somebody pleas help
 
I know Tiggy. He was my first help-a-cat about 3-4 years ago. I helped Tiff learn how
to home-test.

Tiff...is Tiggy still on insulin ?

This breaks my heart. But of course you know I cannot take him. I'm just getting Pauline
re-homed as it is.

PLEASE....can someone take Tiggy.
 
Tiffany,

I help to run a rescue called Diabetic Cats in Need. I have received a PM from Jill and Alex asking me to look at your situation, as she explained in your similar post on the Lantus ISG.

Rehoming a diabetic cat is not easy. Many people do not want to adopt a special needs (such as diabetic) cat, but DCIN tries and does have some successes with it.

If you could, please, send me the answers to the rehoming questions at the bottom of this page. You can email them to me at ennis93 @ att.net. Also read the other information on that rehoming page, so you understand the process we will go through in trying to help find Tiggy a new home.

Finding Tiggy a new home will likely take some time. Please do not be discouraged by that possibility, and please continue to investigate alternatives other than DCIN to find him a new home. Please also consider continuing to try some of the suggestions you received to your post last month. For example, having the vet check him for infections, Clomacalm (although I've never heard of it or used it), Prozac (which a DCIN foster cat is or has been on for obsessive hair pulling), the smart cat box (which you might be able to get as a donation through a request on the Supply Closet or which DCIN might be able to help you afford), and diapers.

I look forward to getting an email from you, Tiffany, and doing what I can to help you find Tiggy a new home.
 
My cat, Otto, is on Prozac (fluoxetine) for spraying. It helps...really. Doesn't stop it for him, but we definitely see a marked increase when we attempt to wean him off so back on it we go. It's at a very manageable level right now.
 
i had quite frankly lost my mind my week has been hard and i was extremely frustrated... to be frank tiggy isnt controlled. me and my husband have made a commitment and are gonna give it another go. HE is ours and we need to give him the best we can. Starting i need to get his numbers down. He is around 200 on this last testing stream.We did a mini set of 5 tests( how horrible is it i forgot what this is called, yeah need to get my self straight) I need to get his chart set back up and we need to buy new insulin which my sister is gonna give me til i can start PZI which i had talked to lori and tom about getting. First though besides this we gotta get him to the vet to make sure he doesnt have an underlying medical problem (uti, infection) this will be happening this weekend..... So a question can anyone set me up with the template for a chart its been so long i lost tiggys and it needs to start over.....
Thank you for your help this is the close to this thread and you will be seeing me more....
Tiff Tiggy and spazz
I also never got the hang of setting up images for tiggy on this new board any help.....
Thank you again
 
I am so glad you are going to try again with Tiggy.

If he is not regulated, that could be a big part of his inappropriate urination.

I'll be praying for you and Tiggy.
 
So glad that you are going to give Tiggy another chance! I'm sure that the thought of giving him up is just heartbreaking to you.
My civvie, Ralph, was on prozac for IE and it helped him...I got his script at Walmart and I believe I didn't pay more than $12 for it.
 
God bless you!! for trying!!! You have A LOT going on but you can do this! Maybe even find out if you can have a friend help you with your schedule so you can make sure you get what is top priority for your household listed. I know it is hard -I"m with you on "losing you mind"- i thought that was the way I was when my 6 cats had ringworm, I have a 2 yr old -work full time and one cat after another was having issues, lyme sulfur dipping made me crazy but I asked a friend to step in and help me- thank goodness she did! she committed to 1x/wk and we quickly developed a tight scheduled that alloted 1 1/2 hrs to get all of it done!! Then later my cat developed diabetes..peeing outside the box!@ uggh!!! I hope the following suggestions help:
1. I used a clipboard by the room my diabetic cat was placed in (since I didn't have any idea on the amt of pee (since I have now 5 cats total) plus wanted to have only one spot to clean up.
2. cheap "family dollar" litter box- it costs about $3.95 and has the litter in it already.. place on top of a storage container lid. Refill with Tidy Cat 40# bag is cheap..
3. Cut the side out of a large storage container put a litter box in there.
4. Place a litter box lid upside down and place in there the "cheap family dollar litter box.
5. Place a computer plastic floor protector down- that plastic that is placed on the floor so the computer chair can roll around.
6. Offer 3 different litter boxes and you will find out which ones the cat is peeing and pooping in. I offer the cheap one on the storage continer lid, one in the litter box lid and another that doens't have a lid. He uses all three (crazy cat!) but I have no more messes. Well ok I have one always on the outside of the normal litter boxes but those are on top of the computer plastic floor guard.

There are so many people here that care for you and cat(s). Purrs, meows and cat rubs coming your way! :) :) :)
 
Tiffany,

I am very happy to hear this. You and DH are the best.

If there is anything DCIN can do to support you at this time, please let me know. We might be able to do it.

Instructions about setting up a spreadsheet are here. Could be if you went into Google docs, you could find your old spreadsheet.

The other person I can remember doing this--asking about adopting out her cat and then deciding with her DH to give it another try--is Mindy and Max. Max is now OTJ!!!
 
it is taken care of...just about everything from SS to supplies to moral support.
we've got it covered.
 
may it be noted that i asked and then tiffany herself asked that this thread be closed?

From Rebecca: It has been noted. I see no reason to close the thread and it is my decision to leave it open. It isn't always possible to respond immediately and often I don't have time to explain my every move. Please be aware of this and do not judge harshly. Thanks.

Click to expand...

I think you will have to PM a moderator with the request.

I doubt that they read every post in every thread to see your request.
