Wilma Mae (Aka Baby Girl)

My story

Wilma Mae first arrived at HART in 2022. She was placed in one of our foster homes and then adopted, but unfortunately she had to return to our shelter in the Spring of 2024 when circumstances changed and her person could no longer care for her. Now 16 years old, this cute, senior tabby is undoubtedly a kitty who wants everything on her terms. If she likes you and feels safe, she’ll be sweet and sit in your lap to enjoy some gentle attention. She can also be spicy and reactive, and may bite if provoked. She dislikes any form of restraint, and because she has been known to cause a ruckus during appointments with the vet, she sometimes requires a sedative in order to have an in-depth exam. She’s not necessarily a fan of other cats, she definitely does not like dogs, and she is not suitable for a home with children.Wilma Mae is diabetic, and her condition is currently well-managed with a low-carb, canned food only diet (in our shelter, we feed Fancy Feast Classic Pate), and twice-daily insulin injections. We will require that her adopter has a well-established relationship with a veterinarian. Our Medical Team has years of experience successfully caring for diabetic felines, and as part of the adoption process we will provide training in diabetic cat care as well as send Wilma Mae home with a blood-glucose testing kit, a vial of insulin with related supplies as needed, and a generous starter supply of canned food.While perhaps not such big deals to us, we know that Wilma Mae’s age, strong personality, and diabetes don’t necessarily make her a top candidate with potential adopters. And while she may require a little more care than the average cat, it is totally doable, and so very worth it. We know her special someone is out there, and we would love nothing more than to see her find a calm, loving home for her golden years.
