2024 update: Beanie had a very loving foster home for the last few years of his life. Finally we could not keep his diabetes stable and combined with his kidney disease, we finally had to say goodbye to this very sweet old gentleman. He leaves us with wonderful memories and his foster mom misses him a lot. She is now helping another diabetic cat, Tequila, who is on a very small dose of insulin and we hope has many years ahead.

Dec 2020 Update:
Beanie is now in a long term senior foster home and enjoying once again having a home of his own.
Beanie is diabetic and we are in the process of getting a stable dose of insulin for him. He has gone from 1 unit twice a day to just over 1.5 units twice a day. He is on DM food and doing well. We need to continue to test him and find a dose where he can have his numbers in the normal zone. This is a slow process and when this is complete he will need a great home where they are very experienced with diabetic cats. In the past he was with one other cat – a female. Here he is not around other cats. He is a very mellow guy and can be picked up but is not fond of it. He is not a lap cat. However, he is a very friendly and laidback buy who likes petting and brushing. At the vet he was very stressed and not easy to handle – as he probably had not had many changes in his life. We hope sometime this summer he will be ready for a great home. He is a neutered male probably around 8 to 10 but not sure. We love Beanie and hope he later gets the home he dreams of and deserves. He had a great home in the past, but unfortunately due to his owner’s own medical condition he was unable to provide the care needed and wants Beanie to have a good life.
