			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/pic1cap.jpg" alt="pic1cap" title="pic1cap" width="248" height="274" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11927" />One of our Facebook fans, Sandra King Abernathy from Auburn, California, bought Halo for her three cats and here&#8217;s what she had to say:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I finally found Halo pet food for my cats, and all three of them LOVE it!!! I put two bowls down. One bowl of the old cat food they loved, and a bowl of the Halo. And they all chose the HALO!! It makes me happy too, knowing they are eating cat food that is good for them without all the garbage!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The orange cat is a male named &#8220;Tiggee&#8221;. The female is the white cat with black named &#8220;Baby Girl&#8221;. Sandra raised Tiggee and Baby Girl since they were only 5 days old. Their mother was abandoned, and she gave birth to these kittens. She was almost starving and so she didn&#8217;t have milk.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/sherwood.jpg" alt="sherwood" title="sherwood" width="199" height="267" class="alignright size-full wp-image-11929" />Sandra began to feed her, and took the kittens to the vet. Then she bottle fed Tiggee and Baby Girl every 3 hours, night and day, and burped them, etc. They just turned 4 on July 16th this year. They are still referred to as &#8220;The Babies.&#8221;</p>
<p>The gray cat is &#8220;Sherwood&#8221;. Sandra only had him a month. The man who lived in the apartment next door to her was put in a home and they abandoned Sherwood. So she took him in to be with her other cats.</p>
<p>&#8220;We love our Cats!  And they love Halo! Thank you for such a quality product,&#8221; continues Sandra.</p>
<p>Thank you Sandra for sharing your story!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/oldCat-Rescue2.jpg" alt="oldCat-Rescue2" title="oldCat-Rescue2" width="225" height="261" class="alignright size-full wp-image-11637" /><strong>Question</strong>: Hello, not sure if anyone reads these, but I thought I would give it a try. My 16 year old cat, Max, is developing early kidney disease. I was wondering if you could tell me what would be your most appropriate formula of canned food for his condition. Thank you very much for your time.</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: Thanks for writing in.  I want to be clear that Halo does not make medical or prescription diets and you should ask your veterinarian about our diets as every cat with kidney disease is slightly different in their dietary requirements or restrictions.  Cats with kidney disease often benefit from additional water for hydration and lower protein levels to decrease the work-load of the kidneys.</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Canned-Cat-Food"><strong>Our canned formulations</strong></a> are very high in moisture and can be quite good at maintaining adequate hydration.  Our lowest protein cat foods are the <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Canned-Cat-Food/Wholesome-Lamb-Recipe-3-5oz"><strong>canned lamb formula</strong></a> followed by the <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Canned-Cat-Food/Cat-Canned-Turkey-3-5oz"><strong>canned turkey formula</strong></a> and can be used successfully in some cats with kidney problems.  </p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br />

Can you recommend one you think she might eat? </p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: I am assuming you have tried the <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Canned-Cat-Food"><strong>Halo Spot’s Stew for cats</strong></a>….some cats find it a bit too brothy and chunky.  I have had success with those picky kitties by putting it briefly in a blender to reduce the chunk size.  You can also try heating up the food a bit…some cats really love the aroma that the fresh wholesome ingredients give off.  </p>
<p>You can also sprinkle Halo’s protein powder (called <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Treats/Dinner-Party-Chicken"><strong>Dinner Party</strong></a>) on top to make it more appetizing!  Another diet you might try is the Evo 95% canned cat food line.  Many of my pickier cat friends like that one.  </p>
<p>Hope that helps.  Take care.<br />
