Moley is absolutely fabulous, isn’t he? !  He is around 5 years old, really loves company and sitting next to you whilst watching your favourite tv programme – and there are no arguments over the remote control!

Affectionate and confident, he enjoys watching his fosterers potter around the house and will lean against them, wanting a stroke and fuss.

Moley sounds like an ideal cat companion, doesn’t he?  Yes, he is but he has been with AARU since January 2009…..

Why…. You may ask?  Dear Moley has a health issue, which is easily controlled.  He’s diabetic,  just like so many humans.  But his condition is stable, simple to treat by 2 insulin injections a day.  Do please read on….

The injections are quick and simple to give, no medical knowledge is required and either his fosterer or the vet we use would be happy to show you how to inject into the scruff of Moley’s neck. It’s  really, really easy! This is from our Adoption Welfare Officer,  ”having looked after Moley for holiday cover for his fosterers, I have injected Moley on many occasions and have no problems at all!  Moley doesn’t feel it, never looks up when you inject him and just carries on enjoying his meal. I would say, hand on heart, that Moley is the best feline  patient ever;  he understands that he is being helped and acts as good as gold.”

If you would like to offer the marvellous Moley a chance, we would consider  helping with the costs of his current medication, if there is a genuine financial need.  As a small Charity, we don’t have alot of  money but want to do everything we can to help Moley – so, if that’s what’s needed…..

Sadly, many other larger animal rescues would probably have put Moley to sleep, simply for being diabetic, but that’s not what we at AARU are about.  He’s fit and healthy, happy and loving and has a good quality life.  We’ve researched his medication online and found it cheaper than from a vet’s.  Of  course, our Adoption Welfare Officer will be happy to discuss this and all other aspects of Moley’s care with you.  We want to pull out all the stops for Moley and get him his very own home and find someone to tell him that he’s their very own sweetheart.

Why not pop over to say “Hello” to this cheerful, intelligent cat?  Have a chat with him and his fosterers and his vet. We believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this gorgeous and friendly cat.  You may wish to give his care a trial period in your home, to see how you both get on.  Please, please  give him a chance…..

Moley has been neutered and would also be fine as an indoor cat.
