Diabetic Cats in Need

With this program, there is little up-front information required from the caregiver and there will be no administrative follow-up on the cat or caregiver. What the program does is provide one-time assistance with certain insulins and other supplies (including testing supplies if the caregiver desires) to low-income caregivers. It also provides guidance to feline diabetes educational information and sites on the Internet, hoping to get the caregivers on the road to "appropriate treatment" for their cats.
