Canton Animal Shelter Pet of the Week: April 27, 2012

Won't you please help little Kane?

Kane was found outside on March 26, 2012, cold and alone. He was covered in ticks and very thin.

Kane was cleaned up and put on a good diet but it was clear from the start that there was something more going on with him.

It was wrongly assumed that he was an older cat judging by his appearance. After a trip to the Canton Veterinary Hospital it was learned that Kane is only 2- years-old and that he has diabetes.

Kane may have been dumped by his owner because he was sick. This is a heartbreaking reality for some animals who require extra care.

Until the Canton Animal Shelter can find that special person, it is seeking donations towards his care. The vet would like him to be put on insulin which can be costly.
