Kroshik, a 17kg Russian cat whose name means “Crumbs,” was found abandoned at a hospital, weighing as much as a human baby! Hospital staff discovered the chubby feline in the basement, where he had likely been living and enjoying ample snacks that led to his impressive size.
Due to his weight, Kroshik found walking difficult. He was taken to a veterinarian in Perm, but his thick layer of fat made it impossible for doctors to perform an ultrasound on his stomach. Now, Kroshik is on a strict diet and, once he’s mobile again, he will be introduced to gentle treadmill workouts to help him shed the extra kilos and regain his health.
His journey is a beautiful reminder of how a little care and compassion can make a big difference!
