CHICAGO (CBS) -- Our PAWS Chicago Pet of the Week is a very special boy with a big heart, Brandon.  

He recently arrived at PAWS, and after some routine tests, the vet staff at PAWS diagnosed him with an enlarged atrium and congestive heart failure. Cats with that diagnosis tend to live just 12-18 more months. 

Brandon, who is a purring snuggle machine, deserves a home full of love and happiness to live out those months – won't you come meet him today?
