A Stray Cat With Digestive Issues

A stray cat came to a friend’s house. She was very friendly, and she sat on their lap. She would gently rub across their legs. They gave her to me, and I named her Faith because I have Faith that she will get better. She could not keep any food down for about five days. She must have kept a small amount of the tuna and salmon I was feeding her. She had healthy-looking bowel movements. I was very concerned for her. My friends said that they would pay my vet bill. I took her to my vet to be tested for feline leukemia; luckily, that test returned negative. She also had a whole battery of blood tests. I have not yet received the test results since it takes one week to process them.

I had been feeding her the same dry cat food my other cats eat. She was so thin and emaciated that her stomach could not digest foods right from lack of food over a long period. I went to a pet store, and they suggested feeding her grain-free cat food. Faith has been able to keep all of her food down now. Her grain-free cat food is free from dyes and preservatives, and her stomach can digest it without any trouble. My vet said to keep on feeding her grain-free cat food.

I am sure she used to be a house cat someone no longer wanted or could not afford to keep. My vet said she was one year old. I had guessed her age to be about six months old. Poor Faith had to fend for herself for who knows how long. Faith would have starved to death had it not been for people intervening. As good stewards, we are to care for all of God’s crGod’sre,s tremendous and trim. I have Faith that Faith’s blood test will be OK and that I can provide her the loving home she desperately needs. Always have Faith.

Faith has now recovered from her ordeal. She has gained weight and has not vomited for over a month. With Faith, all things are possible. Faith has to be only the size of a mustard seed but can have huge rewards. Never lose Faith that things will get better.

I’m really grateful that you shared your experience. There’s a stray that I’ve grown attached to who comes by for food every day, and I’m worried about her. I’ll have to ask a vet about what type of grain-free cat food is the best.
