Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gideon is a very talkative and social fella. He loves his wet food dinners and hanging out in your lap. Gideon has done great on first meeting with all most all cats and dogs. He didn’t seem to like a couple of foster kittens rubbing all over him they got hissed at but no other reaction to others, he greets them with a sniff on the noise. He can be very chatty when he’s wanting a snack. He was said to have come in the shelter as a stray, but he is too well mannered a boy to have been a stray. Definitely comfortable being in a home and around other animals. Gideon came to us in poor condition, rough oily coat and under weight could feel his back bone. We did bloodwork and discovered he was diabetic. Our vet said he was a good candidate for Bexacat the daily pill. We also have him on a lower carbohydrate food. He gets a can of pate twice a day, on top of bis breakfast i put his pill and watch to ensure he eats it. He also has dry food available to snack on as needed throughout the day. He has done well on it and agreed by vet he is ready for adoption. He has gained weight and his coat is coming in beautifully. His adopted family should be familiar with the diabetes symptoms and what to look for as warning signs in need of veterinary visits/treatment. Would also be beneficial if comfortable with being able to check ketones and blood sugar at home. Bexacat currently costs about $100 per month, and should plan on $80-$100 food expense as well. Need also be prepared to have some vet expenses to ensure monitoring his health. Estimated DOB: 10/15/2014 Adoption fee: $90.00 (6% KY sales tax included) We would love to hear from you!
