Animal Shelter's 'Fat Cat' Gets New Home, Name

POSTED: 2:33 pm PDT May 24, 2005
UPDATED: 3:35 pm PDT May 24, 2005

Sacramento's "fat cat" finally has a new home.

Romeo

The 33-pound cat was dropped off at the Sacramento County Animals Shelter a few weeks ago. Now, he has a new name and a new home.

Victoria Meyers adopted the cat, now named Romeo. He is about three times the size of an average cat, but Meyers says she's partial to his size.

"(I'm) just partial to big cats, and they're nice and keep you from being stressed. And I just love him. I just love him," Meyers said.

Even though Meyers loves the big cat, she has put it on a very strict diet for health reasons. Meyers says they're trying to get Romeo down to about 20 pounds.
