VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Officials from the Humane Society of Southwest Washington said Wednesday they are looking for the owners of a 31-pound cat.

They said he was dropped off at their facility on Saturday and they're hoping someone may know who he belongs to. They said since the cat was dropped off, workers have been taking care of it and he's even lost a little weight.

The overweight feline doesn't have a name, weighs 31 pounds, and workers said he's a friendly and sweet guy who just needs a little bit of a diet.

But other than his weight he has few health problems, workers said.

They hope someone will recognize the stray who was found near the Southeast 13th area of Vancouver. But they aren't sure exactly how long he's been without a home

Because of the cat's large size, workers said he's enjoying a little extra space since he can't comfortably fit in a kennel.

"Because he's so large, his large stature, it makes it very uncomfortable for him to be in a regular kennel situation, because the kennel is essentially too small," said Kate Goudshaal of the Humane Society of Southwest Washington.

Workers at the humane society said they plan to hold onto the fat cat for a few more days to see if his owner comes forward. But if not, then they said they'll put him up for adoption.

They said if he is adopted, his new home would have to keep him on a strict diet and give him lots of exercise.
