The Oregon Humane Society (OHS) is looking for a home for 28-pound Walter the cat.

The Portland shelter says Walter, who was brought in last week, is one of the largest cats its ever received.

 “This cat is looking for a workout partner to help him lose weight in the new year,” said OHS executive director Sharon Harmon in a statement. “Obese cats are no laughing matter, and we will give a free bag of low-calorie cat food and a laser pointer for exercise to whoever adopts Walter.”

On Thursday OHS will hold its Lucky 12 adoption campaign, in which all adult cats and rabbits will have an adoption fee of $12.

This cat does not need a "low calorie diet", he needs a species appropriate GRAIN FREE diet! If no one is willing to convert him onto a raw diet, he should at least be given grain free kibble, as grains are the #1 cause of obesity in carnivorous pets.

Walter is surely the one-percenter in the cat world. Even at 28 lbs the little bugger still has less hair than Donald Trump.

Overfeeding is abusive. OHS should foster this kitty out until it's in better health.
