RICHARDSON, Texas — Don’t be fooled by the name: Skinny the cat is one hefty feline. And all 41 pounds of her needs a home.
A Dallas-area animal shelter has cared for the 5-year-old orange tabby since getting a call about a stray in a yard about a week ago.
Kim Chapin with Richardson Animal Services said Friday that Skinny’s “very sweet” — and the largest cat she’s seen in 21 years with the shelter.
Skinny weighs about as much as the average 4-year-old child.
