Animal welfare groups are trying to find homes for professional wrestler and South Jersey-native King Kong Bundy’s cats after the wrestling star died suddenly earlier this month.

Bundy, whose real name is Christopher Pallies, had several cats, according to Purrfect Angels Cat Rescue, a group helping to find homes for the wrestler’s beloved felines.

Cats, Pat, 15, Paige, 10, and Stewie, 8, were taken to the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, the organization said on Facebook.

“This pretty gal with the big beautiful eyes is Paige. She is a 10 year young Tortoiseshell cat looking for a new home. She had a wonderful life with her human daddy, King Kong Bundy, but sadly he passed away and Paige is in need of a home,” the animal shelter wrote in a Facebook post.

“She is sad and lonely and just wants someone to love again,” the post said.

The shelter is also offering adoption discounts to adopt the cats together. In a quest to find homes for the wrestler's cats, the shelter shared photos on social media, leading to a flood of comments.

“Stewie misses his daddy a lot, but he's doing his best to keep his spirits up until he finds a new human to love,” another post from the shelter said. “Stewie loves nothing more than to cuddle up next to you for love.”

Pallies, who bested Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, was a "fantastic kitty lover” Suzanne Pomeroy, of the Purrfect Angels Cat Rescue, told the Courier-Post.

Pat along with another cat, Gio, are being cared for at Purrfect Angels Cat Rescue of Turnersville.

Pallies, the larger-than-life wrestler, gained fame in the prime of the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s. He graduated from Washington Township High School in Gloucester County and was born in Atlantic City. The South Jersey resident died March 4 at 61.
