JACK – 24580
Safe - 4-7-2018 Brooklyn
SAFE 4/7/18 DIABETIC!! Jack is a 9 year old gray and white neutered male cat who was surrendered by his owner due to the fact she can no longer care for him. The owner stated that she got Jack from a relative when he was 8 weeks old. ack is a diabetic kitty who’s unfortunately not feeling his best self right now. The vet is starting him on insulin which should hopefully help him perk up and be more comfortable. He’s stable for now but will need ongoing care for his diabetes. Though he’s not at his most energetic right now, he allowed all handling without any resistance during intake and his medical exam. He should leave ASAP so he can get the follow up care he needs and find a loving forever home.
