Alternative healing for cats
I have a diabetic cat. We tried nutrition therapy; sometimes that's enough to get a cat's glucose levels in the good levels. However, that didn't work for my Oliver.
I talked things through with two different vets. Both recommend insulin injections 2x a day; the cost of therapy is about $200 a month. Add follow up vet visits and blood tests for at least a couple of months, we're talking about another $300 or so.
I'm just getting back on my feet after long-term un- or under- employment. I was hoping that someone could recommend a vet who is into alternative therapy, such as acupuncture, tinctures, herbs. Can anyone recommend anyone who does this kind of work? I am in NYC and would travel in the five boroughs to get the treatment.
Positive vibes to help me find the right practitioner also appreciated.

Was so happy I could track it down.
The story I heard was about new services being offered in NYC's five boros to help people get the care they need for their pet.

p.s. years ago I went with a friend to a no-kill animal shelter. She was adopting a cat. I met the most charming cat there whose name was Oliver. I so wish I'd adopted him. I didn't because I have 3 at home. I regret that now.
I still think about him, dear, charming Oliver.
I found all sorts of flavors, in both wet and kibble.
Hopefully you can find what you are looking for there. 
I lost a kitty in 2007 that I was sure died because the food was tainted--it was in the news at the time. I don't ever want that to happen again...it's taken me this long to get another kitty.
I will try these
