From Dangerously Overweight to Adoption Ready: Rainbow's Transformation

Last March, a severely overweight cat named Rainbow arrived at the Cats Protection Bridgend adoption center in the UK. At that time, her life hung in the balance due to her extreme weight.

Rainbow's Starting Point

When Rainbow first came to the adoption center, she weighed a shocking 28 pounds. Her obesity caused serious problems. She could barely walk. She couldn't groom herself. She couldn't even play like normal cats do.

Her weight put her at high risk for many health problems. The staff knew they needed to help Rainbow lose weight to save her life.

A Year of Progress

After a full year on a careful diet, Rainbow has made amazing progress. She has lost 10 pounds and now weighs just under 18 pounds.

The weight loss has changed Rainbow's life completely. As the pounds melted away, her natural cat behaviors returned. Her energy came back. Her curiosity grew. She even started playing again – something she hadn't been able to do when she was at her heaviest.

Ready for a Forever Home

The best news of all is that Rainbow is now healthy enough to be adopted. She's ready to find her forever family.

But Rainbow does have some special needs. She still has more weight to lose, so her new family will need to continue her strict diet under veterinary supervision. They'll need to be committed to helping her reach a healthy weight.

Rainbow also has limited eyesight. Because of this, she needs to be primarily an indoor cat. She can enjoy some outdoor time, but only in a fenced yard with supervision.

Adopt Rainbow

If you're interested in giving Rainbow her forever home, you can find her on the Cats Protection Bridgend adoption center's website. The center also has many other cats looking for loving families.

Rainbow's journey from dangerously obese to adoption-ready is truly inspiring. With proper care and patience, she has transformed into a healthier, happier cat who now has a chance at a full life in a loving home.
