Turkish Angora kittens & cats in Riverton, Utah

MEET BASIL This boy has an incredible story. After being abandoned in a park, he was rescued by a kind lady who sought our help. Basil faced significant challenges upon discovery; not only was he declawed on all four paws, but his diet and health were also neglected, leading to diabetes and severe pain. Though we couldn't initially take in another diabetic cat, we committed to supporting Basil's medical needs and providing guidance. Under the dedicated care of his foster family, Basil's journey has been a roller coaster. We began by stabilizing his diabetes and addressing his discomfort. Surgery to repair his paws followed, relieving his pain and improving mobility. Subsequently, he underwent dental surgery, during which our vet noted promising signs of remission due to low blood sugar levels. Thanks to his foster family's dedication to a canned food diet and vigilant monitoring, Basil is now in remission. He no longer requires insulin, showcasing the transformative power of addressing chronic infections, pain, and diet in feline diabetes. Basil is now ready for adoption! He thrives on a canned food diet, particularly enjoying Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken and Fancy Feast. Basil loves to talk and is very affectionate. While he may need time to adjust to other cats, he would do best in a household where he can receive patient and understanding care. He must be kept indoors and does not get along with dogs. While he may not prefer homes with young children, older children who understand cats well could be a good fit. Despite his sassy demeanor, we are confident Basil will flourish as someone's cherished companion. To apply for this handsome boy go to whiskersutah.org
