Diabetic cat Eddie looking for loving new home

A diabetic cat is in desperate need of a loving new home with an owner who can manage daily injections for a loving cat.

Eddie has been cared for by volunteer Joan and Ken at Cats Protection’s Bromley branch since June 2010.

Because he is diabetic, Eddie needs an owner who will be able to administer insulin injections at specific times every day and will also need regular veterinary check-ups.

Eddie is young white tabby and white male cat who is now looking someone to care for him. He takes his injections like a man, however as he is a large cat, two sets of hands to help are better than one.

Sue Cilyk of Bromley Cats Protection said: “Just like people, diabetic cats can lead normal, happy lives provided they receive the care and attention they need.

“Eddie will need an experienced owner who is willing to take on the responsibility of coping with his diabetes. In return, Eddie will make the right person a wonderful pet.”

Cats Protection, the UK’s leading feline welfare charity, operates a Diabetic Cat Register (DCR) as a helpful advice network for owners of felines with the condition.

Managing diabetes in cats can seem a daunting prospect, but the DCR contains a list of other owners who have experiences with diabetic cats and are willing to share their knowledge (non-veterinary only) on a voluntary basis.
