ShortMy name is Tigger, and I was surrendered to the shelter because my senior owner had to move in with family. No one could take me and my brother, BJ, so we had to come to the shelter. We lived with our owner for her entire life. We are litter mates, and we are bonded very closely. We MUST be adopted together.We hadn't been to the vet for several years, so the shelter did a full exam and bloodwork on me and my brother. My brother's bloodwork looks good, but the staff discovered I am diabetic. This wasn't a surprise, because I was very skinny and my teeth were in bad shape, which can both be common with diabetes. The shelter is working on getting my diabetes managed, and I will have a dental to take care of his teeth.Because of my diabetes, my brother and I will both need to be on a diabetic-type diet that helps to control my levels, and I need twice-a-day insulin. The shelter will provide some initial support with food and medication to help my owner get started, and then our owner's veterinarian can help from there. Because of our age and my diabetes diagnosis, there is no charge for our adoption. Normal application processes and screenings still apply.
