Hello from a new mama!

Hi there! My name is Armish and my sweet baby is Roo, a 9 year old domestic long hair with a penchant for meowing very loudly and getting in the all the cabinets.

He was diagnosed at the shelter in February, and I adopted him in March while they were still figuring out his treatment plan. After spending hours on this site, I have learned so so much and am very thankful for this community. I am currently home testing (actually in the middle of doing my first full curve right now), and am planning to take the results to a new cat only vet sometime soon to discuss the best way forward with insulin.

Just wanted to say hi for now, and that I look forward to getting to know more people here

Thank you from Roo and his stressed but cautiously hopeful mama!

 

Welcome!!!

 

I adopted a diabetic cat too and he’s already so much better after one month. I’m so happy others are adopting cats that are higher maintenance!

 

Welcome!

Good you already have the hang of home testing!

Looks like you are also feeding low carb food. Awesome!

You are already ahead of the game

Lots of support here.

Also thank you for adopting a special needs shelter cat
