After the popularity of our story about Socrates, the dieting cat, I thought I’d bring you another Fat Cat tale; this time, however, you might be able to help…

Higgins, a cat at a Cambridgeshire-based rescue centre, weighed 11kg when he arrived in March; making him bigger than a small dog! Now he has managed to lose almost a third of his body weight, the RPSCA are looking to find an owner who can handle a food-obsessed cat and help keep Higgins on a healthy diet; “This cat will need a very special new home as he is obsessed with food and will need someone who can commit to helping him towards a healthy lifestyle”, said a representative of the RSPCA.

Rita Austin, the cattery supervisor, said of Higgins that “He has a long way to go to reach his target weight, but we think Higgins will make the perfect companion, especially to anyone who can identify with the trials and tribulations of weight watching.” The RSPCA are looking for somebody who can identify with a cat that is “competitive over food” and capable of investing both time and money into the necessary cat insurance and special diet to help Higgins keep losing weight. If this sounds like you, why not get in touch with the RSPCA or with us here at the Cat Health blog – maybe you’re the perfect companion for this competitive cat.
