Diabetic cat Kurayami is looking for loving new home.

A diabetic cat is in desperate need of a loving new home with an owner who can cope with her medical condition. Kurayami has been cared for at Cats Protection’s West Lothian Branch since 2^nd April 2008. 

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

Kurayami is a beautiful black shorthaired girl aged eight years old who came into care as her previous owner could not cope with her insulin injections. She is the most loving and affectionate wee soul who is very easy to medicate. She loves to be stroked and will show her affection by headbutting you. 

Spokesperson Roz Fleming says: “Just like people, diabetic cats can lead normal, happy lives provided they receive the care and attention they need.  Kurayami will need an experienced owner who is willing to take on the responsibility of coping with her medical condition. In return, Kurayami will make the right person a wonderful pet.” 

Cats Protection 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. 

The DCR is available by contacting Cats Protection’s Helpline by email at helpline@cats.org.uk or by sending an A5 self-addressed envelope with stamps to the value of 50p to: Diabetic Cat Register (Helpline), Cats Protection, National Cat Centre, Chelwood Gate, Haywards Heath, RH17 7TT.
