Diabetes, missing teeth, fragile health: Quincy is facing one hardship after another!

1. He has lost all his teeth due to a calicivirus!

Quincy, a seven-year-old cat, carries the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This weakens his immunity, making him susceptible to catching a calicivirus.

To ease his discomfort, we had to extract almost all of his teeth (all that remains are his canines). Despite this, his gums are still very inflamed, and he has difficulty eating. So, we occasionally give him cortisone injections to help him out.

2. He is diabetic…

A few months ago, Quincy started to drink excessively, which is abnormal behaviour. We had a blood test done, which revealed that he is diabetic. As a result, he now receives insulin treatment twice a day, morning and night.

3. Blankets would keep him warm this winter

A set of blankets could provide Quincy with essential thermal comfort. This is particularly important for a cat battling multiple health issues. It would allow him to rest better and conserve his strength, particularly during cold and wet conditions.

4. A typhus outbreak has caused major disruption!

This year, we have had to deal with a typhus outbreak, which has disrupted our operations. We had to temporarily halt our work and spend a lot of money replacing contaminated equipment!

With around fifty cats in foster care and the same number of free-roaming cats spread across various sites, resources really are stretched thin…
