1:45Now PlayingKay Ford adopted Patches, a 40-pound cat, the same day the Richmond Animal Care and Control posted about him. Now he's on a journey to become healthier.
RELATEDFig the cat gives hiking two thumbs up
Remember the 40-pound cat in Virginia who found his furever home last week? He's a total dude, pretty confident, and he's doing just fine.
Kay Ford adopted the 6-year-old cat, named Patches, after Richmond Animal Care and Control posted about him on April 19. He weighed 40.3 pounds when the facility posted him online.
She took him to the veterinarian Tuesday, where he weighed in at 38.8 pounds, Ford said, but many scales are calibrated differently so she has ordered one to weigh him weekly at home.
Patches is seeing a certified feline specialist and his diet is pretty experimental right now, she said. He is a picky eater but seems to like pâté and liver.
