Stay safe, and call us if you have any questions on how you can protect your pets from Avian Influenza.

Department of Agriculture has reported that two cats from different households in Multnomah County became ill with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1) after eating the same raw food: Wild Coast LLC – Boneless Free Range Chicken Formula, Lots #22660 and #22664 – Best By Date 12/2025. Both cats were euthanized due to their illnesses. If you have either of these food lots, stop feeding it immediately.

Tips to help protect your pet from HPAI:
* Do not feed your pet undercooked or raw meat, including uncooked or freeze-dried meat-based diets, treats, or animal products.
* Do not feed your pet raw (unpasteurized) milk or colostrum.
* Prevent pets from eating birds or other wild animals.
* Wash your hands after touching raw meat and after interacting with poultry, livestock or animals outside your household.
* Consider changing clothing and shoes after interacting with animals or birds with unknown health status and before interacting with your own pets.
* Contact your veterinarian if your pet appears sick. Tell your veterinarian if your pet has been exposed to raw meat, raw milk, or wild waterfowl.

Lovable Poe is looking for his forever home.

We have been privileged to care for him since his reoccurring urinary obstruction required surgical intervention last year. He is fully recovered, with no further incidences, but will require a special urinary diet the rest of his life.

Noel has been taking wonderful care of him, but Poe has made his wishes to be an only cat very clear. Poe is great with dogs and kids!

If you're interested in welcoming him to your home, please contact Noel at 316-200-9318.

Heads up, this raw diet is dangerous to your cats. Until we get a handle on this HPAI virus I’d advise you to avoid raw diets for the kitties…..and maybe dogs though we’ve not seen a dog case yet to the best of my knowledge
