πΎ FOOD, MEDICAL & DENTAL SUPPORT ALWAYS NEEDED FOR THE LOVING PAWS CATS πΎ
Dear friends,
Food continues to be one of our most urgent and ongoing needs for the indoor rescue cats and outdoor colony cats cared for through Loving Paws.
Several of the cats now have sensitive stomachs and other health issues, so I am trying to be more careful about the foods I use and also provide probiotics and digestive support when needed.
All of the foods and supplements pictured are currently needed. Most are on our Chewy Wishlist, and I am also updating our Amazon Food List. I also added Kirkland Signature Maintenance Cat Food as another dry food option.
I really believe rescues and colony caregivers should educate themselves about nutrition and understand that food quality matters, even for feral cats. Rescue is not just about filling a bowl. What we feed them is part of their overall care.
Dr. Senk, a veterinarian, has explained that Costco Kirkland dry cat food is a much better option for feral cats than many lower quality commercial dry foods, while still being affordable when feeding larger numbers of cats. Some cats also need wet food because of age, hydration, dental problems, sensitive stomachs, or other medical needs, and there are affordable wet food options too.
Good nutrition does not necessarily mean buying the most expensive food. It means educating ourselves and making the healthiest choices we reasonably can within our budgets.
Dental care is also extremely important. Cats can develop painful dental disease, infections, broken teeth, and other problems that can make it difficult for them to eat and can affect their overall health. Unfortunately, dental procedures can also become very expensive, especially when several rescue cats need treatment.
Feeding better food, providing appropriate medical and dental care, clean water, shelter, supplements when needed, and paying attention to changes in a catβs health are all part of responsible rescue. β€οΈπΎ

πΎ Chewy gift cards are especially needed right now because they allow me to purchase food, supplements, and other necessities immediately when something runs low or an unexpected need comes up.
Every bag, case, can, packet, supplement, gift card, donation, and share makes a difference. β€οΈ
Please help us keep these cats fed, healthier, and cared for and remind them that they have not been forgotten. π€πΎ
Thank you to everyone who donates, sends food or gift cards, shares our posts, and supports the people out there feeding and caring for these cats every single day.
Pay it forward for the cats. They are counting on us. β€οΈπΎ
