An obese cat who prompted warnings from a charity about overfeeding is now up for adoption after a serious diet. Four-year-old Rainbow, from Bridgend, was almost killed by kindness after being overfed in her early years of life.
The tortoiseshell and white feline came to Cats Protection’s Bridgend Adoption Centre in March, 2022, when she weighed 12.7kg. She has been on an epic weight loss journey over the past year, losing 4.6kg and is now up for adoption even though she is still twice the weight of an average cat
Rainbow had initially left the centre as a kitten in 2018 when she was found as a stray taken from a feral colony when she was extremely underweight, being just 0.49kg. But she was brought back to the centre as she had been overfed and was barely able to walk, groom or clean herself due to her weight.
