‘PURRFECT’ CAT ADVICE

As a veterinarian, I have always cringed on the inside when a pet owner would bring in a cat saying the cat was “living at the water bowl” or “constantly drinking out of the toilet”. While this could mean a number of things, I knew that is was highly likely that this cat could be diabetic. UGGGH! I despised treating diabetes. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the cat and adored its owners, but I despised the disease because it was very difficult to manage, frustrating for the owner, and hard on the poor cat. I used to think to myself “I, personally, would rather my cat have cancer than diabetes because I could treat that easier.” Now, not all vets think this way. I am just talking about myself and my personal experience.

Now the GOOD NEWS! I no longer cringe at the thought of having to tell someone that their beloved Kitty has diabetes. We have come a long way in treating diabetes and now have the ability to get some patients in remission. It is an exciting time!! Let me give you an overview of the disease and how therapy has changed. There are fewer reasons to fear this awful disease.

Diabetes is an endocrine disorder caused either by the pancreas not producing sufficient amounts of insulin (Type 1) or the pancreas not responding to blood glucose levels and therefore not releasing insulin properly (Type 2). While dogs primarily suffer from Type 1 diabetes, our feline friends acquire Type 2 diabetes. Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas and its role is to take glucose from the bloodstream (which comes from a meal) and drive that glucose into cells and tissues, thus “feeding” the body and its internal organs. Without insulin, glucose is trapped in the bloodstream and the body begins to “starve” and starts breaking down muscle and fat to feed itself. The glucose levels in the bloodstream can get dangerously high causing hyperglycemia and the kidneys start to dump this extra glucose into the cat’s urine causing glucosuria.

Signs that an owner will typically see at home are the result of the disease process. Excess urination comes from the glucosuria ~ the excess glucose draws more water into the urine so the cat is urinating more (huge amounts in the litter box) which in turn creates excess thirst (living at the water bowl). And because the body is “starving” weight loss is inevitable as the body begins to break down muscle and fat. A lot of times, the cat’s appetite will actually increase at the same time as that weight is lost. The typical diabetic patient ~ obese cat that comes in having lost 5 pounds while continuing to eat normally and is now drinking and urinating excessively.

Diagnosis is fairly easy. High blood glucose levels and glucose in the urine are the hallmarks of diabetes. Other diseases need to be ruled out and any concurrent problems, such as a urinary tract infection (common with diabetes), need to be treated. Other illnesses or infections make it very difficult to regulate a cat’s blood sugar and can be very frustrating for the owner and the cat. Diabetes is a disease not cured, but managed, similar to diabetes in humans.

The goal of therapy is to minimize the clinical signs at home by lowering the blood glucose level. A “regulated” diabetic cat, as we put it, is a cat that is not drinking and urinating excessively, gaining or maintaining weight, and is happy and feeling good at home. That is achieved through the use of insulin injections given at home and a proper diet. While injections can be intimidating for some owners, cats tend to tolerate them very well. At home glucose monitoring is available but your veterinarian will be key in determining the proper dose of insulin for your pet. Thanks to lots of research and the better understanding of this disease process, we have been more successful in treating diabetic cats and even achieving remission with many patients. Better insulins have been manufactured and require a very low dose. A high protein diet naturally helps the body to control its blood glucose levels. Getting the glucose levels back down to a normal range doesn’t seem to take as long as it used to. A proper diabetic diet has become the key to achieving remission! Many cats can be weaned off insulin and maintained on diet alone!

The diagnosis of “diabetes” is not nearly as frustrating as it used to be. Regulation is quicker and many cats can stay regulated on low doses of insulin and some on diet alone. While not all cases are the same and some remain very difficult, it is very exciting to see success rates in treatment rising. I no longer feel deep sadness for the cat and owner and I no longer cringe at the thought of maybe having my own diabetic cat one day, because I know this is a more manageable disease than it ever was. Remember the goal of treatment? A cat that is not drinking and urinating excessively, is eating well and maintaining a healthy weight, and is HAPPY at home. I am so glad more diabetic cats are now achieving that!

Why Foster??

• Fostering an animal is an immensely rewarding experience and a lifeline for an animal whose future is uncertain through no fault of his or her own.

• Opening your home and heart to a foster cat requires a true commitment to the health and happiness of an animal.

• Fostering saves millions of cats’ and dogs’ lives each year.

• Fostering gives one-on-one attention to orphans and animals with trust issues that shelters otherwise would have to euthanize immediately.

• Fostering allows cats to live in a home environment and become accustomed to typical sights, sounds and smells rather than being confined to a cage.

• Fostering gives you an opportunity to really get to know a cat before you make a long-term commitment.

• Fostering allows the foster parents to get to know the cat on a personal level and evaluate its’ personality traits and preferences, giving potential adopters a better idea about the cat it is adopting, helping to ensure a good fit into the new household.

• Fostering helps socialize shy cats.• Fostering allows you to contribute what is needed

most: LOVE!

What to Consider Before Fostering

• Can I afford the additional cost?• Am I prepared mentally and physically?• Is my family on board?• How will this affect the animals currently in my home?

Long-Term/Open Ended Foster Long term (open ended) fosters are those animals who are not immediately "adoptable." A mother cat with a newborn litter of kittens, for example, would require at least three months in foster care for all animals to be adopted out. Kittens who are too young for adoption or not yet properly socialized usually require a month or two in foster care before they can be placed. Sometimes an animal may have a temporary medical condition (recovering from surgery or poor condition due to past neglect) in which case, fostering is needed until the animal recovers or gains full health and vitality.

Then there are those who may consider fostering an elderly animal...providing a calm, loving home to those who just need a quiet and safe place to lay their head. Cats that because of their age or medical conditions, are not sought after and will remain in rescue for the rest of their lives. 

What is Short-Term Foster Short term fosters are for those animals who are immediately adoptable and/or highly "desirable." Examples of these are kittens and young, purebred or declawed cats. Foster care of these animals is usually less than a month.

What We Provide

Forgotten Felines provides spaying or neutering, testing, and vaccinations.

What You Provide

• Foster homes are responsible for providing a loving home, quality food, fresh water, healthy treats, and safe toys for the cat/kittens; if the foster is a family, the whole family must be dedicated to these goals.

• Socialization and exposure to people, other types of animals...introductions to new sounds, loud sounds, everyday noises, smells and sights. To help nurture and develop the qualities that adopters want in a pet.

• Exercise and play time; attention and affection; grooming. Helping the animals get used to being handled and picked up.

• The foster must be willing to put the time and effort into the care and rehabilitation of the cat. Sometimes these animals come from bad or abusive environments, and need to understand how to love again! Sometimes they need to be re-trained to use a litter box…or even eat without feeling threatened.

• Administering medicines to animals recovering from surgery, illness or injury.

• If necessary, having the space to provide a “quarantine” area to protect existing animals in the home from the foster cat; patiently making introductions between all animals.

Fostering is not always an easy job,Fostering can be exhausting, Fostering is often challenging,

Fostering costs money,It can be painful to let go/adopt out a foster cat.....

BUT, fostering can be THE MOST rewarding and fulfilling thing a true cat lover will ever do!

Frequently Asked Questions: Fostering

Would you consider being a long-term foster for a cat like Brady...a 2 year old

cat, FIV+ who was trapped from a horrible situation as a feral; since his “capture” he has blossomed into a loving and affectionate boy. All he

wants is to be loved and adored...a safe place to lay his head at night. We have

many cats, just like Brady who just need someone to care...are you that

person?

Special Donation Requests

*Pictures Courtesy of Christy

Forgotten Felines received this email on Monday, October 17th...we were able to raise the money needed to help this kitten in less than 5 hours...THANK YOU to all who donated!!

"I would like to try to get some information concerning a stray kitten with broken leg. Last night I had a stray kitten, @3-6 months old come around. I took some food out to feed it. I do not know if it is male or female at this point.

As I watched it eating I noticed it's left back leg did not look "right"; the more I looked I realized it was definitely broken. This is not a fresh break but still not completely healed. You can tell that the bone was completely broken and at one time protruding out of the skin (this has healed and is not an open wound). The back foot is just dangling. At this time the kitty does not trust me enough for me to be able to catch it. It does not seem to be in any pain or discomfort and does not show any signs of any infection.

I called my Vet; talked to an assistant. We discussed the following options:(1) Amputation (with antibiotics); (2) Euthanasia; (3) Leaving it alone and letting the kitten learn to live with the disability.

I have a dog and cat of my own so being able to bring it inside and care for it is not an option at this point (plus I would have to get it examined, tested, shots, and eventually spayed or neutered-etc).

I am a HUGE pet lover and would love to be able to take care of all of this; but with my personal financial status this would be really hard unless I have some kind of help or am able to set up some kind of payment plan.

I have tried to contact a few other places but have not received any answers yet. Please let me know if you are able to help or if you can point me in the right direction to help this sweet soul.Thank you, C~"

Update: Monday 10/24/11

It is a GIRL!! No name yet...I think I heard Sophie being tossed about though...we will see.

She went to the vet on Saturday for an evaluation. She is guesstimated to be between 1-2 years old; tested negative for FIV and Leukemia. She spend her weekend at the vet, so they could manage her pain and get her ready for surgery.

She is being spayed today and they are amputating the leg too. The vet and her staff are completely taken by this precious girl. No one can get over the fact that she is a sweet, loving kitty all while being in excruciating pain. 

Update: Monday 10/25/11

Surgery and spay went well. She was NOT pregnant and is now spayed.

Update: Monday 10/31/11

“Tripod” has been adopted into a wonderful home with several other feline companions. We will update everyone in the next newsletter (January 2012) with her full story and how things are progressing.
