Our Mission:
The heart of our mission is to keep diabetic cats in their original, loving homes, regardless of the income level of their caregivers. We support diabetic cats in their original, adoptive, shelter, and rescue homes; help to re-home unwanted diabetic cats; and help to educate caregivers on the appropriate treatment of diabetic cats.
Financial Assistance for Diabetic Cats:
DCIN helps with the insulin and other diabetic supply costs of certain cats, both to help facilitate their re-homing 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
Compassionate Assistance Program:
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. What the program does is provide 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.
