Tank is a very handsome and laid-back, 16-year-old tabby gentleman who came from a very loving home. He developed diabetes, and when his previous family determined that they could no longer provide the care he needed, they made the difficult decision to surrender him to HART. We can see how much he was loved because of how relaxed he is around our staff, volunteers, and visitors alike. He loves to be held, and will occasionally let you hold him like a baby. He also enjoys playtime --especially with string toys -- and moves much more quickly than you might expect him to. When he sees you coming, his eyes light up as he waits to receive some loving.
Tank has been doing very well and is relaxed around humans and his feline roommates. He is overweight, tipping the scales at 17 pounds, and we recommend that he loose some weight. His diabetes is being well-managed with a low-carb, canned food only diet (in our shelter, we feed Fancy Feast Classic Pate), and he currently does not require insulin injections. We will require that his adopter have a well-established relationship with a veterinarian, because we are committed to the health and happiness of Tank and his new guardians even after they leave our shelter. HART's Medical Team will provide his adopters training in the care of a diabetic cat, along with a blood-glucose testing kit and related supplies as needed. And, thanks to a very generous supporter, we will also provide you with $100 in food. In order to make these preparations, he won't be able to go home on the same day that you meet him.
Tank currently lives at the shelter. He will be a wonderful kitty companion for his lucky adopter! Please submit an application and come meet Tank today.
