Special Care for Cats

Back in the early 2000s, I realized that I needed a proper isolation area for cats with occasional special needs. At that time, I was caring for anywhere between 9 and 12 cats at a time, many were rescues, and cleanliness was critical — especially since most of what occurred with the cats in my care were Upper Respiratory Infections (which is why I turned to Homeopathy and energy medicines; conventional veterinary drugs rarely helped and often created additional problems, while herbs or essential oils were often risky with cats). 

If you decide to provide care for animals with special needs or chronic illness, please be as prepared as possible to provide for them at home whenever you can because otherwise veterinary bills will overwhelm you (unless you're wealthy which we definitely were not).

With my husband’s help, we designed a four-unit Cattery Isolation Care Unit (CICU) in my Healing Room upstairs. 

Two-Fur Tips #1

 More than 25 years ago I began my intensive journey into helping animals heal. Like most people seeking a more natural approach to helping their dogs and/or cats attain optimum wellness for that individual, I started with herbs but quickly realized that these natural medicines could be problematic, especially in dosage, for many of our furry friends. I pivoted to energy medicines and am eternally grateful to have done so; this shift marked my entry in 1999 to both Flower Essences and Homeopathy. 

Here are my Two-Fur Tips for this Tuesday:

Is your cat displaying unexpected territorial behavior? Consider Dog Rose, Flannel Flower, and/Sturt Desert Rose. The blend you choose will depend on observation, animal communication, and trying to understand WHY the behavior is occurring.

Is your dog scared of thunderstorms? Consider Borax 30C, a Homeopathic remedy that has proven to significantly reduce the fear in many dogs fearful of loud noises including fireworks, gunfire, etc.

To learn more about Flower Essences and Homeopathy, see related posts in this blog, get some books (see Reference tab to start with), take a course, or seek out a professional.
