"Laura has always been a strong cat, but as she got older, I started to notice her slowing down and losing weight. When I heard about AIM care, I was hopeful but cautious. After just a month, her appetite improved, and she even gained back some of the weight she had lost! One thing that surprised me was how much easier her most recent blood test was—her vet had always struggled to draw blood, but not this time! I’m so grateful for the support from Greycoat Research, and I hope that more cats like Laura can benefit from AIM care."
