About Kevin
I was as shocked as the HSHC staff to find out I had diabetes! My owner surrendered me to the shelter on July 30 because he couldn't afford to care for me. He sure did provide me with plenty of grub, as I weigh 16.5 pounds! I am an 11-year-old male, black DSH, already neutered and declawed on my front paws. BTW, being hefty makes being declawed even more painful. Since being at the HSHC, I've had many tests and treatments, including insulin shots. On August 29, I moved into a fantastic foster home. My foster mom (FM) told the interviewer lady (IL) that I am the sweetest! She described me as an affectionate purr-box who enjoys napping next to you but is also content napping alone in his favorite spot on her daughter's bed. Quick movements tend to startle me. My foster housemate, Callie, scares me, but I've been a consummate gentleman towards her and her nonstop sass! I have gotten along with people of all ages. I am very fond of FM's 5-year-old, who tries to carry me and give me squeeze hugs. Due to my size, this is never easy on the youngster! Being a diabetic cat, I drink gallons of water, and I need an extra-large litter box, as I can produce puddles! The only accidents I've had have been because of a soft stool for which I was on medication. I am proud of my excellent litterbox skills. FM said that I am such a loving cat that I purr through my blood sugar level tests and never make a fuss when I get my insulin shot. FM told the IL that I am an affectionate boy who needs a little extra care, but I am worth every effort. She also said that though I may not be the sharpest tack in the box, I am gifted in knowing how to love my people. Diabetes requires a diet designed to help my blood sugar levels. The HSHC staff can provide you with the necessary information regarding my health requirements and how to assist me in a successful transition to your home. My FM has loved taking care of me, and she is confident someone will fall in love and offer me a forever home. 9-22-25

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
