When It’s Time To Say Goodbye To Your Cat The cycle of life can be down right heart breaking.  After recently losing my precious Hershey after almost 17 years together I can honestly say I have no regrets.  He got the best holistic care, I offered him the best food, he enjoyed several family vacations, […]

Meet Yuri.  She’s an adorable 15 month old tabby kitty who lives in Melbourne, Australia.  Her mom, Anna, adopted her from a local shelter when she about 3 months old.  Shortly after she was diagnosed with an ear infection.  It wasn’t long after that she started to itch and scratch her ears and eye areas, even developing feline acne.  Thus began a year long journey of vet visits and numerous attempts to treat Yuri’s symptoms.
