A study in abstract black and white, Miller is a true beauty. This 7-year-old sweetie has been in the care of the Atlanta Humane Society since August and can’t wait to find his forever home.

He’s a special kitty who will require a special owner because he’s diabetic. Miller is currently living with a foster parent who has experience with diabetic cats. He receives insulin shots each day but is great about receiving them. The vet hopes that with a few months of treatment, Miller will be able to go off on insulin, but in the meantime, he’s taking his injections like a pro!

Miller loves his snacks, he’s litterbox trained and he has lived with other cats before. He’s a super sweet cuddle bug who can’t pass up the chance to be held and is often caught putting his paw out for attention. You can learn more about Miller and see his adoption video at atlantahumane.org/miller.
