Alfie

ALFIE

Alfie was rescued from a local shelter the day he was to be euthanized. He was dumped at the shelter when his human family found out that he was diabetic. Apparently they didn't want to deal with his diabetes so decided to abandon him instead.

When we met Alfie we fell instantly in love, this GORGEOUS boy is gentle, kind and loving. He loves to play with his big catnip toy and loves a human lap even more. He fit into his fosters home from the first moment he joined the other special needs kitties and made friends very quickly with quite a few other cats.

He's very polite and always lets you know with a meow that it's time for dinner or breakfast or his snack. This boy LOVES his food!

When Alfie first came to us his blood sugar was out of control, both spiking and crashing during the day. It took weeks to get him regulated and unfortunately because of both his family and then the shelter not being consistent with his insulin he developed Diabetic Neuropathy in his back legs. He could not walk more than a few paces without having to sit down.

Months of medical care, vet visits, special food and homepathic care and not only was his diabetic neuropathy gone but so was his diabetes. We were elated for him, but we were recently devastated to find out (after a recent visit to the vet because of weight loss) that he has small cell lymphoma in his intestines.

He is on Leukeron which is a chemotherapy drug which has a very high rate of remission in cats and they tolerate it very well. Other than some occasional nausea which we are treating with anti-nausea drugs he is doing well.

However, because of his severe medical needs and the bad condition he was in when he first came to us and now the cancer (the chemotherapy drug is very expensive). Alfie desperately needs a sponsor to help cover his medical bills and medications. Even a small amount helps, he's worth every penny and when you look into those trusting, soulful eyes you can only ask the question as to why his human family abandoned him in his hour of need.

Alfie thanks you from the bottom of his heart and so do we!
