I have just taken on a foster cat that was rescued from death row. She was spayed,vaccinated,wormed and given flea and heartworm treatment,(even though we do not have heartworm in this area)
She has had two previous homes in two months and I was told that she was suffering from chronic diarrohea that no-one had been able to correct. One carer had her on vegan Cat food,which consists mainly of soy and corn.
The day before Grace came to me she was due for further vaccines and also antibiotics in an attempt to stop the diarrohea that was occurring within half an hour of every meal.'Dr.White Coat' suggested that if the antibiotics didn't work cortisone would be the next line of treatment. We requested that no treatment be given that day.
Grace was so hungry,I have fed her a variety of raw meat with probiotics and a reputable brand of 'Cat Mix' Multi-Nutrient Formula.
After one week her condition is already so much better,her fur is becoming shiny and the diarrohea has stopped.
I have been a Vegetarian for 30 years and I also found it hard to give my cats meat but they are 'true carnivores'
and deserve to have a diet that will not only sustain them but set the groundwork for excellent health,wellbeing and longevity.
I have seen so many cats suffering health problems due to the modern day invention of 'dry cat kibble'.
As someone said: 'If you don't want to feed a cat a species appropriate diet ,then get a rabbit or a guinea pig'.
