'Biggest cat I've ever seen,' as one animal control worker puts it, is now living at an Arizona animal shelter. Meatball is affectionate, but needs placement at an overweight animal facility and isn't eligible for adoption.
He arrived at the Arizona animal shelter after being shuffled from home to home, according to KTVK-TV in Phoenix.

He looks like a really sweet cat, large but healthy looking.
What kind of nonsense is that he is not eligible for adoption, when what he really needs is exactly a loving, patient home where they would help him lose weight and stay healthy.

The cat was named by the Vietnamese restaurant owner who adopted it.

Whoever his previous owner was treated this cat cruelly. There is nothing cute about feeding an animal until they are this obese.
He is such a good looking cat. Hope he gets a new home that will treat him like a cat

What is their problem with a proper placement? Michelle Obama knows all about fat - she could slim up this cat - send the cat now - problem solved.

Poor fellow looks like he has a cataract or something wrong in one of his eyes as well.

We have a chi with hypothyroidism that we have essentially starved to death for the last 2.5 years since we adopted him. He was extremely overweight when we brought him home to begin with, but undiagnosed on his health problems. He has continued to gain weight even with every precaution to limit his food intake, exercising him.
Three other dogs we have are perfectly normal weights. Sometimes it happens.

People with hypothyroidism get thyroid supplements, maybe you can get some for your cat - proportionate dose for his size and weight, of course.
