Aging Cats, Healthy Cats
It is said that a society is judged by its treatment of animals. Let's take this further. How does one judge a society by its treatment of the elderly; elderly people, elderly animals? How does society treat those who are aging? How do we as individuals treat the elders in our care?
Cat Faeries knows firsthand the stresses and frustrations involved with caring for the elders; be it elder parents or friends, elder cats, or other animals. We know that our elders exhibit behaviors and noises which can grate on our nerves, which pushes our emotions, which exhausts us, which challenges our equilibrium.
We know firsthand that very little help or support is out there for the caregiver, and aging cats. We know that there are few resources for people who are letting their beloved animals live out their final years or days in dignity. We have found little in the form of words of wisdom, or the products which can assist
Cat Faeries is embarking upon a new direction - feline elder care, as well as emotional support for the caregivers.
We have lost countless friends to the AIDS epidemic. We have lost our grandparents, and we have lost our parents. We have lost countless animal companions to varying diseases and/or the ravages of old age. . We are watching our parents age. We are watching our own selves age. And it's all scary, it's all challenging, and it can often make your feel oh so alone and helpless.
Age can be a beautiful thing when the body, the mind, and the spirit are all nourished with good food, love, and support. Age does not have to be a punishment or a torturous endeavor. With the correct attitude from caregivers, with smartly selected supplementation, maintaining a compassionate heart, aging can be rewarding, the death process can be beautiful and transformational.
Lastly, let's help our young cats maintain youthfulness for a very very long time!
Kidney Kitty - 1 fl. oz.
1 fl oz
Support for kidneys and urinary tract, help for renal failure. Support for thyroid.
$24.95
We are very proud of this formula. We give it to our own cats every day (their ages of our cats range from 15 to 20) and so far our vet tells us their kidneys are in darned good shape. This formula probably won't cure existing renal failure, but customers tell us that their cats really improve - they start to eat again, they become more active, their test results are better. We've heard of cats living much longer than projected. This formula supports the entire Kidney Meridian (This is a system in TCM: Traditional Chinese Medicine) and the urinary tract. This beautiful formula also supports the thyroid.
As we age, cats included, things don't work or feel quite like they used to. There are new aches and pains. We feel sluggish and tire easily. It takes longer to recover from minor traumas or illness. We get stiff and lose flexibility. It seems like every body part just doesn't want to work anymore. There's nothing worse than feeling old and slow, no wonder the elders are often crabby. We took inspiration for this formula from our friend Rita Wood, owner of Purrever Ranch in Collierville TN. Rita does cat rescue and only takes in geriatric cats. She shared with us some of the challenges associated with caring for the elders and Cat Faeries wanted to help. So we made this formula. Rita told us of cats who got off their heating pads, cats whose fur improved, cats who wanted to be social again, cats whose appetites came back, and so much more. We are so proud of this elder supporting formula, we hope your aging cats will feel the magical spring in their step once again!

Four Paws, Five Directions: Traditional Chinese Medicine for Cats and Dogs
By Cheryl Schwartz, DVM
$29.99
This is a highly recommended book!
We are so very lucky that Cheryl is an old friend and is one of our veterinarians. We know it’s a combination of her treatments and insights, plus the great diet, flower essences and so forth that we do for our cats which is why their longevity is amazing and overall their health is good, or what problems they do have are lessened and are easy to manage.
Learn how to do acupressure massage on your cat. Cheryl’s diagrams make it easy pie. The pressure you apply to the cat’s body is feather light, the movements are graceful and soothing, and the results are quick and amazing. The ritual of sitting with your cat and doing this wondering work will boost your own immunity because it’s so loving and positive.
The book also contains much about herbs and other modalities.
Cheryl knew she had to write this book when she learned that nothing like it existed for animals, even in China. Her book is now a textbook at the Chinese schools of acupuncture, as well as the schools worldwide.
We anticipate hosting Cheryl for classes for lay people. The San Francisco location and dates will be announced as soon as possible.
Cat grass is a very important part of a cat’s diet. It’s full of vitamins and minerals that they may not get from either homemade/raw food or commercial cat food. Ever wonder why your cat might like to chew on houseplants? They need the chlorophyll just like we do. And the greens help them pass fur balls. Houseplants are potentially dangerous. If your cat goes outside and nibbles on lawn, it is not safe as it could be full of pesticides or herbicides. Now with these seeds keeping a crop of very safe, healthful grass going for your cat year round is easy pie!
Botanical Interests selected a species of oat grass that really appeals to cats. The blades are smooth and delicious. And for we humans it’s so easy to grow. All you need is a 6 inch flower pot – no green thumb is required! Best of all its grown indoors and it can grow in any climate. Many years ago we sold wheat grass seed and one of our most loyal customers lived at The North Pole. If she could grow it there, anyone in the lower 48 can grow it too!
Seeds are untreated. No GMOs. Instructions are printed on the package. Makes a great gift!

I have a cat who was a rescue and she is timid. I dogsit my catsitter's two dogs sometimes, and it stresses my cat out, and she would hide in the bedroom. I played just the little tiny clip of the cat music and she went prrt! and came out with her tail up and calmly claimed her own own place in the living room with me AND with the dogs, with no hissing. I kept replaying the clip. It was phenomenal. I'm buying that music!
