I rotate proteins as much as I can -- usually every 2 or 3 meals.   I have 3 cats who are intolerant of beef, one that is intolerant of poultry, and one that is intolerant of any raw food.  (Intolerant -- eat, throw up in about 10 minutes!)  The rest of them get beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork...

I've fed homemade raw food for 25+ yrs and can say I've never had a problem with parasites.  I do not freeze the meat, which comes from a local grocery store and is not organic, until I have made the food -- then I freeze part of the batches.  (I grind about 12lbs at a time.)  In terms of...

I would check with any possible pet sitter.  I have 2 different ones I use and neither has an issue with the raw food -- one did steal my recipe for her cats, though. The other idea is to use an automatic feeder with a cool pack.  I have the pet sitter come out 2x a day, but I have 2 cats that...

The lady could live another 2 years or another 20 years. The cat could live another year or another 15 years. You can not be certain there ever will be a problem. Many older people are aware that they need to plan for their animals.  This lady has already talked to her daughter, so she...

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had contacted URRKN but they do not 'deliver' cats to a rescue, only to a private person.  This is why I then contacted Imagine Home, https://www.facebook.com/imaginehomeorg

I am trying to arrange the transport of a cat from Kansas City, MO to Chicago, IL via St. Louis. The situation is this: The owner of a persian cat named FuManChu must rehome her cat.  He pees on the floor and is no longer using the litterbox at all.  She has had him to 2 different vets and...

When I began making raw food 20+ yrs ago, the idea of mixing protein sources was something 'very bad'.  The logic being a cat would only eat one type of prey at a time. I'm seeing more recipes that 'allow' mixing of proteins, usually poutlry with poutlry and red meat with read meat.  The logic...

I can help maybe with part of your question -- the brand of cat food.  I feed mainly raw food, but I have 3 cats that can't have the raw due to food intolerances and owner's request.   So they get canned food.  Since I usually can find fault with any can of food, I opt for the variety method.  I...

So the smaller numbers didn't help -- dang! I have patience for cats -- not so much for people.  And it's not as bad as it sounds.  Most of their problems are digestive-related problems so once the food is adjusted then they are okay mostly.  Okay, I have to make 3 different blends and add...

I have 3 cats which are beef intolerant -- eat beef, 5-10 minutes later, throw up beef.  One can handle slightly cooked beef, which defeats the purpose of raw.  The other 2 cannot. I had tried mixing beef in with chicken, but stopped for 2 reasons.  One -- 2 of the cats then had diarrhea.  So...

<If I use small numbers, it won't look as bad...>  My herd is 3 DSH, 3DLH, 6 Persians, 1 Himalayan, and 2 Persians I'm 'holding' for someone.  These last two are technically owned by her but they lost their house, couldn't find a rescue to take in 10yr old persian which pee on carpet, so I took...

Hi! I joined this site because it came up several times on topics relating to raw food, CRF, and herbs, and because a friend recommended it. I have *several* cats (translation, a herd of cats) and have done rescue for 20+ yrs.  Half of my cats are moggies, a couple with major medical...
