Tommy Francis is Totally Fabulous!

Known as Tommy, he is in New Berlin, New York currently and needs a new home. His person has sadly passed away and he was living in a foster home but the senior cat and Tommy did not get along. He is currently living in a vet office and needing a new home!

Tommy is about 5 years old and good with dogs and at least one other cat, as he lived with his sister. Tommy seems good with kids, but hasn't been exposed to kids under 8 or 9.

Tommy is very loving, loves to be petted. He also loves playing with toys, cardboard boxes, and hair ties.

He takes 5 units of insulin 2x a day. His person is willing to pay for insulin for the first year Tommy is living with someone else. Tommy is very loved, just unfortunately has lost his person and his persons family is not able to take care him.

If you can open your heart and home to Tommy Francis, please email [email protected] ASAP!

4/6/26 🚨🐾 URGENT: Immediate Foster or Forever Home Needed for Dominic 🐾🚨
Mabel's Orphaned Angels-Chesapeake Beach Virginia!!!

Dominic may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you — this boy has kitten-level energy and a mischievous streak that keeps everyone laughing. Whether he’s swiping snacks, investigating Crocs, or turning a sink into his personal throne, Dominic knows how to make every day entertaining.
But right now… Dominic needs a safe place to land.
We are urgently seeking a foster or forever home for this sweet, silly, lovable boy.
💙 Why Dominic Is So Special
Diabetic, but incredibly easy to manage — he takes his insulin and BG checks like a total pro
Loves calm dogs and gentle kids
Prefers to be your one-and-only or live with a few non‑confrontational cats
Would thrive with a catio, screened porch, or safe outdoor space to explore
Affectionate, playful, and full of personality
Dominic has so much love left to give — he just needs someone willing to open their home and heart to a senior boy who deserves comfort, stability, and joy.
🏡 Can you help Dominic today?
Even a temporary foster would change his world.

5/17/26 (Date of DCIN’s first post) MILO IS NOW URGENT!

Milo is one in a Million!! Milo lives in Hudsonville, Michigan and was rescued by her people. She was a community cat and they took her in during a bad snowstorm. They are unsure of her age. Milo was diagnosed with diabetes about 2 years ago. Unfortunately they feel that they need to rehome her to give her a better life and can no longer financially support her and give her the proper care she deserves. They just want her to have the best life she can.

Milo is pretty outgoing and follows them around the house. She currently lives with 2 large dogs and 1 other cat and for the most part just leaves them alone. She loves to walk beside her people and is always interested in what they are doing. She is not declawed and has no other health issues besides diabetes. She eats friskys pate and she requires 4 units of insulin twice a day.

You can reach her person at [email protected] ASAP!!!

***Please keep comments and emails civil and directed towards finding Milo a new home!*** ~Lisa

Hello, my name is Pearl Gray Marie, I live in Sacramento, California. I'm 7 years old and a beautiful, gentle Siberian type Long-Haired spayed girl, longing for a new, warm, loving home. I am a truly special cat, for in 2024 I was diagnosed with diabetes, but please don’t let that scare you. I am resilient and deserve love just like any other cat. I am on a special diet—Royal Canin Glycobalance—just a little quarter cup at 6am and 6pm, and I also need insulin—two units, twice a day—to keep me healthy.

I love to be outdoors, feeling the sun and breeze, but honestly, I feel safest and happiest inside a cozy home. My heart was once touched by a dear friend—a sweet Chihuahua—who was the only dog I ever knew. My mom thinks I am still grieving for him after he recently passed away.

I tend to be shy around humans, preferring to hide away at first, but with patience, gentle words, and lots of love, I promise I will blossom. When I trust you, you’ll find me purring softly in your arms, forever grateful for your kindness and care.

Here’s a little glimpse into my personality: I’m a laid-back cat who occasionally gets the zoomies—those lively, joyful bursts of energy. I adore my cat tower and take great comfort in the scratching post. When I do go outside, I love sunbathing and watching the birds — it’s such a peaceful, joyful moment. Even then, I never stray far from home; I stay in the backyard, always close, just waiting for my name to be called, ready to come back into the safety and warmth of my family’s love.

If you are ready to give me love and be my new family, please email my mom at [email protected]

Wrex is Remarkable!

Wrex is a wonderful confident, lap cat at Simply Cats (Boise, Idaho). Life hasn’t always been easy for him. Soon after arriving at Simply Cats back in December, he spent months being nursed back to health by their cat care team and a dedicated foster.

Wrex was suffering from Diabetic Ketoacidosis—a condition where prolonged high blood sugar causes the body to break down fat, leading to a dangerous buildup of ketones. At his worst, he was too weak to stand, barely responsive, and experiencing pre-seizure activity. He required supportive care, including syringe feeding, until he was strong enough to eat on his own.

Today, he’s happy, healthy, and ready to find his forever home! Wrex recently rejoined the adoption floor earlier this month and is finally feeling like himself again.

Cute video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xAQ9yEoRCTM

Nothing makes this sweet boy happier than snuggling up for love and attention. Wrex will rub against your legs, flop at your feet, and happily ask for pets. He’s also quite the conversationalist. He'll meow to say hello and tell you all about his day as soon as he sees you. He even enjoys being held like a baby. When Wrex is not cuddling, you’ll find him bird-watching from his catio or snoozing in a cozy bed. Wrex is your boy! He would do best in a calm home, as the busy energy of kids and other cats wasn’t quite his style in his previous home and prefers to reign as the king of the castle.

Wrex has diabetes but is currently in remission, meaning he is not dependent on insulin, thanks to his specialized diet. He’s looking for a home with someone special who understands diabetes, whether personally or through caring for a cat.

Leah is lively!

Meet Leah! She's amazing and in foster for PAWS Philly (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)! Leah's foster family describes her as a lovely mix of couch potato and snuggle-bug. Once you're acquainted with her you can hold her and she'll come up and sit next to you in bed. She loves a warm cat bed during the day, but will also join folks for some TV time on the couch when she's feeling more outgoing. She can live with other calm, passive, "roommate-style" kitties but won't be jazzed about very assertive, pushy cats.

Leah is being treated for diabetes, though they’ve luckily been able to get her quickly regulated! She takes her twice-daily insulin pokes at mealtimes with ease, and is on a gluco-support, low-calorie diet to help maintain her weight-- which also keeps her diabetes controlled! Leah has gorgeous, long fur that will need regular brushing to prevent tangles and mats, but thankfully she loves a good brushing session!! While she appreciates being given the choice on when she wants to interact with people, and she'll often seek out pets and lovin' as a result, she will also gently give a little bat to let you know if she's had enough attention for the time being.

Per Leah's foster, "she's very calm and mostly sweet - with just the right amount of tortico spice if you do something wrong (like pet her too long, or not enough, or not just right). She has beautiful green eyes and puts on the most mesmerizing intense stare when she wants something. She takes her insulin like a dream- no reaction, no chasing, no fuss, and so far her diabetes has been easy to regulate with twice daily insulin and diet." Animal ID PHLP-A-181015

This cat is currently located in a PAWS foster home. Please email their foster parent at [email protected] to learn more about them!

In order to meet any cats in foster care, you will need to have an approved application first. To get the adoption process started, please submit an adoption application online at https://phillypaws.org/cat-adoption-application/

If you have any questions for the adoption team, feel free to email [email protected] or call 215-238-9901 ext. 30.

Lacey is Lovely!

Lacey is a beautiful girl who was surrendered to Animal Rescue Merrimack Valley (Haverhill, Massachusetts) over a year ago. She raised her kittens, and they were all adopted by wonderful families. Now it’s Lacey’s turn to find a loving home.

Lacey has diabetes and will need a special family, but many diabetic cats live long, happy lives with proper care. She is incredibly sweet and truly deserves a place to call her own.

Lacey is a true sweetheart who adores human companionship. She loves being near her person and will happily follow you from room to room, making her adorable little chirping noises along the way. When you sit down, she’ll join you on the couch, sit close, and look at you with those sweet, attentive eyes—she truly enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing.

She would do best as an only pet. Lacey does not get along with other animals, especially dogs, and will thrive in a calm, pet-free home where she can be the center of attention. Lacey is also a bit of a foodie—picky, but enthusiastic! She enjoys her meals and absolutely loves Temptations treats.

Lacey has been very loved in foster care and is now ready for a quiet home where she can continue to feel safe, adored, and cherished.
Please share this post to help Lacey find the loving home she’s been waiting for.

If you’re falling in love and interested in adopting her, please apply at www.armv.org or email [email protected]

Crinkles is a Cutie!!

Crinkles is a doctor and staff favorite at PAWS Brave Hearts (Calais, Maine)!! Sweet and social 5-6 year old Crinkles is an extra extra special big boy!

Crinkles lost his ear due to frostbite. He easily manages his diabetes with oral drops mixed in his food daily. Eating and taking his meds is no biggie for him. He is a wicked cute chatter bug who can’t get enough affection.

If you would like to adopt Crinkles and are experienced with diabetic cats please complete the adoption link here: https://tinyurl.com/4a4k74ze

Tux is Tremendous!

Tux is a 15 year old diabetic cat living in Canton, Georgia, that loudly seeks attention and likes to rub against legs and even lick when given the chance. He is on 1.5 units insulin 2 times a day.

Tux needs a new home because his only caretaker was recently diagnosed with severe cat allergy but does not want to put him down. Tux is still very lively and very outgoing.

Not particularly aggressive, but he can bite because he really wants attention. He bites when overstimulated (toddlers not understanding how to pet cats) or when really wanting attention (like biting mother-in-law awake while she was asleep). The only time he didn't want attention was when he eventually had his social quota months into the Covid lockdowns. It was the only time his person ever knew him to not want attention anymore, otherwise he really wants attention ever since.

As far as his person can remember, he doesn't like dogs. Tux is very aggressive with other cats and doesn't play nice.

If you can handle a challenge and have time to devote to giving Tux lots of playtime and attention, please email [email protected]

***Please keep comments and emails civil and directed towards finding Tux a new home!*** ~Lisa

6/13/26 Urgent!! Moose in Washington, DC needs a new home!

Moose is about 9 years old in Washington DC and needs a new home. Her person can’t take care of her diabetes the way its needed with their work schedule. Her person doesn’t have any help and can’t change jobs. Because of this Moose misses her insulin doses often.

Moose deserves a long healthy life and she can get it with a new home. She can be shy but loves people after she gets used to you. Moose is fine with kids but doesn’t like dogs and doesn’t love other cats. She’s on insulin and wet food only. Moose is very sweet and cuddly.

If you can help Moose, please message on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mariam.saad.33
