All You Need to Know About Diabetes for Cat Sitters
We’ve put this workshop together to help cat sitters feel more confident and prepared when caring for diabetic cats. The session is led by Kelly Debaene from Mokum Mobile Vet (www.mokummobilevet.com).
Kelly is a cat-focused veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in general practice and shelter medicine in the US and the Netherlands. Through Mokum Mobile Vet, she provides personalised, low-stress care for cats in their own homes across Amsterdam—giving her a unique perspective that closely aligns with in-home cat sitting.
We cover the essentials: what feline diabetes is, why it matters, and how to recognise symptoms. You’ll learn what your role is as a sitter caring for diabetic cats, how to prepare before a job, and how to safely handle feeding, medication, and monitoring routines.
We also go through common situations, how to recognise and respond to emergencies, and when to contact the owner or an emergency vet.
The workshop includes practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, a short insulin demo, and a simple daily checklist you can actually use on the job.
The goal is simple: to help you feel calm, capable, and confident in caring for diabetic cats, so that more sitters are available to care for cats with this condition.
Organised by Luciana Mesinas Montero from MultiCATsking Cat-sitting Amsterdam (www.multicatsking.com).
