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
