She has handled her new protocol at life very well and is adapting and feeling so much better now that she is being regulated.Diabetes sounds like a scary thing but let us tell you why it's not & how easy it is to care for a special needs girl like mama!Every 12 hours she is given insulin by injection, with an extremely small needle 💉, she is fed pate wet food only, her water intake and attitude is monitored to make sure she is "feeling herself" & that's really it. She will always need regular vet visits with blood work and continued care but that is what every kitty should have!Mama is looking for a foster to adopt or a foster to get back into a home of a regular house cat. If you are not experienced but want to learn, we will teach you! The little extra work this girl requires will absolutely be repaid in her charming, sweet and gentle souled personality. This girl is a true gem 💎 & deserves nothing but the best!If interested in learning more about mama, diabetes in cats or or the care she requires please feel free to email us at hvars.adoptions@gmail.com or submit an application at HVARS.org*even if interested in only fostering, an application does need to be submitted* Primary Color: Brown Tabby Secondary Color: Calico Weight: 9.5625 Age: 11yrs 7mths 3wks

Story

Meet Oliver, a 9-year-old dapper gentleman with a statuesque build and a heart full of love. If you're looking for a cat with personality, Oliver’s got it in abundance! He's a professional chatterbox and will happily provide you with a running commentary throughout your day. Whether you’re making coffee, folding laundry, or binge-watching TV, Oliver is ready to narrate it all with his charming meows. This distinguished guy is a social butterfly with his favorite humans, and he’s always open to expanding his fan club. While he enjoys some playful moments with other cats, he’s a bit of a “me time” enthusiast when it comes to feline friendships. He likes to hang out, but he also values his independence. Pets, though? He’s an enthusiast—especially when it comes to chin scratches. That distinctive chin of his practically demands them! Oliver came to us with dental disease, including several missing teeth. He’s had dental cleanings and a few teeth removed. He’s feeling much better, but he’ll need ongoing dental care to keep him smiling. Oliver is looking for a home that will embrace all his quirks and shower him with love and understanding. If you’re someone who enjoys a chatty, affectionate, and handsome cat who marches to the beat of his own drum, Oliver might just be your perfect match!
