It is very difficult for stray cats to survive on the streets. But even those who have managed to adapt to such conditions rarely manage to maintain their weight and remain strong. But today we will talk about a cat that not only learned to live on the street, but also managed to put on weight. This story took place in 2007 and was called “local sensation”. A separate report was devoted to this story on television.
From the rest of the cats, Hercules stood out for his impressive size. And he used to be a pet. But it so happened that his owner had to go to a hospital in Canada. And he asked a woman he knew to look after the cat. But the cat did not like her, and he ran away from home. How was he going to get his own food? Indeed, due to excess weight, he could not catch a mouse or a bird.
One day, while wandering the streets, he saw a loophole in the garage of one of the houses. And when he got there, he saw a warehouse of dog food. Thanks to his find, he provided himself with food for six months in advance. He could have continued to feast if he had not begun to rapidly gain weight.
It got to the point that one day he got stuck in his loophole. Then, the mistress of the garage found out who had been stealing dog food from her for a long time. The woman called rescuers, who freed the cat and placed him in a shelter.
This story caught the interest of local television and they decided to make a report about it. And the owner of Hercules watched this issue. At that time, he had already returned home and wanted to find his beloved pet. Wasting no time, the man arrived at the shelter where Hercules was, providing photos of the cat as proof. Then they went home together. Despite the fact that the cat stayed in the shelter for only one night, his owner became a frequent guest, helping financially.
