My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Russell (aka Big Boy Russell or Russy). I am 8 years old, 15.31 lbs, fully vaccinated and neutered. I love being petted and being the center of attention, but I can definitely hang around other cats. Sometimes I get so excited that I might drool a little bit. I love exploring, playing, rolling around and am extremely food motivated. Sometimes I have very bad flea dermatitis so I need to stay indoors and be given flea medication regularly.

My story started over a year ago when my previous owners brought me to Texas Veterinary Hospital to be euthanized because they could no longer take care of me and I weighed 27lbs. TVH worked with me over the past year to lose weight and I am now 15lbs! TVHH and Texas Humane Heroes are working hard to help me find a new forever home who will love and support me through my weight loss journey!
