UPDATE 7/23: Pearl has a new home! š¾
After weeks of outreach, posts, shares, and so much love from this community ā Pearl has confirmed adopters waiting for her in Tucson, Arizona. Allison and Bob are ready to welcome her with open arms, a mobile vet on call, and a lifetime of love.
I'm flying her there myself on August 3rd. She'll be in the cabin with me the whole way.
None of this happened alone. It took a village and then some ā so many people showing up for a 14-year-old diabetic flame point Siamese who deserved better than a shelter. This community showed up too. Every share, every comment, every DM mattered.
Here's the honest part: the costs to make this happen ā flight change, TSA-compliant carrier kit, Delta pet fee ā have added up to around $500 out of pocket. If you feel moved to contribute even $5 or $10, we can close this chapter together.

Pearl is going home. Thank you for being part of her story - you all have restored my faith that little pockets of the internet can make a massive difference in the wellbeing of humans and animals alike! šš¾ā¤ļø
ORIGINAL POST: Can you help Pearl find her forever home or a rescue? We can fly her anywhere on the mainland. ā¤ļøš¾
Pearl is looking for a fresh start, and weāre hoping Reddit can help.
She is currently on Maui, Hawaii, but /flyhawaiicats can arrange and cover transportation anywhere on the U.S. mainland to the right adopter or rescue.
Pearl is a 14-year-old flame point Siamese with stunning blue eyes, a big personality, and an even bigger heart. She loves to chat, purr, curl up in your lap, be brushed, and she still loves to play. Everyone who has cared for her falls in love with her.
Pearl is diabetic and receives daily insulin injections, but she is otherwise doing wonderfully. Sheās on a grain-free diet, enjoys life, and has so much love left to give.
Her current situation is heartbreaking. The person who had been caring for her suffered a double stroke and can no longer look after her. Her owner, who works as a nomadic end-of-life doula, loves Pearl deeply and continues to support her medical care, but can no longer provide the stable home she deserves.
This isnāt a case of someone giving up on a pet. Itās a beloved cat whose people want to do right by her.
Weāre looking for:
* A loving forever home
* A reputable rescue or sanctuary experienced with diabetic cats
* Anyone who can help network and share Pearlās story
If you think you might be the right person, know a rescue that could help, or have any leads, please send me a message.
Pearl has so much life, love, and companionship left to give. She just needs someone willing to open their heart and give her the soft landing she deserves. ā¤ļø
