CatSure®

Cats in need of rescue often enter shelters with a range of health issues and adopting a sheltered cat may require the new owner to provide extra care for their new furry companion. CatSure is the only liquid product available that can serve as a nutritional meal replacement solution for ailing or aging pets that can’t or have lost their desire to eat. The highly palatable, vanilla-flavored liquid was formulated with high quality protein to help maintain muscle mass and body systems in sick or older cats. The product also includes fats and structured carbohydrates that provide a more uniform release of glucose and energy delivery throughout the day. CatSure may also be mixed with a cat’s normal food and offers a good source of DHA, which studies have shown improves memory in aging cats. Each can provide two-to three servings.
