Pumpkin's Bio

Hi there! My name is Pumpkin and I am in search of my furever home.

I have a bit of a tragic backstory. I was dumped at a veterinarian’s office by my previous owner in terrible condition. I was in severe pain, hyperglycemic from my untreated diabetes, and overweight.  Because of all of this, the humans here at Pets Alive Niagara spent a long time getting me back into good enough shape to be adopted out to a loving family.

Because of my painful past, I am more on the submissive and quiet side, as I am still learning to trust humans again. But despite this, I am super affectionate and love to cuddle once I get to know you. 

I love other animals and would definitely benefit from having  that sort-of companionship. Supervision will especially be necessary, since I am less likely to speak up if I’m being treated unfairly. 

Since I am diabetic, I am on a special diet to both help me lose weight and keep my blood sugar leveled out. I cannot have regular cat food, so I must be fed separately from any animal friends. I am not on insulin at this time, but my family will be asked to book an appointment for me with their veterinarian immediately in order to discuss monitoring my blood sugar at home via blood tests.

I would thrive in a home with a family that is calmer with lots of love to provide me with, and one that is able to take all the necessary steps to keep my diabetes under moderation.

Why We Love Fostering

  • Teddy and Lily came to me almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, Lily is suffering from kidney disease, but Teddy takes care of her and watches over her to the best of his ability. I've said this so many times: They didn't need me, I needed them. Pets Alive Niagara is hands down one of the most loving, caring, involved, dedicated charities in the Niagara Region. If you are able to be part of this family jump on our band Wagon won't you? 🐾🎙.
