He was abandoned in the basement of a hospital living on cookies and soup.

He was not abandoned, he was overfed by humans. Says so right in the article.

It’s believed that hospital staff enjoyed feeding him to the point where things went more than a little overboard.

Because cats just normally turn up in hospital basements...

Uuh yeah, when people put a cat somewhere with no way to escape, then it will probably be in that basement... If people were feeding it, then it probably wasnt "accidentally" kept there.
