The incredible transformation of a cat who almost died under the weight of his own fur (7 photos)

Meet this Persian cat named Sinbad. The pet's previous owner, due to his advanced age, could no longer care for him properly, so the cat's fur became so matted that he could hardly move. The only thing that saved Sinbad was that he was taken to an orphanage and finally got his hair cut.

Shelter workers relieved Sinbad of 2 kg of matted wool

The critical condition of the cat was noticed by a housing service employee, and he took the poor fellow to the shelter

The previous owner could no longer care for the pet

The haircut took several hours, but Sinbad did not resist at all

Due to the matted fur and its heaviness, the cat practically did not move, so his hind legs atrophied

Now the animal receives proper care and attention

The man who initially took Sinbad in only as a foster home has already taken him home forever

The cat still loves people, even though they haven't always cared about him.
