September 2011 - Oldest living cat Tucker-Sox.

I too am looking for more info on the type of homeopathic treatment that worked for kidney failure. Please email tjcarst at hotmail dot com if anyone has more information.

I am looking to e-mail Patty Gregg of Erie, PA the owner of Tucker-Sox, 23 in the September issue. She took Tucker-Sox to a homeopathy specialist as he had renal failure. Our lovely Fluffia is 17 years old and has the first signs of it. She is healthy otherwise. She fell down some very high stairs after having a tooth removed and developed this right after. She has a strong will to live and we want to help her the best we can. She doesn't seem to like the food they think she should eat. Her only symptom is going to the restroom a lot. She isn't diabetic. We had all the tests run. I don't know much about homeopathy. What type of therapy did your pet receive? I'm in KS and close to the MO border. Thanks for your help!

Senior cats are the best! We adopt only older cats. We volunteer at our public shelter. How do we get people to adopt the older cats? It seems that few people will take even a five year old. It's so discouraging...beautiful animals without a home.
