I have two 4 year old male cats. Tux and Felix.
Tux has always been the more aloof and laid back of the two. He lost 9 pounds in three months and was diagnosed with diabetes about six months ago. We took him into the vet and they created a feeding plan and provided instructions medications and what not. We fed him fancy feast wet food but it majorly gave him the runs. they then said to add small amounts of dry food and pumpkin to his diet.
He hasn't gained weight at his last check up a month ago. He has his next one tomorrow.
He has become a complete scavenger. He is constantly searching for food even though I know he isn't hungry he just feels like he's starving.
Things have unfortunately taken an awful turn for the worse and my brother has decided it is time to get rid of them.
He has decided that if things at Tux's next visit aren't okay then he is going to talk to the vet about options including putting him down right there.
He is also taking Felix to the humane society because of an event that happened..which ultimately lead to this decision.
I have spoken to the humane society multiple times and they are EXTREMELY low kill and have a low volume of cats so the chance of Felix having a happy life once again is likely. Which leaves me content to know that the sad chapter that is before him will make it worth while. He is 3/4 Maine coon and the most docile loving sweet bear cat you have ever seen. That being said he has no idea what it is like to not have his brother with him. I hope he isn't 'sad'.
We are in the middle TN area. I am begging if anyone knows a foster that could take Tux IMMEDIATELY. He won't love you to the ends of the earth, but he is a sweet, sweet soul.
