A beautiful orange Angora named Hannah was taken in at Clinton Veterinary Hospital in Clinton, Mass by a technician that knew she still had much love to give. She was a diabetic diagnosed shortly after her owner of 13 years passed and cared for by a family friend. Her diabetes proved to be difficult for the owner to control and was seeking help. The options were to euthanize or surrender to the hospital on a whim knowing she was not ready to say goodbye.
Two months after being surrendered, Hannah was in diabetic remission and no longer required insulin on a daily basis. She continued her days on the ack porch enjoying the warm sun and dinnertime with her adopted Persian brothers, Moby and Dilly. She was a fighter until the end. On August 29, 2022, we said goodbye to Hannah and she gave every fighting chance she had. No matter what, she wanted to keep going.
Hannah is our hero and encouragement to know that many, if not all, senior kitties deserve every chance to continue sharing their love and companionship. Let Hannah be the reason to help allow our senior feline friends to remain on this earth as long as they were intended.
Sakura is a senior kitty that was presented to be euthanized in March of 2021 due to her
back legs being paralyzed. However, she was bright, alert, vocal, purring and was owner surrendered. After blood work and X-rays. She was shown to be a diabetic and constipated kitty.
With proper care and medication, she regained use of her back legs, with Diabetic Neuropathy setting in, they will never be fully returned to normal, but with diet, proper insulin dosages, and constipation meds, she is still going strong living a spoiled kitty life.
Was owner surrendered in 2019, with severe obesity and diabetes at the age of 9 years old. The entire staff at CVH (workplace of Amanda and Kerry) fell in love with him, and now he resides there as the perfect Cat Ambassador. He has slimmed down and his diabetes is currently in remission!
Starfish is a sweet, old, diabetic kitty, who keeps her owner company. They have both helped each other out through difficult health challenges, and her owner is still working after retirement. Diabetic care can be very costly, so we are honored to help out such a sweet duo enjoy their senior years with each other!
