Contacting Me...
Please note:
I try and answer all emails as quickly as I can manage.
Please bear in mind, however, that I am not a vet and will not and cannot
offer I've learned over the years that about 95 percent of the questions
in the emails I get are *already* answered on my site. That said, of course
I understand folks' need for some personal contact, support, and tailored
information. I realize it can take awhile to go through all the information
on my site, but it's really quite well-organized and the FAQs
link really DOES cover the waterfront on everything from how safe raw feeding
is, how to switch a reluctant cat over to a better diet, how much to feed
and how often, what to do if you're 'grossed out' by the idea of making your
own cat food, where you can buy some good pre-made raw food if you don't want
to make it yourself, where to get supplies, what grinder works well, how much
to feed, and how to talk to your veterinarian.
Bear in mind that I am not a veterinarian nor a specialist on every feline ailment. I can answer questions about making the diet that I've grown to love and have fed very successfully for seven years, but please don't ask me to re-engineer a homemade diet from scratch based on another recipe. Also, I beg you, please don't ask me to interpret your cat's latest bloodwork results, phone your vet, or make specific recommendations on what medications to give your cat. I feel so badly when people send me detailed information with their cats' BUN and creatinine numbers or share some complicated medical procedure results and are desperate for guidance. But I simply won't and can't offer advice on issues that I am not qualified to address.
So? If you've checked the FAQs to see if your question is already answered, and you aren't expecting medical advice for your cat? Then email me! But please be patient -- I get overwhelmed with emails now and again. I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
