<p>As people aim to stick to their New Year&#8217;s resolutions, losing weight is a popular goal that even extends to pets. Making waves on the internet lately is a chubby cat named One Frosty Too Many, or Frosty for short, who&#8217;s looking for a new home to help him slim down.</p>
<p>Richmond Animal Care and Control posted Frosty&#8217;s story on Monday, drawing attention to his hefty size—he weighs a whopping 28.5 pounds, three times more than a usual cat his size. The rescue jokingly called him the &#8220;best-bellied&#8221; cat in town and mentioned he can be a bit grumpy due to his weight. As Frosty starts his journey to slim down, they&#8217;re hoping to find him a caring home where he can live healthier.<br />

It&#8217;s not clear why Frosty is so big. Richmond Animal Care and Control found him as a stray in Virginia, and they were surprised by how heavy he was, tipping the scales at 28.5 pounds. That&#8217;s why they decided to do something about it.</p>
<p>Robin Young, an Outreach Coordinator at RACC, described Frosty&#8217;s behavior, saying that as long as Frosty can live life his way, he&#8217;s happy. Even though he&#8217;s big, Frosty can be a bit grumpy, and the shelter knows his extra weight might make him uncomfortable.</p>
<p>Knowing how crucial a good environment is for Frosty to lose weight, the shelter wanted to find a home where Frosty would have plenty of room to move and play. They mentioned that he needs to lose quite a bit of weight, but they&#8217;re hopeful he can do it with the right support.</p>
<p>Frosty&#8217;s story touched a lot of hearts and went viral, with many people loving the chubby cat and hoping he&#8217;d find a home and get healthier. Because of all the love he got online, the shelter got a lot of people asking about adopting him.</p>
<p>In some great news, the shelter said Frosty finally found a forever home! They shared a picture of the chubby but cute cat with his new owner. With his new family&#8217;s support, Frosty&#8217;s on his way to getting healthier and having a better life ahead.</p>

<p>Frosty&#8217;s story, about a big cat needing a new home to get healthy, is like another story from RACC a few months ago. In April, the shelter introduced Patches, who was called &#8220;the biggest cat ever,&#8221; weighing an impressive 40.3 pounds.</p>
<p>After Patches&#8217; story went viral, he found a great home, and his new owner has been sharing updates about his weight loss journey on Facebook. Frosty and Patches&#8217; similar stories show how much the shelter cares and how a loving home can change the lives of these big cats for the better.</p>
