Animal lovers can now follow the heartwarming tale of Tanglewood, a hefty feline weighing 26 pounds who is on the road to recovery thanks to the care provided by Austin Pets Alive, an animal shelter in Austin, Texas. Tanglewood was in rough shape when he was brought to the shelter, suffering from neurological symptoms, a broken leg, and seizures. The shelter’s team is now focused on his care, monitoring him closely, and working towards getting him on a weight loss plan to help improve his health.
Tanglewood, who should ideally weigh between 8 to 10 pounds, according to the ASPCA, was adopted eight months ago but was returned to the shelter due to his health issues. Obesity is a common problem in pets and can have detrimental effects on their health, including an increased risk of diabetes, liver problems, and joint pain.
The shelter is currently providing foster care for Tanglewood and is looking for a dedicated adopter who can ensure that he sticks to his new diet plan. The team at Austin Pets Alive is committed to helping Tanglewood find a loving and permanent home where he can continue his journey to better health.
