Krusty
About me
- Can I live with other cats? Potentially - While we can't confirm if Krusty has ever cohabited with another cat, he shows no signs of being disturbed by any of them in the cattery.
- Can I live with dogs? Potentially - Since we lack background information on Krusty, it would be ideal for him to live in a home without dogs. Although, he has met a staff member's Labrador and didn't seem phased by his barking. He may be able to live with a dog that has previous experience of living with a cat before, without issue.
- Can I live with teenagers? Yes
- Can I live with young children? Yes
- Do I have any medical issues? Yes - Krusty is currently on the following medications: Thyronorm: For hyperthyroidism, administered twice daily for life. Amodip Tablets: Half a tablet once daily for blood pressure, potentially a lifelong requirement. Renal Diet: To manage the early stages of kidney failure. Yumove: One tablet daily to support joint health. Furthermore, Krusty has been tested for FIV and FELV, with negative results. He was also neutered before arriving into our care.
- Can I live as an indoor cat? Potentially - Given Krusty’s medical needs, he may be better suited as an indoor cat. However, we can't say for certain if he has a strong desire to go outside, as he spent many years as a stray, roaming the streets and seeking food from different homes. For more details, please consult our Animal Welfare Staff.
Meet Krusty, our gentle old soul who’s desperately searching for a loving home.
Krusty came to us as a stray, and his story is a heart-breaking one. Time and again, we’ve heard tales of neglect from those who witnessed his suffering. Despite neighbours raising concerns and reporting his plight to the authorities, Krusty was left to roam the streets, losing weight and enduring the harshness of life alone.
After a thorough health check at the vet, we discovered that Krusty is battling Hyperthyroidism, a common condition in older cats where the thyroid glands overproduce hormones, leading to an unhealthy metabolism. At over 10 years of age, he fits the profile of those most vulnerable. He was drinking an alarming two bowls of water every night and weighed a mere 2.4kg, barely a shadow of his true self. As of the 2nd July, he now currently weighs 2.7kg.
With the right medication, we’re slowly seeing improvements, his weight is creeping up, and he’s now drinking a normal amount throughout the day 😁
Krusty has a heart full of love and an appetite for food. He dreams of being a spoilt cat, where he can indulge in his favorite meals and find comfort. This sweet boy craves cuddles, enjoys being held, and longs for a forever home to call his own.
