Granite (A138677) is a 4-year-old DMH who weighed 19 pounds on intake but is extremely overweight.
01/22/26 Granite, previously known as Margie, was surrendered back to the shelter because she is hoping to find a home where she is the only pet. Granite was said to enjoy her space and would get a little grumpy when the other pets in the home invaded it. With that being said she was said to do well with people of all ages including babies and children! She was described as super loving and affectionate with people. Granite was said to use her litterbox consistently, but does need a size-appropriate box as she is a large cat. She has lost a few pounds since last being at our facility but is still very overweight. It is important that her next home continue her weight loss and discuss with their vet the best ways to help her shed the pounds. If you are interested in meeting Granite and have no other critters in your home, please let us know!
06/17/25 This big lady is Margie! Margie arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for her new place to call home. Due to her weight issues, Margie appeared to have difficulty grooming her rear end, so she received a sani trim at the shelter. Helping her shed those pounds will immensely improve her attitude and health. We encourage her next owner to work with their vet and to bring her in for regular weight checks to track her progress. At the shelter, Margie has been a bit of a picky eater but does enjoy her wet food, which will help with weight loss. Feeding her small meals throughout the day is a great way to keep her metabolism going! Margie has used her litterbox well at the shelter but was declawed prior to arriving at our facility. Providing her with a size-appropriate litterbox and making sure she is comfortable with the litter choice is important. We do not know if Margie has experience around children or other animals. She may do best in a quieter home setting where she feels at ease. If you are interested in meeting Margie, please let us know!
