Kay Ford is determined to help Patches lose weight, despite the challenges that lie ahead. Patches' previous owners had given him too many treats, resulting in his excessive weight gain. Fortunately, Patches had previously been under the care of a veterinarian, and his records will be shared with his new doctor. Convincing Patches to exercise won't be easy, but small steps will make a difference. Although Patches can walk, he prefers to do it at his own pace and needs some encouragement to get moving. Surprisingly, Patches isn't a big eater, and for now, Kay is ensuring that he eats regularly.

After settling into his new home, Patches is expected to have many exciting experiences in the future. To track his journey towards weight loss and all his adventures, Kay Ford established a Facebook page that has already garnered over 5,000 followers in just one week. Looking forward, her primary focus is on supporting Patches as he transitions towards a healthier lifestyle and anticipating the possibilities that lie ahead. Kay observes that Patches seems uneasy but sees the potential for a dynamic, lively personality to emerge once he loses the extra weight.
