Nine Lives of Norton

Pirate is one of our "special needs" cats.  He is a

handsome 11 month old kitten.  Pirate was diagnosed a

few months ago as diabetic, which is rare in a cat so

young.  He is now on a special diet, and his glucose

levels checked daily.  It has taken some time to get

Pirate's glucose levels in the proper range.  This week,

Pirate had another health challenge.  Pirate was found 

to have a bad kidney infection.  This landed Pirate in

the hospital for 5 days.  Four of those days Pirate was

in the ICU.  Pirate is now back in his foster

home resting, and playing.  His sugar level has

improved and his energy level is back up.  Here is a

video of Pirate while he was in the hospital.

Pirate's hospital bill was just under $2000.00.  We are

currently looking for sponsors to help pay Pirate's bill. 

If you would like to help sponsor Pirate, donations

can be sent to the shelter at:
