Cat Pirozhok came to the shelter as a tiny baby — less than a month old, freezing on the street. We bottle-fed him, raised him, removed a damaged eye after a street infection, and helped him adapt to a congenital ataxia that causes him to sway slightly when he walks.
But recently, Pirozhok was diagnosed with diabetes. Now, as prescribed by an endocrinologist, he needs daily insulin injections. And for these injections to be safe and precise, we must check his blood sugar levels three times a day — which requires special test strips.
Besides Pirozhok, three other diabetic cats live in the shelter, and they all need constant monitoring. The test strips run out quickly, and without them, the pets' lives are at risk.
Please, help us purchase test strips for Pirozhok and his friends! Let's ensure they receive stable treatment and a chance at a long, happy life, despite their diagnosis.
