Fenrir, the world’s tallest living cat, supports animal shelters and HIV patients.
The F2 Savannah cat stands 18.83 inches tall and is the “world’s tallest living domestic cat," according to Guinness World Records.
Because Powers made sure many people held him as a kitten and frequently touched his paws, Fenrir developed into a friendly cat who loves meeting new friends. He thrives in his work as a therapy cat at Powers Family Medicine, his owner's medical practice, offering stress relief to patients with HIV. As Powers shared the diagnosis, the patient kept petting Fenrir. Powers explained that he is a specialist and can treat HIV with various approaches. He assured the patient they wouldn’t get sick.“I’ve had people break down and sob and feel like their life is over, but when Fenrir’s there, it’s just a distraction from that situation for a moment,” Powers said. “It’s calming.”
Fenrir loves eating and can reach countertops, so Powers has to be careful to keep food under lock and key unless it's time for a treat.At home, Fenrir is one of six pet cats. Remarkably, he is the doctor’s fourth cat to set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records. His Maine coon, Altair, currently holds the record for “longest tail on a domestic cat living.
All six of his cats eat a blend of raw chicken, slow-cooked meats , ground-up pig bones, krill oil, feline multivitamins and other supplements.
