Wellness Cat Food Formulas

Old Mother Hubbard has several different types of cat food formulas available in their Wellness line of products. All of the Wellness Cat Food formulas are manufactured to be free from corn, soy, wheat, and meat by-products. In addition to this, Wellness Cat Food does not contain any artificial colors, preservatives, artificial flavors, or color dye. Old Mother Hubbard also has specifically stated that their products are not made from protein sources that have been previously treated with steroids or artificial hormones.

Wellness Feline Dietary Solutions – Complete health is available in both a Chicken and a Salmon variation. These formulas are suitable for all cats with a moderate activity level, and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The first three ingredients in the Salmon formula are protein-based, as are the first two ingredients in the Chicken formula.

Wellness Feline Dietary Solutions – Healthy Weight is a specialized formula for cats that are overweight (or may be in danger of becoming overweight). This formula can be used for cats that have a sedentary lifestyle, and require a lower caloric intake than other cats.

Wellness Feline Dietary Solutions – Indoor Health is designed for the specialized nutritional needs of indoor cats. This involves hairball control, weight control, and maintaining a healthy urinary tract. Indoor health boasts a lower calorie formula to help control weight, as well as a high fiber content to help pass hairballs through the digestive tract.

Wellness Feline Dietary Solutions – Kitten health is designed for kittens up to one year of age. Since kittens have different nutritional needs than adult cats, it’s highly recommended to feed them a specialized formula for the first year of their lives. An important part of this formula is the inclusion of DHA fatty acid, which is also found in a kitten’s mother’s milk.

If you are looking for a quality premium cat food product, Wellness has cat food for every step of your cat’s life.

Cat Enclosures For Cat Breeders

As a cat breeder, you will inevitably have to seclude or confine some of your breeding stock. All cat breeders know that it is often difficult to confine a male stud in a place that will keep him happy, healthy and occupied. There are many ways you can alter your home to suit your cattery needs, but sometimes it’s not possible (financially or otherwise) to change the format of your home. So most cat breeders create or purchase some form of cat enclosure.

There are many ways to make a home-made version of a cat enclosure. Some are truly amazing and incredibly clever. You may see kittening rooms in closets, second bedrooms or basements. There are outdoor runs and enclosures for studs, which have their own indoor condo retreat when the weather isn’t agreeable. There are many kennel-like cattery enclosures that allow the cats to be indoors or outdoors as they wish. And of course there are many different commercial types of cat enclosures you can buy online or even at a local pet store.

While it seems most cat breeders opt for some form of do-it-yourself cat enclosure, there are very few places that you can buy a pre-made kit to be delivered to your door. The Cat’s Den is a company that’s been making custom cat enclosures since 2003. The company owner, Kris Kischer , founded The Cat’s Den and then Habitat Haven so she could share her home made enclosures with other pet owners seeking a safe haven for their pets. The product used is galvanized steel mesh to prevent rust, held together by clips that can easily be removed for expanding or dismantling your enclosure when you want to move it.

Habitat Heaven offers custom made and pre-made kits to suit any type of cat or cat breeder. The RV style pre-made enclosures are perfect for isolating a cat recently back from a cat show, or a new to the cattery breeding stock cat. The RV style is also great for a safe birthing area enclosure. For your studs, you may consider one of the many custom whether it is inside or out. No matter what kind of set up your cattery uses currently, Kris at Habitat Haven will be able to make suggestions for a custom design just right for your cattery. Your cat enclosure will be delivered to your door, or you may be able to book an installation by Habitat Haven, depending on where you live. A weekend to assemble your new enclosure is all it takes for a forever safe and happy Habitat Haven.
