Donnie - Diabetic (Oak Gove) Domestic Short Hair Oak Grove, MN

Meet Donald, aka Donnie

Donnie is a senior at about 10-12 years old and diabetic. He requires special food to be fed twice a day and insulin to be given twice a day, Purina DM and ProZinc. Donnie had full workup done when diagnosed with diabetes and everything else is good. Donnie uses the litterboxes really well, is dewormed, neutered, and Felv/FIV negative.
Donnie lives with other cats and dogs. Donnie likes to hang out on the arm of the couch, under the couch, in his cat tower, or randomly around the house on the floor-very dog like that way. Recently he has also found the center island to be nice. Makes him the center of all attention and he also does not miss any treat opportunities. He is an older guy so he does not play too much. He does like to dig in the houseplants and chewy on them so all plants must be cat safe.
Donnie will need a home that is able to commit to giving insulin twice a day and having a good pet sitter that can care for him when/if they are gone. Donnie will need yearly vet care with spot checks of his blood glucose. The blood glucose checks are something his owners can learn to do at home or take him into the clinic for. He has had a FreeStyle Libre monitoring system for 14 days. This is a great way for owners to get numbers to their vet without having to bring in their pet frequently. Donnie tolerated it very well.
Overall Donnie is a goofy older cat that is set in some of his ways but still getting into things like a kitten on occasion. He is a great buddy to hang out with, will talk back to you, and demands treats as well.

Donnie comes with insulin, needles, sharps container, and food.
