The Internet-Famous Cat of Szczecin

A chunky feline who once held the title of top-rated tourist attraction in a Polish city has found a comfy new life indoors. Gacek, the famous cat of Szczecin, Poland, has made big strides in his health journey since moving into a forever home.

From Street Star to Google Sensation

Earlier this year, Gacek became an internet sensation when he received over 3,005 five-star reviews on Google. This incredible rating officially made him the number one tourist attraction in Szczecin, with travelers coming from far and wide just to meet him.

Fans left glowing reviews calling him "a must-see cat" and suggesting that "if there's anything to spend your life savings on, it's flight tickets to visit mister Gacek."

A Community Favorite

Gacek started out as a stray who liked to hang out in the same spot day after day. The local shopkeepers took a liking to him and built him his very own house. They made sure he was fed and looked after his health as best they could, though helping him get healthier proved challenging.

Health Concerns Lead to Big Changes

In April this year, Gacek had an important vet visit. The doctors found he needed dental work and had a joint condition requiring medication. At 10 years old with increasing health needs, it became clear that street life was no longer the best option for this famous feline.

A Cozy Retirement

Now, Gacek has fully retired from his tourist attraction duties. He lives in a proper home with several cat siblings, getting all the care and attention a senior cat needs.

This new living situation has had a wonderful side effect - Gacek can now stick to his diet much more easily. As a result, he's become much healthier and is enjoying his well-deserved retirement in comfort.

The rotund celebrity may no longer be greeting tourists on the streets of Szczecin, but he's living his best life as a pampered house cat.
