My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Peaches! Believe it or not, this long-haired beauty was brought to ICHS as a stray. Peaches was not a big fan of the shelter life when she first came in, but who can blame her? Going from having all of the outdoors to being in a cage is a huge change! However, Peaches has gotten a lot better at adjusting to change as she has experienced a lot since coming into the shelter. After she finally got more adjusted to being here at ICHS, our shelter staff noticed some things were off with Peaches. She was excessively eating and drinking and was urinating more than normal. After being taken to the vet, it was discovered that Peaches is diabetic and her blood glucose level was high. Peaches immediately started receiving insulin injections and switched to diabetic-friendly cat food (we are using Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Diabetic Management). Since starting this journey, Peaches' blood glucose level has dropped significantly and continues to get better! Because of her condition, Peaches will need to go to a home with someone who will be able to fully manage and keep up with her disease. This will include giving her, her insulin shot every 12 hours, taking her for frequent vet visits, providing her with diabetic management food, etc. So, we would prefer an adopter who has experience with diabetic cats or other diseases that require similar maintenance for Peaches.

All of this care is worth it with a cat like Peaches! Since Peaches has been starting to feel better, we have really gotten to see her true personality. Peaches is a lot more cuddly than we ever knew! She loves receiving ALL the pets, being held, and even cuddling up for a nap with our shelter staff. She sure would love to snuggle up in your bed with you! No matter where you go or what you're doing, Peaches is sure to be laying nearby keeping you company. When she isn't being a love bug, Peaches enjoys exploring and gazing out the window. She seems to think that the cars driving past is actually a game for her. Overall, Peaches is a joy to be around. She is filled with personality and is a very loyal friend who loves to snuggle. While Peaches knows that her condition makes it harder to get adopted, she never loses hope that she will find her very own fur-ever family. If you know that you would be able to manage Peaches' diabetes and are ready to make a new best friend, consider putting in an adoption application for Peaches today!
