Feline Diabetes

Echo

Echo is a sweet loving 9 year old true lap cat. He also has diabetes. I give him insulin shots twice a day and test his blood sugar on a regular basis to ensure he is getting the right dosage. I originally went to the Humane Society to adopt a kitten and was amazed at how many older cats there were. I knew the kittens would get adopted so I looked around and saw a few that I liked (including Echo). Then after talking to one of the volunteers there I looked at the cats on the "wall of nine lives" which had selected cats who had done their time behind bars and again there was Echo. Most of these cats were on this wall for one reason or another but I wanted to meet Echo so we were taken into a visiting room and it was instant love for both of us. At the time I knew nothing about diabetes and after adopting him I took a crash course. Now the Humane Society has taken on two more diabetic cats because they had such success with Echo.

And if you'd like to give a home to a sugarkitty or other special needs kitty then take a look at them here http://www.oregonhumane.org/specialneeds/cats.asp . These cats deserve a furrrever home.
