ROSCOE HEALS FROM LOVE, HOME COOKING AND HALO

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.

Both rescues keep the animals they save in a network of foster homes until they are adopted, and provide any needed medical care. On the website of 11th Hour Rescue, their philosophy is poignantly described:
And at least for awhile, many of 11th Hour’s and PAL’s dogs will have Halo holistic food to feast on. “I had never seen it before, and when I opened up a can, I couldn’t believe it,” says Severud. “I said to my husband, ‘You could pour it over rice and have dinner!’ The food has been a huge blessing, one thing we didn’t have to worry about.”
