diabetic cat needs home asap or wil be killed

[doolittleky]

I received this email from a list I belong to. Please crosspost it wherever you can. This poor cat doesn't deserve the treatment he is getting from his family. By the way the Melissa at the bottom of the email lsiting her cat is NOT me. I didn't want anyone to get confused.


Cross posting.....


First time I've heard diabetes referred to as an "issue" This poor cat deserves better than these shallow, hollowed out people. How can they use the phrase "hate to part with him" and "sweetest cat" and "we're going to kill him because he has chewed one too many cords" in the same paragraph.

I'll forward to my lists. Placing a diabetic cat will not be easy. Anybody who can help contact the e-mail address in the freecycle ad. [email protected]

If you can't take the cat please forward and crosspost to your e-lists.

Thanks for caring!

We are needing to part with our 7yr old cat. He is the sweetest cat,
but he has some issues.

This past year he has developed Diabetes, and he also has a habit of
chewing on electric cords,(we are a high tech family) when he is not
getting the attention that he wants, he is declawed, and always wants
to go out. Our family has grown, and our focus has turned elsewhere.

He needs daily insulin shots, and will need a vet apt.(has not had one
in over a year)

We hate to part with him, but he has ruined one to many electrical
cords in our home. If not adopted we will have to do the unthinkable

Please help!!! If anyone knows of a vet that will take him, or a young
couple that does not have alot of computer wires around the house
please let me know.

Thanks
Melissa

our focus has turned elsewhere.

[Mycatownsme]

I dont think ones enough.....

[Catty1]

I hope if they are old and ill that their kids' 'focus will turn elsewhere'.

Is there a diabetic cat rescue around or anything?

I hope this baby finds a home!

[kittycats_delight]

Some people are such morons. God they really can make a person sick. Gee people did it ever occur to you that his 'issues' are from being declawed? And he wants out all the time to get the heck away from you? And how about trying some bitter apple on those cords or cord covers. Some people just don't want to bother. It's always the quick and easy route. Isn't it just so nice to see the love they have for this poor kitty after 7 years. I hope to God someone saves him and gives him the home he deserves.

Is it possible to tell them that all they need to do is cover every wire in the house(Like we had to do because of 3 of my cats).
They sell them at home depot and Lowes.They are called "flex tubing."

Maybe that will help their decision better.It only takes a few days to do.It's very easy to cover the wires.

It's worth telling them about the Flex Tubing!It's very easy to do!


I just emailed them to tell them.I offered to send pictures also if they are interested.

[CultureJunky]

Catfamily, you are so right! Why haven't they done this. All you buy is the tubing then thread the wires through and they're protected. You can also get 'cabel tidies' that put them all together in one bunch and are protected so they're not hanging out everywhere.

I think it's the diabetes issue, they obviously are not willing to have a cat with a medical problem, so they don't deserve him anyway.

People really feck me off when they get small problems with their pets and they just think I'll get rid of it.

Everyday my faith in humans diminishes greatly.

They're using diabetes as an excuse. The phrase "our focus has turned elsewhere" says it all. Even if they do take the necessary precautions re the wires, etc., this cat needs to be rehomed. They obviously do not care about him, sweet thing. They're going to be old and/or sick one day. Maybe their kids will have the same attitude towards them that they have towards their cat.

Blessings,
Mary

I've never had a diabetic cat; but I doubt it is proper to not see the vet in over a year!!!! Kitty will be better in a home that cares; here's hoping he lands in one, and soon.

[elizabethann]

Where is the diabetic cat located?

[Anikaca77]

Yeah where is this cat located at??

[smokey the elder]

Maybe you can crosspost this to www.felinediabetes.com. They may be able to help you.

[Anikaca77]

I emailed her to see if she can give me more information. So far I haven't heard anything.

[doolittleky]

All I know ios what is in the email. i am assuming it is located in or near kansas city misssouri since that was the rescue that posted it.

[catfamily]

She or he never emailed me back.What's with these people who don't reply to people who are being nice and offering advice.
