As far as I know all rendering plants use euthanized pets from shelters, vets, farms, they use road kill and who knows what else they DON'T admit to. And as far as I know any pet food that has by-products in it is processed with rendered product. If the label say's by or even meat products

I'm not very up to date on reading the posts lately so may easily have missed something ... but most of us have our FIV+ mixed with our negatives unless the positive is aggressive since it usually takes a deep bite to pass the disease.  FeLV+ is more contagious and not as many are mixed with

Thank you for responding.  Theoretically, yes, unless there do have a bite wound by the positive cat, the FIV should not be transmitted easily to negative cats.  I also read research where they mix positives and negatives where they did not see apparent fighting or biting, and some % of th

on the other paw, nina (that phrase is how you can tell i'm a libra)--sometimes i think we judge a cat's comfort needs in our terms rather than in theirs. WE may not want to live in one room, but for someone who's never known regular shelter, food, care, warmth--perhaps it IS enough for them. a

MC, You're absolutely right, it does depend on the cat. Every being is an individual and I've met my share of loners. I can guarantee you that my Ursula would much prefer to be an only cat. I was trying to "train" her out of her surly behavior to some of our other cats, and secluded her in t
