Rescued Chubby Cat Loves To Show His Belly And Receive Pampering

Wilford is a big gray cat that weighs around 28 pounds and likes showing off his enormous round tummy whenever the occasion arises. This massive 8-year-old kitty was recovered in late December by Lost Dog and Cat Rescue, a Virginia-based rescue organization (United States).

He was eventually relocated to Jen and Ian’s foster home in Washington, DC.

The foster mother of Jen Wilford told The Dodo:

“He swings on his back numerous times a day, sometimes wanting to have his belly rubbed, sometimes wailing ‘Woe to me!’”

His foster family worked hard to help Wilford lose weight. When he got home he was just looking for food.

Jen wrote on her instagram page:

“He is incredibly sweet, but he is also confused, stressed and overwhelmed by all the changes in his life, he had just lost his family, his home and his routine. He was in a new environment, with new people, new smells, new sounds and other cats “.

This huge cat has been through a difficult transition and was showing great anxiety when Jen and Ian welcomed him home.

The first thing his foster parents did was take the huge cat to the vet, where they discovered that the chubby cat had asthma and an infection in his upper respiratory tract.

Managing to help him and getting this cat to lose weight and improve his health has been a difficult task, but his foster family looked for alternatives so that Wilford can lead a much healthier life.

It is an arduous task to control his diet due to his anxiety, but everything that is done is in search of his well-being.

Jen added:

“Wilford’s personality is even bigger than his belly!”

Wilford follows a calorie-restricted diet and eats high-quality food. He exercises daily, and is beginning to pant less each day, he is struggling to get his bowels to work better, but he is happy, purring like any other cat and enjoying cuddles and toys, according to Jen.

After spending a month with his foster family, this cat managed to lose some weight, started exercising, looked happy and enjoyed wagging his tail with satisfaction.

Jen added:

“He is an incredibly sweet guy with an amazing personality, we truly believe that he will thrive and lose those pounds in the right environment with the right people.”

Now Wilford’s life changed completely, after going through all this process he has been adopted and has a fabulous permanent family that gives him all the love that this feline needs.
