Heartwarming Stories
My 16 year old senior Angelina Jolie was diagnosed with diabetes in April 2025. I noticed her not eating too much, practically living by the water fountain, using her litter box more often and she had weakness in her hind legs. Took her in to see her vet and her glucose was 550! I was stunned. She was overweight and was in early stage kidney disease but otherwise stable. I had very little information about feline diabetes except my vet recommended Lantus insulin. I got a quick tutorial from the vet on giving the insulin injection, a paper to measure glucose at home, told what glucometer to get and that was it. I was alone and terrified. And so here is where we found Adonis and he saved us! With your channel, I learned how to do glucose curves, how to chart and track her numbers and I practiced spa momento on my Angie! In July 2025, she went into remission and remains to this day. We still have a spa momento every other week to check but it's OK. Thank you Adonis for saving my Angie ❤️
Our story started a little over a year ago. I remember being so scared of diabetes. I had no idea how to shoot, the true importance of low carb diets, testing before each injection testing every 30 mins when dropping. Your videos really helped in the beginning. We currently go by SLGS I test October before each injection and normally a +3 and test according to the +3. October isn’t regulated yet but we are getting there. Some days are a bit disappointing but there are good days too. I’ve really learned a lot over the year and have helped others and have advocated for feline diabetes. I have even shared my thoughts and opinions with vets. Most vets are so impressed with her spreadsheet most have never seen anything like it. I’ve noticed many vets don’t know a ton about diabetes, having this knowledge is really important and helps others too. I’m thankful for your videos it really helped so much in the beginning with testing and injections I hope it helps many others along the way.
I'm sorry I don't have a diabetic cat story to share but both of my cats are special in their own way. I have one who was born with her back kind foot curled up and abandoned by her mama, rescued by my friend and gifted to me. She had an accident and had to have that back like amputated but she's doing great now. Our other cat Houdini was returned to the shelter six times because he has a hard time forming attachments and is very scared of a lot of things. We've had him 5 years now and love him so much. We call him fluffy britches because he's a big fluffy Maine Coon. But Adonis content, and watching you be very affectionate and sweet to Adonis reminds me of how my papa Tios and Tias were with me. I have a little boy who is three and autistic. I realized I wasn't using my Latina cariño with him very much. So since watching your videos I have started using it with him more and he loves it! Thank you!! Mil gracias por su ejemplo de paciencia y amor sin duda.
Estamos muy agradecidos con Adonis y su familia, uno cuando inicia el viaje no siente q puede acostumbrarse a el ritmo que requiere la diabetes felina, pero el adonis con sus test tan tranquilo y las indicaciones de madre y padre pudimos entender q se puede llegar a una realidad distinta. Hoy por suerte Noel no necesita más insulina pero el tiempo q duro el viaje fue menos tormentoso sintiendo la compañía de vuestra familia, Noel desea q pronto también adonis no necesite más insulina y sea un gato dulce con un páncreas feliz y trabajador Saludos de Noel y eternamente agradecidos a uds.
Our story with feline diabetes began two months ago. It was a shock; we expected something to happen, but not diabetes. It was completely by accident that I came across Adonis; he's wonderful. His story and the way he handles insulin give us hope that ours will be just as peaceful. Thanks to Adonis and his mom, we found a group for diabetic cats. A group that provides great support and practical help. Thank you, and I hope we succeed 💪💪
Hi, Adonis! I've been following you for a year or so. My cat doesn't have diabetes, but he was diagnosed with Autoinmune Hemolytic Anemia a month ago. He is on a very strict treatment with steroids and some other medication every day multiple times a day. Once we started with his medication I couldn't help but remember you, Adonis, and your parents, and how successful your autoimmune disease is managed by being very methodic and disciplined. I try to do the same with Vito, giving him his medication always on time, being very responsible with how we handle syringes and needles and always rewarding him after a successful dose. I wouldn't wish an autoimmune disease no anyone (pet of human) but having a community and learning how to handle these situations by watching others (such as you, Adonis) has been a huge help and support. We are big fans of Anabelita too. Kisses and hugs from a Chilean-Swiss family
Siso has come ongoing GI issues for a few months and we are doing lots of tests and trial foods and doctor visits, with variable levels of improvement. Adonis gives me hope that even a long term condition can be managed
My kitty gas eosiniphilic granuloma on her tongue from a food allergy. I thought i was going yo be administering atopica orally for the reat of her life, so i wanted to see how other people handle medicating their cats daily. My kitty responded well to switching to hydrolyzed food, so she fets to avoid the medicine, but i was really struggling for a few months. Adonis was helpful to n that he was not always perfectly cooperative, as my kitty was extremely uncooperative and thats what i was having trouble with.
