THANK YOU FOR HELPING CHARLI! WE SURPASSED THE GOAL, THANKS TO YOU!
Charli is a 10-year-old cat who has been with us for about three years, living in our senior & special needs cat area. She has diabetes, which requires daily glucose monitoring and insulin shots.
Normally, glucose monitoring for cats involves pricking their ear with a needle twice a day. Cats’ ears are sensitive, so that hurts! Charli, who is normally a sweet and outgoing cat, hates having her ears pricked and had begun to run and hide when her caretakers tried to touch her because she didn’t want to be poked.
Recently, Charli’s been able to try out a continuous glucose monitor, which sticks to her skin and sends readings to a phone app. No more ear-pricking! She’s much happier, more comfortable, and more social with the monitor on and her blood sugar is easier to manage with continuous readings.
We’re hoping to raise enough money to cover the cost of one year’s worth of replacements for Charli’s monitor: $2,250. It’s a big improvement to her health and her quality of life and we’d love to be able to keep it going!
