As Alaskans cheer for chunky grizzlies during Fat Bear Week, a hefty Raleigh cat named Jane is turning heads at the SPCA of Wake County.

 

Tipping the scales at over 20 pounds, Jane flaunts her ample figure with every adorable waddle across the shelter floor.

 

Brought in after her longtime owner could no longer care for her, the nine-year-old feline arrived with homemade blankets and a gentle spirit.

 

Despite her size, Jane’s sweet, food-loving personality has endeared her to staff and sparked playful comparisons to Alaska’s bulkiest bears.

 

Currently, Jane is participating in the SPCA’s sleepover program with a Raleigh family, who have until October 5 to decide on adoption.

 

If not adopted, her profile will return to the SPCA’s website, where the public can apply to meet her at the Beacon Lake Drive shelter.

 

The SPCA hopes this plump yet affectionate cat soon finds a loving, permanent home.

Raleigh’s food lovers can look forward to a major new flavor as the famed Anchor Bar prepares to open its first North Carolina location right in the city’s heart.

 

Famous for crafting the original Buffalo wing in 1964, Anchor Bar will soon open at 6615 Falls of the Neuse Road in the bustling Falls Village shopping center.

 

Excitement is high among locals eager to sample the legendary wings that originated in Buffalo, New York, thanks to Teressa Bellissimo’s iconic creation.

 

The restaurant promises a menu rich with their signature spicy, tangy wings plus appetizers, sandwiches, and classic American dishes.

 

This launch reflects Raleigh’s rising status as a dynamic food destination, inviting both long-time wing fans and curious newcomers.

 

As the opening date nears, the Anchor Bar is set to honor its storied tradition while embracing the city’s vibrant community.

 

Get ready—the original Buffalo wing is coming to Raleigh.
