I’m so glad and delighted that Juno’s cat food brand, Fur/Ball, listens to feedback from cat parents and has now removed salt from their recipe!!!

When Juno had the coccidia infection which was really serious, I took her off raw food and learnt my lesson. Coccidia is a parasite that is present in raw meat, but most cats can overcome this parasite without any problems. Unfortunately, Juno could not, and she had a really bad infection which landed her (and me, in accompanying her) in hospital. Luckily and thankfully for our vets’ expertise, Juno pulled through but since then, I’ve learnt my lesson.
Even Juno herself steers clear of raw food now. She won’t touch it at all. None of our other cats had any coccidia infection even though they all ate the same food as Juno. It was just Juno alone; maybe her immunity wasn’t as good at that time (she was below 6 months old then). Actually, the Monsters and the Blondies (they were all born in our house) grew up on a raw diet and all of them did not have any issue.
But, Juno did.
So anyway, after that, I searched high and low for cooked food for Juno. I could make my own homecooked food with chicken, but I needed protein rotation for her too. That’s when I found Fur/Ball, a local cat food brand (they only make cat food) started by a medical doctor (not a vet, but a human doctor).
And Juno’s been eating Fur/Ball since then, with some canned food and kibble. All cooked. Nothing raw.
But Fur/Ball had a wee bit of salt, so I communicated with the founder to learn more about why salt was added.
In any case, I’m ecstatic that the salt has been removed now!!
Take a look:
Fur/Ball removed the salt and sunflower oil. They also upgraded the packaging to industry standard 11c.
It comes in four flavours. Juno likes the chicken best. I’ve just placed an order to try out their new salt-free recipe. Will update after I’ve received it and Juno has eaten it. Tabs, the Blondies and the Monsters like it too. However, all of them still need variety, so they rotate among a few brands. Riley – conversion in progress! She’s a tough one.
