12公斤胖貓被遺棄到收容所　竟吸引雪片般領養詢問！

美國佛羅里達州一間收容所在日前迎來一巨大嬌客，牠是一隻重達12公斤的灰白胖貓，牠不但有肥胖問題，生活的變化讓牠備感困惑與壓力，收容所知道牠需要特別照顧，立即為牠進行減重以及尋家計劃！

胖胖貓「威爾福德Wilford」其實是被主人棄養到收容所的，當時牠重達12公斤，肥胖身軀讓牠無法自己清理毛髮，飼主又不會照顧因此牠看起來凌亂不堪，加上面對陌生環境感到巨大壓力和不知所措，因此一開始牠拒絕活動總是躲在角落。雖然獸醫師診斷牠必須減重將近「一半的牠」才算標準，但慶幸的是牠沒有糖尿病或其它疾病，因此收容所立刻安置牠住在寄養家庭實施減重計劃，希望幫助牠找回健康與活力。

照顧威爾福德沒有想像中容易，龐大身軀讓牠只要運動一下就氣喘吁吁，偶爾還會出現嚴重的咳嗽或是哮喘，因此牠總是喜歡「仰躺」在地板或是任何牠覺得舒適的地方，寄養馬麻珍Jen深知牠的需求，因此只拿貓薄荷玩具引誘牠進行小範圍活動，並且採用完全濕食控制食量，漸漸地威爾福德開始喜歡遊戲、被撫摸甚至洗澡，對人類再次敞開心房的牠只要一摸摸，就會立刻發出巨大的呼嚕聲！

雖然大家深知牠的減重將會是一段漫長之旅，但是牠已經準備好進入新家，因此當牠的認養文一被公佈時，令人意外的是竟然吸引超多民眾爭相詢問這隻「超級大貓」。很幸運地一對名叫凱亞Kiah Berkeley和彼得Peter Sorkin的夫妻順利成為威爾福德的新爸媽，由於他們有幫助胖貓減重的經驗，知道如何照顧牠，而且牠到新家短短兩周就減輕了1公斤，相信在新爸媽的愛護之下，不久的將來威爾福德一定能恢復帥氣又標準的身材，成為真正的「療癒系貓咪」，現在一起來看看牠的影片吧！（編輯：陳珮瑜）

**** ADOPTED!!! **** . Wilford the Great has accomplished an amazing new feat! He has found an incredible family that is excited to have him and is dedicated to his happiness and well-being! . Wilfie went to his new home yesterday and is currently working hard on settling in. While he turned his nose up at dinner last night, his appetite is back this morning and he’s already showing his tummy and purring up a storm.💗 . His family knows that all of you are invested in Wilford’s health and happiness and they are thinking through how to keep you all updated. For right now though, their primary focus is on getting Wilford settled in and adjusted to his new home and family. . Many of you may already know Wilford’s new family, as they were the proud and affectionate parents of Vito (aka Symba the Tubby Tabby), who weighed more than 30 lbs when they adopted him. Sadly, Vito passed away a little over a month ago, so Peter and Kiah had a super-sized cat-shaped hole in their hearts and home. While Wilford will never replace Vito, Peter and Kiah are uniquely qualified to care for Wilford and his special needs. I think he will be very happy with them.💗 . I still have dozens of photos of Wilford that I haven’t posted yet, so you can expect to see throwbacks for a while to come.🤗 .
