OrilliaMatters, in partnership with the Comfie Cat Shelter, brings you a regular feature highlighting a special pet that is in need of adoption.
*************************
Are you looking for a calm, senior girl to cuddle you all day and night? I'm your girl! I'm Tinsel, and I am just SO sweet I'll make your teeth ache! I don't have a mean bone in my body and just ooze love to anyone I can show it to!
I am approximately nine years old and when I came to the shelter I was very skinny and drank a LOT of water. As it turns out; I have Diabetes, but it sounds much worse than it actually is. I require daily insulin shots in the morning and evening but I am VERY good with taking them.
Usually my foster mama does them while I'm eating my breakfast/dinner and I don't even notice.
I also require special "Dietetic" food (that you can buy from your vet) and should be given more wet food than kibble. Even with my Diabetes, I can still live a long and great life, and there is even a possibility for me to go into remission and not need the insulin shots anymore. If you are retired or have a schedule that would work with my insulin schedule (every 12 hours) and you want a super sweet, cuddle-buddy, please give me a chance!
I get along OK with other kitties but I do much prefer people over cats and I probably wouldn't be very cuddly with them — just my human! I think I would be OK with a calm/senior dog that wouldn't be in my face all the time. I'd prefer a home with no kids though, as I would like to live out my golden years in a quiet, calm environment. I am a short hair, grey and white, spayed female who was born December 2014.
