    Hello everyone my name is Mandy and me and my family just took in Taco to be another one of our forever fur babies. I did have Sushi who was also diabetic but with a broken heart I tell you that we had to let him go the afternoon after we picked Taco up from the Airport. Really makes me feel that Taco was more than meant to be. Sushi was my baby. Besides my kids and hubby that cat was my everything. Very Thankful to have Taco to keep my mind off my broken heart.
    Taco is doing very well. He’s so much different than Sushi which is taking some getting used to of course. Sushi was hand raised so he was a giant marshmallow! All 3 of my cats are gobblers when it comes to meals. Taco takes FOREVER to eat. And doesn’t always finish a meal. I recently switched his food to a lower carb one and he’s enjoying it more and eating a bit faster. He tests on his pads and my Sushi we tested on his ears. He seems to want to be around my other 2 cats more than they want to around him. There hasn’t been any fighting with the cats or my 3 pugs. Taco seems to be fitting in just fine. I’m
    Sure it won’t be long till he’s sleeping in the cat baskets with one of my other 2 cats. I beyond thankful for this opportunity considering my recent loss. I told my hubby this is what I want to do forever. Take in cats that are hard to place because of diabetes or such. If anyone has any questions about taco or wants any further today just let me know! Much love to you all and your fur babies!

    I am so happy to see your post as I have been asking and wondering about Taco - however, I am SO sorry for your loss of your baby. I lost mine last Monday, and although I have 2 other cats and a dog, he was my baby and I miss him so much. :bighug: We are all here if you want to talk about Sushi or need anything.

    I am so excited to keep up with Taco’s progress and know all about how he’s fitting into the family. It’s really great that he’s getting along with 2 of your cats, and I am sure he will warm up to you as time goes by and he adjusts.

    Please post pics! He is such a beauty, I am so happy he went to such a good, loving home. ❤️

    It is never easy to lose a little one. My condolences. And my thanks to you and your menagerie for adding Taco to the mix. I'm sure he'll love the coast.

    These are pics of Taco with his most favourite thing... his brush! He loves loves loves having his cheeks brushed! He sees the brush and instantly starts purring.

    I love this. I’m a little jealous I didn’t take Taco myself - we had also just lost our sugar cat. :( However, my boyfriend probably would have killed me . He’s gorgeous and I love that he likes being brushed! I wish I lived closer so I could cat sit :)

    Funny that your daughter is in the background, haha, I’m glad he’s hanging around and getting along with the kids! Looks like he’s really becoming a member of the family ❤️
