Redski's Story
Red as we mostly
called him was a red and white medium long haired Tabby. He was very
beautiful and affectionate. Red loved going for rides in the car and enjoyed
the view from the windows. He had been abandoned, when his owner
was put into a nursing home by her children. After Red was neutered,
he developed frequent bladder infections and it took 2 years and 3 |

to figure out that he was diabetic. He was our first insulin
dependant animal but he was such a good sport, he never complained about
his shots, which he had to endure twice a day. Red lived for over
five years with insulin and then suddenly he kept going into comas.
He was taken off insulin because his blood sugar was now way too low instead
of too high. After several emergencies, he could no longer be stabilized, he kept
loosing consciousness. He only outlived his friend James by 1
year. James had reached the ripe old age of 23 before he succumbed o
thyroid cancer, but Redski followed
him at only 8 years of age.
