My story

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

Hello, my name is Gabe! I’m a very friendly guy and love to meet new people. I am not shy at all! When I’m in the mood to be affectionate, I like to lay on my human`s lap with a gentle purr. After a bit of snuggling, I’m ready to sit next to you for a nap or lay out long on my back for a big belly rub. Other times I enjoy playing with fake mice and watching birds and squirrels out the window. I`m an easy-going fellow who just needs a loving home and I can`t wait to see if you are the right match!

Gabe is diabetic, which means his body doesn`t produce enough insulin to regulate his blood sugar levels. Thankfully his condition is managed with a once-a-day pill, which he takes like a champ! Caring for a diabetic cat may sound intimidating, but Gabe makes it easy with his laid-back attitude. Our team will provide you with all the information and support you need to keep him healthy and happy, so you can focus on enjoying his loving companionship.

If you are interested in adopting Gabe, please send an email to Adoptions@awla.og to arrange an initial virtual meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
