Cat Transforms into Stunning Mini Lion After Removing Over 2 Pounds of Matted Fur

A cat transformed into a stunning mini lion after removing over two pounds of matted fur.

Mattie, an orange cat, was brought into York County SPCA needing a lot of help. He was so severely matted that he had to be transported in a dog crate.

The tabby was spotted outside as a stray in Hanover, Pennsylvania by a community member. “Mattie was the worst matted animal I’ve ever seen in my career. The mats were so large and heavy that it was hard to see where his actual body was,” Dr. Weekes, the York County SPCA Shelter Medical Director said.

Mattie could barely move and was understandably scared and anxious. The medical team immediately began working on him.
