Could you give Fonzy the loving home he deserves?
Fonzy is an eight-year-old moggy who’s in need of a permanent home or foster carer to provide the care and affection he needs.
The cat has diabetes, which means he requires regular blood sugar checks and a special feeding schedule.
He originally arrived at the RSPCA Essex South branch seven months ago as a stray, then was rehomed after a few months. His new owners brought him back five months later as they weren’t able to look after the cat when he became sick. Poor Fonzy.
Now, he really needs a proper home where he can settle in and learn to trust again.
Despite his bad times recently, he’s a very sweet and friendly cat who just wants to be loved.
He’ll need to be an indoor cat (so don’t panic if you’re renting somewhere without a cat flap) but can happily live with another cat if needed.
All that’s required from his owners is understanding and a commitment to caring for a cat with diabetes – which RSPCA vets will help with.
Oh, and he loves naps. We just wanted to mention that as a relatable selling point.
Bonnie Boddie, trustee and animal coordinator at the branch, said: ‘We’re urgently looking for a foster or permanent home for Fonzy.
‘He is a delightful little chap who was returned to us as he had become unwell with diabetes.
‘He will need a special home as he requires his bloods measuring regularly whilst we get his insulin levels correct and feeding at appropriate times for a diabetic cat.
‘Our vets can advise and support with this and they report that Fonzy is so sweet and does not make a fuss about his blood checks or insulin injections.’
If you could adopt Fonzy and give him the care he deserves, email dogs@rspcaessxsouth.org.uk (yes, dogs. We checked. No, Fonzy is not a dog) or call 07749175023 and leave a message with your name and contact details.
