Cupid

My story

  Meet Cupid, a nice chill older boy with plenty of zest for life. He's around 10ish years old, very single, and very ready to mingle. This senior diabetic fellow is looking for a forever family to help keep his health well managed, alongside enjoying all of his shenanigans. In the home Cupid is a social butterfly! He does not let his diabetes define him, either- his diabetes care is just one little piece of his robust daily routine of napping on the sofa, saying hello to visitors in the home, purring for any and all pets, poking his favorite people for attention, and at the end of the day curling up in bed with his people for sleepy time. Cupid gets twice daily insulin injections and takes them like a champ- barely notices them! He also loves eating his low-calorie diet, which helps to keep his blood sugar and weigh regulated as well. Since his blood sugar levels have been brought under control at his foster mom’s house, Cupid has really blossomed. He has become playful and youthful- acting like a youngster even though he is 10 years old! He loves to stand on the 2nd floor landing at his foster mom’s and playfully bat at people going down the stairs through the railings. His coat is smooth and sleek and his eyes are bright. When he wants attention or affection he will tap you with his paw or get up close and head-butt your face. He loves people, even strangers, and can usually be found sitting quietly in the middle of the action wherever humans are gathered. He tolerates other animals and doesn’t mind dogs except aggressive ones. Some of Cupid's favorite things are: getting brushed (when a human finishes brushing him he likes them to leave his brush on the ground so he can rub his face against it), and drinking water (he loves to have a nice big bowl of water and if his water bowl is empty he will let you know about it right away!)
