My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Diamond:

I am a handsome guy, friendly and social with visitors and strangers.

I will need a slow intro into my new home, starting off in one room that is unoccupied and a lower-traffic space with all of my items. I should stay in the room until I am feeling 100% comfortable.

I would be like to the king of my castle and have all of the attention on myself. I would like to be the only pet in the home ,and live in an adult-only home.

I will need a close relationship with a vet. I am an overweight guy on a special diet to help me lose weight. I also received a dental while in our care and was treated for Upper Respiratory Infection. My URI is cleared, and I am ready to start writing the next chapter of my story with my adopter!

I will always need access to water! While in the adoption center it was noted that I have increased drinking and urinations. The underlying cause has not been definitively diagnosed: however I have normal kidney values with isothenuric urine (not well concentrated). There are several possible causes for this including chronic kidney disease, which is a chronic, progressive disease and is less likely at this time, diabetes insipidus or psychogenic drinking (behavioral). Psychogenic drinking is a behavioral response to stress and is uncommon in cats. Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which animals are unable to retain water and excrete excess water in their urine. There are tests that can be done under close supervision of a doctor to help differentiate these two syndromes. It is important that my adopter not restrict my water, and I should always have access to water unless otherwise instructed by your veterinarian. There may be further investigation recommended by your primary care veterinarian that is beyond what can be performed in the shelter. It is important that Diamond is provided with enough water to drink and a large enough litter box for urinations.

Adopting Diamond requires a close relationship with a veterinarian and additional testing and treatments may be recommended beyond what was performed in the shelter.
