A chubby hangover was put on a diet after piled on the pounds during lockdown.

The chunky cat, now nine years old, was almost twice as heavy as an adult cat. His owners were moving and couldn’t take him away.
Colin was put on a special portioned diet and exercise program with toys and supervised play to help him lose weight on a more sensible 6.5 kg as a starting point.
This reduces the risk of Colin developing health problems like diabetes, joint problems, and heart failure, and it also means he can undergo a dental job that requires an anesthetic that cannot be safely done until he has lost weight.

“We’re not talking about bootcamp, but Colin is going to need encouragement to do any exercise at all, so we’re looking for an owner who has the time to get involved.
“Colin’s previous owner said he was always a big cat, but I suspect being more home meant they gave him extra goodies.
“Colin loves his food a little too much, so he didn’t want to say no. But if Colin can take something off and keep it off, he’ll live happier, healthier lives.”
