Story
Tigger (approx 5yo, tabby, male) Tigger is a curious, lovable, ornery guy. He loves to hop up on your lap if you're sitting on the couch. He purrs and snuggles as you pet him. If he gets nervous about anything, like visitors, he will hide under the blankets in someone's bed. It never takes long to find Tigger, though. Just look for which bed has a "bump" under the covers! Tigger is very food-oriented but can be distracted with toys and attention. Tigger was diagnosed with diabetes in January 2025. We have been treating him with insulin after each meal. (He eats twice a day.) The vet suggested getting him a blood glucose monitor, and then you only need to provide insulin as required. Otherwise, Tigger is a happy, cuddly, friendly boy!
