a hindrance…And what is worse than a crying meowing cat? Nothing. Nothing. So when feline team member Robert Weimer, for instance, had work to get done, he didn't want to disappoint Dougie. Luckily, the organization came up with the purr-fect solution.

    "We thought creatively and decided a baby bjorn allowed Robert to both hold Dougie and do his job effectively," the shelter explained in a Facebook post. A photo features the cat calmly perched in the carrier on Weimer's chest.

    Dougie, who has been receiving medical treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, was put up for adoption this week. He actually found a new home on Saturday, thanks to photos of Weirner carrying him went viral! "He loves affection and to be near his people all the time," Jeana Roth, director of community engagement at the shelter, told HuffPost. "He's also very chatty and will even give kisses when you ask him for them. He gets along well with other pets and even grooms them."
