Posted @withrepost • @loveyourferalfelines It’s been a long kitten season, and we could use some help with food and litter to help keep the cats happy and well-fed while they wait to be adopted. Please consider donating litter or wet food from our Chewy Wishlist link in the @loveyourferalfelines bio 😺 Thank you for helping us keep these felines happy and healthy! 🙏🏻 #lyff #lyffcatrescue #loveyourferalfelines #donations #chewywishlist https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDEgdorYFv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stuff like this pisses me off. Cats are carnivores, not vegan. Feeding your cats a vegan diet WILL kill them. ************************ Regrann from @loveyourferalfelines - This week Team LYFF suffered a difficult and entirely preventable loss. One of our long-term foster kitties was switched to a vegan diet by his foster family (without approval from LYFF - we provide all fosters with the proper well-balanced diet for cats) . Zane, our beautiful boy, crossed the rainbow bridge years early due to ignorance. Our vets believe his organs shut down due to lack of proper nutrients. . We want to take a few minutes to educate you all on the importance of a well-balanced diet for animals. Cats are OBLIGATE CARNIVORES! Obligate meaning by necessity and biologically essential for survival. . Putting a cat on a vegan diet is a DEATH SENTENCE for them. It goes against their very physiology and forces them to try and digest something their bodies were not made to handle. They do not absorb the nutrients they need to survive and the resulting death is a slow process of their little bodies shutting down. Just as horses are herbivores, cats are carnivores and forcing them to eat against their nature is cruel and irresponsible. . We can’t be any more clear on this fact and their bodies require a diet that reflects that. Please, please, please consult your veterinarian before changing your pet's diet. All foods aren’t created equal. Read labels and don’t push your personal beliefs onto your animals - they can't tell you when they feel weak or malnourished. . We do not intend to offend anyone with this post. Our goal is to educate in order to help you all avoid the painful loss that we have just experienced. . Please also take some time to read this informative article that goes into more of the science behind why cats should not be put on vegan diets —> https://www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/cat/dr-coates/2014/march/what-makes-cats-carnivores-31467 #lyff #lyffcatrescue #loveyourferalfelines #catarecarnivores - #regrann
