Products
Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel
I used this for Momo’s surgery incision after having his stitches removed to promote healing and help with itchiness and discomfort.
Mushroom-based, immune and general health supplements with a specially-crafted product bundle for battling cancer.
Fera Pet Organics Immune Booster Supplement
Momo loves this one! It contains goat’s milk and turkey tail mushroom, which both offer lots of health benefits. It’s also quite a tasty treat for them.
Huggibles Tasty Topper Senior Vitality Blend Supplement
This is the salmon oil supplement I add to Momo’s food. It has a few other beneficial ingredients, and the product claims to “help relieve inflammation, fight free radicals and promote senior vitality, longevity and mobility.”
After his diagnosis, I got Momo the comfiest, cuddliest bed. I found this one at my local Homegoods store. He loves it! It’s very padded and bolstered and is a good place to rest and recover.
These freeze-dried treats are without a doubt Momo’s favorite treats. Sometimes I’ll crush one up and sprinkle it over his food.
Tiki Cat Silver Comfort Supplement
These are great treats or food-toppers to get some calories and nutrition in to your cat, especially if they have a low appetite.
Feliway Optimum Enhanced Diffuser
Great for creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat.
