About Mama
Mama is a diabetic sweetheart looking for a family who can give her the consistency and care she needs for a happy life ahead. She’s about 9 years old and recently diagnosed, but she’s taken her daily insulin routine in stride and feels much better now that her treatment is regular. Her care is straightforward: just a tiny insulin injection every 12 hours, a diet of pate-style wet food, and a watchful eye on her mood and hydration. With these simple routines and ongoing vet checkups, she can live comfortably like any other cat. For anyone hesitant about caring for a diabetic cat, her rescue is ready to offer guidance and support. Mama’s soft personality shines through even more now that she feels her best. She’s looking for a foster-to-adopt, or even just a foster, to give her the cozy home experience she deserves. The small extra effort pays off in affection—she’s gentle, sweet, and truly one of a kind. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
