My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gazpacho is a 14 year old Senior diabetic boy. He's currently doing very well off-site in his foster home. Special notes from his foster: Gazpacho is super friendly and kind of quirky, starting with his crooked mustache markings. He loves and anticipates his routine, which is pretty laid back. He resides in his bed in the sunny window, generally just waiting for an opportunity to eat or to get brushed and petted. He's always polite while introducing himself to the various cats and dogs that pass by, whether or not they reciprocate. Gazpacho loves to chit chat and makes a number of adorable noises to express himself.

Being elderly and diabetic, there are some challenges. His litterbox needs to be cleaned frequently, as he urinates A LOT. Upside is that he's very neat; always uses the box, but tracks litter everywhere if I'm not keeping up. Gazpacho still gets around well for his age; he doesn't jump, but uses steps and ledges to get up to his perches.

Gazpacho needs to be maintained on a prescription diet. He is currently on insulin and may need more veterinary management for his chronic diabetes at any time.

Gazpacho has lost most/all of his teeth and needs help maintaining his beautiful, silky coat. He loves being held, brushed and cuddled though, so grooming is just more awesome bonding time.

Please submit an inquiry form if you are interested in meeting Gazpacho and staff will contact you to arrange. He is considered a hospice cat. Thank you for considering this sweet, handsome fellow!
