I was ready to take a Disney trip and just found out my kitty has diabetes and needs an insulin shot 2x a day 😿 so this puts trips on hold of course. Anyone have a kitty with diabetes? Any tips? Thanks guys! At least I have the lounge to see live pics 😸

Disneyland kennel? I'm not sure if they take cats? - Mouse4life  1037.7 #82 2:33PM
I'll look into that! Thanks! - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 2:40PM
They do--that's a great suggestion! - Spoonful_O_Sugar  435.8 #283 4:15PM
Great idea! - KylaShea  533.2 #213 8:38PM
Our dog had to have 2 shots daily also. We did this for 5+ years. Teach a friend how to give them or board with your vet, and they can give them. Sorry to hear this. - DisneyGrandma  336.3 #443 1:53PM
How old was you dog when diagnosed? I'm hoping my kitty will live his full life span now. - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 2:40PM
She was around 4-5, and lived till she was 11. - DisneyGrandma  336.3 #443 4:13PM
There are also people who are pet sitters that can come to your house everyday and care for your kitty. It's not very expensive. Cheaper than boarding. - DisneyGrandma  336.3 #443 4:16PM
Thank you! Turns out my vet is very cheap and they're excited to have him as needed 😺 - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 8:35PM
Thanks you guys! I was hoping to have a trusted family member, but turns out I don't. That's a whole other story. I just hope the vet isn't too expensive 😿 - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 2:39PM
Sorry to hear this...I don't know anything about cats but I hope things go well for you! - MinnieMousewife  570.0 #193 4:17PM
Thank you 😺 - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 8:35PM
Slim chance I know, but if you live in or around Pleasanton I'd be more then happy to give your kitty the shots. Vet boarding isn't too expensive either. - Linzee  515.2 #227 4:22PM
And this is why MW continually amazes me. You are so very kind, linzee. - SneakyStella  292.9 #656 4:32PM
You are so amazing to suggest this!! Unfortunately I live in wheatland, which is just south of yuba city. - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 8:32PM
So sweet of you Linzee! - KylaShea  533.2 #213 8:38PM
I had a cat that was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 8. He lived on insulin for another 6 years and was a very happy kitty. I know they seem really miserable when they first get back from the vet (at least mine did he was in the vet for 3 days on fluids and having tests done) but he'll bounce back quickly and you'll get used to giving the shots. My kitty would run to the fridge when it was time for his shot and start nuzzling me and purr. Good luck everything will be fine:) - princessamandamarie  213.0 #1441 4:32PM
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this! 😸 Thank you! My kitty is 11 and I know he has so much more life. I know it's hard changes, but he's already looking awesome! And yes, he meows up a storm at feeding/injection time 😸 - minnieMisty  214.9 #1417 8:34PM
What the others said...DL Kennel, cat sitter, and many boarding places offer medical assistance. - Gia  782.1 #119 11:07PM
