“Is there a place in your heart for a 15-kilogram cat? How about a room in your house? Keep in mind that he will need a sufficient amount of food supplies ", - this was the message the workers wrote yesterday. Chatham County Animal Services (CCAS) to your subscribers on page Facebook. He writes about it Miami Herald.
The Chatham County Shelter in Pittsboro, North Carolina, is looking for a home and family for a 15-kilogram gray cat, which was brought to the orphanage as a stray. But the animal shelter workers doubt that this huge gray handsome was homeless. He is well-fed and well-groomed.
Ginny Gianret, under whose care this giant giant cat fell, claims that in all the years of work she has never seen such a huge animal.
“For all 10 years of my work at the shelter, I have not seen such huge cats. Before that, I worked in a veterinary clinic, so there was a cat that weighed about 12 kilograms, ”says Ginny.
Stray cats often appear in a shelter, but such a huge size has never been. In addition, the cat is fattened, well-groomed and even neutered. Unfortunately, he did not find any identifier or microchip.
After posting a cat on Monday at Facebook, the shelter received more 1700 comments and 12 thousands of reposts. But those who wanted to shelter such a friendly, castrated animal with an abundant appetite was never found. As his previous owners did not show up.
The average weight of an adult cat ranges from 3 to 5 kilograms. Some breeds, for example, such as the Maine Coon can grow to 8-10 and even to 12 kilograms. But CCAS claims that this tabby is not a Maine Coon cat.
If the previous owner of the giant cat does not contact the representatives of the shelter, then the animal will be handed over for adoption.
In addition, representatives of the shelter warn that the cat needs good care, rather extensive veterinary care, tests and special diets. Much of this will attract substantial expenses from the budget, and the adoptive family should be ready for this.
