Oswald is a very sweet boy who wants to crawl right into your lap. He is 9 years old and has the cutest big ears and a very soft, brown tabby coat. He came to HART in August after being found as a stray living in a barn. When he first arrived, he was in pretty rough shape, and our Medical Team discovered that he had severely matted fur and significant dental disease, as well as diabetes. Since receiving a dental cleaning with extractions and having the mats shaved, he is feeling much more comfortable and looking so much better! His diabetes is currently managed with a low-carb, canned food only diet (in our shelter, we feed Fancy Feast Classic Pate) and twice-daily insulin injections. We will require that his adopter has an established relationship with a veterinarian. HART's Medical Team will provide his adopters training in the care of a diabetic cat, along with a blood-glucose testing kit, a vial of insulin with related supplies, and a starter supply of canned food. In order to make these preparations, he won't be able to go home on the same day that you meet him.
Oswald’s transformation has been remarkable, and he has become a favorite among our volunteers. He is not the biggest fan of some of his feline roommates, so he would probably do best in a single cat household, where he can get all of your attention. He would love to be welcomed into your home and spoiled with all the love that he deserves! Meet this very special boy in Room 4.
