The Rumba Foundation funded the development of a revolutionary App that is helping cat owners take an active part in monitoring and managing their pets’ diabetes.
Burmese cats can be prone to diabetes – as discovered by The Rumba Foundation’s Founding Trustees, Fiona and Jim Hindle, who had two diabetic boys, Jasper and Theo. Jasper’s diabetes was diagnosed when he was 17 and was particularly difficult to control, so their local vet referred them to the Royal Veterinary College (RVC).
The RVC has a fantastic reputation for being at the forefront of pioneering treatment of feline diabetes. Fiona and Jim met two brilliant vets there, who closely monitored his blood glucose and, after changing Jasper’s insulin type, were able to bring his diabetes under control.
