Leo the Lion Declawed - Special Cat Look at Leo's beautiful new photo! LEO the beautiful cat came to Castaway Critters as a stray in Harrisburg in the worst condition we have ever seen a cat. He was one big matted mess. His orange coat was so drenched in urine, feces and matted hair that he could not sit or lay down. He was also very ill with diabetic symptoms. Once in our control our great volunteers took him to Colonial Park Animal Clinic for an emergency shave down, vaccination, lab work and exam. Over the course of time, Leo blossomed and was the best cat ever. He was adopted to a lovely lady whose updates are below: It has been a month and a half since Leo has been off of insulin all together and his BG is stable at 84 and he's feeling fantastic if I do say so myself. He's still at 16 pounds, loves to eat and even plays a little. He sits with me and sleeps with me and even did well when I visited my parents in Virginia earlier in December. He is still eating the Wellness CORE wet food and occasionally the dry food as well. He's great with the litter box and the crushed walnut shells from Blue Buffalo that I use. Thanks again. Take care! |
