ABC News has reported that Joan and Richard Bowell of God’s Little People Cat Rescue who placed the ad, have been flooded with over 35,000 applications since the job post went viral.

"When we put up the advert, we expected about maybe 20-30 applicants -- we were utterly overwhelmed to get to more than [35,000]," Joan and Richard Bowell of God’s Little People Cat Rescue told ABC News.

“It all said one thing to us - there are so many people out there who really love cats and want them to have a proper life."
