An unidentified man was caught on CCTV leaving an animal carrier in front of an animal shelter recently
The shelter staff’s first guess was that it must be a dog, given that dogs are generally less fastidious about their grooming than cats
“We couldn’t turn him around because of the way he was shoved in the carrier”
“So we took the top off and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s a cat!’ I’ve never seen a cat in that sort of condition”
The cat was a prisoner of its own fur, barely able to move under the tangled, matted layers
“They shaved about 4.5 pounds of hair off of him. It filled a full-size kitchen trash bag”
It turned out the formerly dreadlocked cat, who the shelter cheekily named Bob Marley, was also severely overweight
The new dashingly handsome Bob was put up for adoption, and now has a loving home
As for the previous owner, some people came to defend the man that was caught on tape
However, others weren’t buying it
