ROSCOE HEALS FROM LOVE, HOME COOKING AND HALO
July 9th, 2009 by Guest Blogger
This post comes to us from Lisa Whitted. Thanks for writing in with this wonderful story!
I first saw Roscoe while browsing the internet looking at pets for adoption. I wasn’t particularly looking to find a cat to take home, it had been 8 years since I had a cat, but when I came across Rosoce’s picture I knew I had too. When I inquired about him, I was told he was in quarantine and too sick for adoption. I persisted knowing that all he needed was lots of love and nutritous food. After about 10 days the shelter agreed to send him home with me.
He had upper respiratory problems. I immediately started him on Halo’s Spot’s Stew and began making the homemade recipes in Andi’s book. Each day he was getting better. I’ve included a picture from the day I took him home (the others are just cute!) I also started to give him Halo’s Daily Greens vitamins and Halo’s powdered vitamin C.
When I made the homemade recipes, I wasn’t sure how he would do with the vegetables. Without any encouragement he found the new food to his liking. The first time I made Spot’s Stew everything was in the pot cooking and my husband walked in the kitchen and had a taste of the stew and asked if it was dinner. I said no it’s the cat’s food! He had another taste.
Roscoe has been with me now for 9 months and will celebrate his first birthday this week. He continues to eat the homemade food as well as Halo’s Spot’s Stew canned and dry. He is a happy, healthy, energetic, social critter with personality that steals your heart.

I love all these stories.
My cat loves Halo Liv-A-Littles, Chicken.
Unfortunately the only food she eats, even with no joy and only enough to survive is Fancy Feast. I have tried all foods, organic, cooked, special, whatever anyone recommends and nothing works. Fancy feast had meat by-products, meaning junk and beef and horse and Goodnes knows what. Chessie came with the warming that they though she was allergic to beef. So there’s the problem, she only digns to eat junk, and it probably has beef.
She’s on Paxil and Xanax, and Gabapentin. This she’ll eat in her food, when she she’s at all. This mix, seems to have her happier than she’s been in the two years I’ve owned her. All are generic,except the Gabapentin, so I can afford this cocktail. We hope after a while to wean her. She still sucks her tail, whenever really happy, such as when I come home after a week away on business or vacation, or after I brush her, which she loves. She’s beginning to let some other people pet her, though not pick her up.
Thank goodness for the Liv-A-Littles , but any other suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
She, too, like Roscoe, was teribly abused when I got her. I knew she would take time, but the money and time have been enormous; bad teeth and gastric problems, etc.
