Introducing Sinbad, the Persian cat who was discovered with 5 pounds of tangled fur. Sinbad was brought to The Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago after a concerned utility worker spotted him in the home of an elderly man who was unable to properly care for himself, let alone his cat. When Sinbad’s furry coat was finally shaved off, it was revealed that the matting weighed more than half of his total body weight! Despite his hind legs being weakened from lack of movement, Sinbad remained resilient.
The grooming process was intense and lengthy, but Sinbad displayed remarkable patience and sweetness throughout. He required force-feeding initially to support his digestive system and prevent kidney damage. The man who initially fostered Sinbad eventually decided to adopt him, providing the TLC and attention the deserving kitty needed.
“I’m just amazed by his unwavering love for people, despite his past mistreatment,” shared Elliott from The Anti-Cruelty Society. Sinbad’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and forgiveness that animals can exhibit, even in the face of neglect.
Sinbad found his way to our shelter when a kind utility worker noticed him hanging out at the house of an elderly man.
Sinbad’s appearance showed that the man struggles to take care of himself effectively.
After the fluffy coat was trimmed, it was discovered that it actually added up to over half of the cat’s total body weight.
Sadly, the kitty’s hind legs wasted away from lack of use.
“At this point, he is receiving plenty of tender loving care and being showered with attention… I am truly amazed by how much he adores being around people…”
Despite facing mistreatment from others, he remains resilient. This is a valuable lesson that everyone can benefit from.
