BREAKING NEWS: Radagast Pet Food, Inc. of Portland, Oregon has announced a voluntary recall of four lots of its Frozen Rad Cat Raw Diet, which may be contaminated by Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.

You’re welcome, and glad all your furbabies are doing well.
Diana that is the funniest thing I have seen all day!!! This is GREAT news for you Listeria WILL go away not without agony but it does go away!!! Hopefully it will not recur come November for another 4 years!!!
Uh oh, I’d better call Grandma up right now.
Good thing she doesn’t own a Cat.
(Just a Joke)
Oh yes! Now just ferals which I protect in my garage. At one time a cattery. Persians n exotic shorthairs bred
sticking with Friskies dry seafood sensations mixed with a can of FanciFeast
Reminder my vet told me a few years ago that commercial cat food is nutritionally complete including ash content. Years ago this was an issue but no more.
AND....its a heck of a lot cheaper....they like the fifty cents a can stuff more than the two dollars a can stuff.
Dont waste your money, save it for a new rug cat tree etc.
LOL!
Him, of course!
