Joey; a silver tiger striped (tabby) cat.

Adoption Palace started this conversation

This is Joey!  Joey has been with us for quite some time.  Unfortunetly, he has been unable to find the perfect and stable home that he needs.

Joey is approximately 1 1/2 years old and is a sliver tiger striped (tabby) cat.  He was found in the barn of a local farm and brought to us for assistance with an eye infection.  He was treated for an upper respiratory infection and recovered quickly.  He was adopted following his recovery into a beautiful farm home where he had free run of the barn, house and open fields!  It was a match made in heaven!

Unfortunetly, the family that adopted Joey went through some family emergencies including hospital stays and bankruptcy.  It was hard for the family to do but for the sake of keeping him cared for and healthy, they returned him to us right before Thanksgiving.

Joey started getting very ill in March of this year.  We took him to our vet who ran numerous tests on him only to find that, as far as test results showed, there was nothing wrong with him.  In only a matter of weeks, Joey had lost 8 lbs and his skin and coat condition continued to worsen.  But despite the obvioussness of his being ill, test results continue to come back negative for ailments.

Like many of our other cats and dogs, continued medical care and possible treatment are neccessary to ensure a happy and healthy life.  We have exhausted all available funds to Joey and he too could use your help!

Please open your hearts to this beautiful little boy and offer him what he otherwise may not receive.

Cindy Lou, Thank you for taking the time to post a comment!! Joey has been diagnosed with heartworms but, unfortunetly, there is no heartworm treatment available to cats. Fortunetly, on the other hand, cats are normally able to fight the heartworms off and he should be "back to normal" in another year or two. As for your assistance needed with vet bills, please check out United Animal Nations. They may be able to help you both financially as well as giving you other organizations that can help financially. Good luck and keep up the loving!

Hi, I'm also an animal lover looking for help with vet vills, so I don't have money to give at the moment, but I can offer moral support. My friend's cat was just diagnosed with diabetes after going through the same thing you are. Her cat became ill and dropped weight suddenly, and it was a long process to diagnose the problem. Has your vet looked into this possibility? It takes more than just a simple blood test to diagnose the problem correctly. My friend has to monitor the cat's blood sugar level just as if he were a person, and has switched from dry to wet cat food, since dry cat food contains too much starch, which aggravates diabetes. I may be telling you a lot of things you already know or have already checked into, but your story reminds me so much of my friend's, and we animal lovers have to stick together! All the best to you and Joey, Cindy
