There's nothing wrong with your screen. Zeke really is as big as he looks--weighing in at a whopping 25 lbs, but he's working hard to shed some of that extra love. Though he is looking for a home where he can keep losing weight for a long and happy life, his chunkiness doesn’t stop him from being a playful, cuddly love bug. He likes string toys, lasers, and catnip toys (his favorite) and is a big fan of naps and cuddles, enjoying a good lounge on the couch or bed with you.
Zeke had a rough time before coming to PAWS, being passed from home to home and never getting the attention or care he deserved. He would do well in most households, as he's lived well with kids and other cats. Though he's also lived with dogs, he'd probably be happier in a home with no dogs or ones that are very low energy. Why not take home this big cutie!
