Talon is a 12-year-old Domestic Long Hair Cat in Nashville, TN, who needs $2,000 for Diabetes.

Talon is a 12-year-old male cat who, when his owner passed away, was left at the local Metro Animal Control in Nashville, TN. Talon was very sad bag of bones, extremely matted, and needed much TLC. It is guessed that due to the poor health of owner, Talon was suffering from neglect and lack of proper vet care.

Talon is a very sweet gentle kitty who is starving for attention. Although he is getting along with our other senior cats, Talon is a more only cat kind of guy since he can be a bit standoffish with the other senior kitties around, but given the opportunity, he becomes quite the cuddle-bug! With his shaved coat, he also does enjoy wearing his tee-shirts and even costumes to keep his thin frame

Talon faced several medical crises and ended up at the Blue Pearl Emergency Vet Hospital for a brief stay. He since had a new glucose monitor placed at our own vet and is closely tracked to ensure proper blood sugar levels. He takes 2 units of insulin, 2 times per day. Talon is quite the champ about his injection regimen and is responding well.

At the shelter, feeling stressed and alone, poor matted Talon had to be completely shaved which showed his poor thin body and frail condition. The shelter staff did tests, which showed that Talon has diabetes. His medical condition was beyond what animal control could provide so they reached out to local rescues to find help for this lovely and loving senior kitty.

Talon must remain on a special diet of only high protein wet food and with his mounting vet bills to monitor and treat his diabetes, We hope you help Talon recover and eventually find his furever home. Donations can be sent to Village Veterinarian in Mount Juliet, TN
