If you’re like me, I feel stress whenever one of my cats has to have any kind of surgery or procedure.  Nevertheless, sometimes it’s necessary, like spaying/neutering or dental cleaning.  To aid in the recovery, or convalescence, there are several things we can do holistically to help. Convalescence for cats:  Thom’s story  One of my […]

I received an email this week that made me cry.  Granted, they were happy tears!  When Michael reached out to me almost a month ago I could sense the desperation resonating through the phone. He had just purchased a custom dose of Lyssin, a homeopathic remedy often used in the treatment of an adverse reaction […]

  Back in January 2020 a very concerned cat mom, Sandy, reached out to me for help.  Their shy, sweet, engaging and playful kitty, Maggie, had become a withdrawn, grumpy, over-grooming, itchy and miserable mess.  Coupled with the loss of a bonded friend and the addition of a new kitten in the home, Maggie’s life […]

I’m seeing it more and more with cat clients I work with:  vaccines are resonating as stressors.  And this hurts my heart!  What cat parents need to know is that vaccines do not come without risk.  Serious, chronic diseases can develop as a result of vaccines, as well as immediate acute symptoms.  This is why […]

  I love stories with happy endings!  Perhaps it’s because in real life this isn’t always the case, especially in the lives of rescue cats.  I want you to meet a very special kitty to me; his name is Pooh Bear.  His name, probably inspired by the lovable orange bear we all know from childhood […]

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. 

Over-vaccination is rampant in today’s society because profits are put before pets.  As a cat parent it’s absolutely critical you educate yourself about vaccinations.  I’ve been watching the documentary series The Truth About Pet Cancer this week, and an entire episode was dedicated to the truth about vaccines.  Before you cart your cat off to the vet in programmed compliance to the reminder postcard your vet sent you, here’s what you need to know about vaccines for cats.

I know the topic of annual vaccinations for pets can be very controversial, but I truly feel in my heart that apart from learning to read and understand pet food labels, getting the facts about vaccines and immunology is one of the most important things you can do.  It will help you decide, as your pet’s guardian, what truly is in his best interest.  

It’s been quite stressful in our home these past couple of days.  The day I have been dreading for months has finally come…and gone.  I’m happy to report we’ve come out on the other side unscathed, but it was a close call. Aylen is now nine months old!  Where did the time go?  I made […]
