Melon is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Melon is a 3-year-old, 32-pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Brown Tabby coat.

That’s not a miss-print. Melon weighs 32 pounds. Even though he’s a naturally large cat, that’s still twice as much as he should weigh.

His family was no longer able to care for him, so they surrendered Melon to Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He had his medical and behavior exams, then started a diet and exercise plan to help him lose weight and get down to a much healthier 15 pounds.

Melon loves attention. When the animal care attendants make “kissy noises,” Melon strolls over, then leans in, purring. He loves it when people pet him and rub his tummy. He seems to like kids and other cats.

The $100 adoption fee for Melon includes medical exams, neuter, vaccinations, and microchip.
