About Jennie
Jennieās story took an unexpected, heartwarming turn. She came home in October 2023 for hospice care, a nine-year-old cat with diabetes and suspected cancer. The outlook seemed bleak, with weight loss and troubling ultrasound results. But Jennie surprised everyone. Instead of slowing down, she regained weight, her coat turned thick and soft, and her appetite soared. Jennieās mealtime excitement is infectious ā she sings her own unique rah! rah! rah! song at her bowl, and she keeps things lively with her box antics, treat-time dances, and yoga mat companionship. This girl is happiest near her people, loves to be picked up and shown the sights, and has a thing for rubbing noses. Jennieās diabetes means she needs insulin shots twice daily, every 12 hours. Sheās gentle, curious, and thrives in a calm environment, preferably as the star of the household. She isnāt a fit for homes with another cat who wants to rule the roost, as even her fosterās resident senior cat struggled to adjust. If you want a quirky, affectionate companion, Jennie is ready for her next chapter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
