Diabetic Cats in Need
https://fdmb-cin.blogspot.com/p/our-missionactivitiespeople.html
DCIN helps with the insulin and other diabetic supply costs of certain cats, both to help facilitate their rehoming and to help them stay in their original homes. On occasion, DCIN may help with treatment costs when cats have
diabetes-related health problems that require veterinary care. The financial program currently accepting applications is the Compassionate Assistance
Program, described below.
https://fdmb-cin.blogspot.com/p/compassionate-assistance-program.html
DCIN's current financial assistance program is the Compassionate
Assistance Program (CAP). 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. The program provides 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.
