The Total Cat Store - Dedicated to our beloved Snowflake
The inspiration for our store... Snowflake.
Our Journey... thru all the years I have used conventional and alternative medicine with all my pets. I am a believer that both types have a place in our lives. Thanks to my Mom who is a retired nutritionist, she and my dad and sister practice a regiment of organic and whole food as well as homeopathy and alternative medicine, with a mix of conventional medicine.
Quite a few years ago, at least 10 yrs ago, our beloved snowflake had a few issues discovered during a yearly senior exam. Kidney stones and crystals. It was found after surgery, that he was dealing with Calcium Oxalate and therefore we made the appropriate changes in his commercial diet and life style. Then within 6 months, we found his kidney values were rising to a point of concern. Some say CRF others say CRD, it depends who you talk to. But I was not going to give up that easily. I started researching about the natural diet for felines (raw) and alternative options for his CRD to regain control on his health and to prevent any further decline. We tried all the commercial foods and meds the conventional vets recommended with no success. He was just getting worse every month. Then we read about feeding raw and holistic avenues. Well after switching to a RAW diet and homeopathy treatments, his last blood work on 7/2010 showed the kidneys were stable and slightly improved. That news made us very happy and showed us that we were on the right path of care. The one issue I found with making such changes and research, was finding a good source for food and other supplies that were organic, natural, alternative or holistic in one location and with out weeding thru all the other items that did not fall in that category. So that is our inspiration to start this store. Our store carries a limited number of products for we want to specialize in quality not quantity for a raw and holistic care for our feline companions.
