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.

Looks more like a meatloaf than a meatball.

What the h- have people been feeding him? Twinkies?

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.

I saw this on the news and thought the same thing. It's not hard to keep a kitteh at a normal weight. You leave out quality dry food but you put it on a counter so they have to jump for it and also to keep the dogs from eating it and you only give the big guy a little bit of wet food. The weight will come off. Either the previous owners were cruel or they didn't know better and just kept feeding him the whole can of wet twice a day and didn't notice his zeppelin physique. I think the second option is probably what happened.

As someone mentioned, he has what looks like a cataract in his eye. I had two kittehs that had eye problems but there's an awesome feline eye Doctor in town who helped both of our kittehs and one had had the problem for 6 months and the regular vet could do nothing and the eye actually looked abraded. A single drop of prednisolone twice daily cleared it up quickly and we just give him a drop a week to keep his eye healthy. I felt bad for the kitteh, I don't like when an eyelash is in my eye and he had to put up with a much worse problem for 6 months and it turned out to be an autoimmune problem.

I'd take this guy in a heartbeat.

He is just a little bit overweight.

I hear he has a great personality though.

LOL!

He needs a very carefully managed weight loss plan. If cats lose weight too quickly, they can develop fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease can be rapidly fatal.

Also, I wonder what is with the little fellow’s eye? Is that repairable?

ALF likes them well-marbled.

He’s not fat! He’s fluffy.

I’d take him in a heartbeat poor baby.
