Sinbad, a nine-year-old Persian cat, shocked everyone at the shelter when he arrived so matted it looked like he was dragging a carpet behind his tiny body. The poor cat could barely move, he was so constricted by his own fur.
Staff at The Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago got to work and shaved off a whopping 5 pounds of fur — Sinbad was only 7 pounds, so he was carrying nearly his own weight in fur!
After his much-needed haircut, Sinbad was a whole new cat, able to move freely again.
Thank you, rescuers, for giving Sinbad the help he so badly needed!
What’s New…
Thank you a million times for rescuing this sweetie — HOW COULD ANYONE allow for this going this far!!
i’m so glad that Sinbad was rescued and I truly hope that the owner was arrested for animal cruelty.
Was the person who surrendered him charged with animal cruelty and neglect??
What animal guardian allows this to happen? Pure an animal neglect!
YOU KNOW WHAT……EVERY TIME I SEE A MATTED DOG I THINK IT CAN’T GET ANY WORSE THAN THIS, HOWEVER, I JUST VIEWED THAT POOR BABY CAT “SINBAD”; YES THIS IS VERY BAD. POOR BABY, MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIM. NOW, IM NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE OR START AN ARGUMENT……… PMR, you should read the entire story before stating an untruth. The story is…….HIS UNCARING, STUPID, DEPLORABLE, ABUSIVE OWNER RELINQUISHED “SINBAD” to the shelter. WHAT AN ASS WIPE THIS OWNER IS.

It turns out to be VERY GOOD for Sinbad that Owner relinquished him — NOW he has a life!
Maybe this Cat was a Stray. In any case;
A Better Life to Come!
I don’t understand how that owner/owners could even sleep at night knowing how horrible that poor cat felt, or how they could just ignore it? I just don’t get some people. I pray he gets adopted into a loving home.
Nice ending,
Sorry , owner did not bother to groom his her cat and let thr fur grow so thick . Well at least she or he surrendered her or his cat. Did right thing, now the cat looks better and happier with less fur now.
Horrible owner let thr cat have much fur. Not right.
Poor. Cat. Good thing he is shaved now, must of been neglected, awful.
