From a hoarder’s crate to her mom’s lap, Abby the Persian cat’s story
Inspiring Pet Tails 5 min readIt’s been a year since the big “Persian Rescue” at the Arizona humane society. Abby is one of the 75 Persian cats rescued from this abusive hoarding situation. As a kitten, all Abby knew in the world was a hard iron crate. For the first 3 years of her life, she could barely turn around.
Not all cats made it out alive. But those who did were all adopted. Cat mom Allison didn’t have to think twice before deciding to bring a baby home from this rescue. She picked Abby because Abby suffered from severe infections and had cysts in the ears. She knew there’d be fewer takers for her. Abby came home to her two other cats Jonathan and Jeffrey. The first time Allison kissed Abby it scared the poor little girl so much she jumped out of her arms.
She hid behind a dresser for almost a month. I had recently lost my James, and it was hard to connect to a Persian cat that wasn’t responding to me at all.
But Allison didn’t stop loving her. Imagine not knowing the warm touch of a human hand or the friendly tugs of another paw. Abby needed time and Allison gave her all and more. This beautiful kitty started slowly opening up to a life outside the crate.
She’s a happy, loving Persian cat that has learned to trust again.
She now spends her days playing with her cat brothers, stealing kisses from her mom, getting belly rubs, and letting her mom slowly heal her, from the inside out. Abby’s nervous days are in the past. Who could imagine Abby would come so far and become the sweetest cat Allison had ever had? Oh, the miracle of love!
She’s the light of my life. She’s a happy, loving Persian cat that has learned to trust again. She greets me every day when I come home. We definitely saved each other. She helped me refocus after James’s death, and I saved her, showing her there was love and happiness in this life for her.
Originally Allison reached out to us looking for diet tips to support all her cats. Jeffery is a Maine coon mix and had matting and hairball issues. Johnathan is a healthy kitty with no known issues but Allison just wanted something to support him overall. And the little girl Abby still had eye infections.
Our pet specialists spoke with Allison extensively and over time we decided to supplement their diet with PetOmega3. It would be great for all 3 of her babies. It’s good for kidneys, and the heart, it’s also good for skin conditions and it’s anti-cancer. We also gave her some suggestions for home-cooked food that all 3 kitties could benefit from. Since Abby’s eyes seemed to be quite an issue it only seemed right to address this right away.
A Persian cat has a flat, pushed-in face which, in some cases, can lead to issues with the drainage of their tears and tear staining. Persians are also prone to other hereditary eye conditions that can result in excess tearing and eye infections. Poor Abby’s neglected start to life aggravated these eye issues. Allison had been to vets who treated her for allergies but nothing seemed to work well enough. Abby’s eyes continued to weep and ache.
NHV EY-Eas is a gentle non-irritating formula that supports the management of uncomfortable swelling, soothes uncomfortable itching, and helps control increased discharge to restore eyes back to a healthy state. Allison decided to give our herbal eye drops a shot.
We also recommend our newest supplement, OcuLove. It is formulated to help with eye health and promote eyesight. This all-natural product contains a blend of herbs that have been used for centuries for eye health and have beneficial properties like helping to reduce inflammation and irritation, promoting healthy tear production, and encouraging healthy blood flow in the eyes.
Within 3 days her eyes were looking better! Not only are Abby’s eye infections letting up, but the constant weeping has also subsided, and that was something we struggled with daily.
Abby is a special little girl in so many ways and for so many reasons. We are honored to play a small role in helping this baby girl live better. The world needs more people like Allison. Abby benefited from using the Ey-Eas. She and her 2 brothers have all been doing extremely well taking the PetOmega3.
Update – November 2018
FYI…. your product Stimmune has made all the difference in the WORLD for Abby. I actually had not realized how much, until I was out of it for 3 weeks. Lol. A common thing that Abby did was sneeze quite often and she’d scratch her face. The stimmune cut about 95% of that out!! She’s now doing it again, but I had run out of stimmune and had not ordered any more. Off to place an order 😊👏👏
If your pet is suffering from eye infections or needs to supplement their diets to help with longevity to keep our furry friends healthy and stay with us as long as possible!! Some other products that would benefit these cat siblings? Hairb-Ez for her kitty with hairball issues, this blend helps cats expel hairballs easily and gradually reduces and stops the incidents because it promotes lubricated intestinal movement and lets the hairballs break down and expel in their poop.
Turmeric would be great as anti-inflammatory support and works for a host of health functions. It’s great as a preventative and overall promotes a healthy life! We are going to stay close to Allison and keep doing what we can to keep this family, naturally healthy. Please send this family all your love too and reach out to us if you know of a Persian kitty whose eyes might need help.

Our omega 3 fish oil for dogs is a great source of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid 600mg) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid 460mg) essential fatty acids. This fish oil supplement for dogs is derived from sardines, anchovies and North Atlantic cod liver oil. It is molecularly distilled and cold pressed to improve the bioavailability of the omega 3 fatty acids, and is medical and human grade quality.

Processed pet foods have increased omega-6 fatty acids, and decreased omega-3 fatty acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, "It is very important to maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. A proper balance helps maintain and even improve health." Your dog’s body cannot easily make essential fatty acids. It is vital to provide omega 3 fish oil for dogs as an added supplement to your pet’s daily diet.
The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine has published studies on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils) for arthritis and degenerative joint disease in dogs. The studies showed that dogs who were given omega 3 fatty acids had a significantly improved ability to get up from a resting position and marked improvement in walking ability.

How the NHV Puppy and Kitten Health Starter Kit Support Overall Health and Vitality
Puppies and kittens have very sensitive GI tracts, and they love to lick, gobble and chew on things that they aren’t supposed to (like poop), so they are prone to having worm or parasite infections, and upset tummies. Ingredients like elecampane, celandine, milk thistle, and wormwood in Inulin-PK are very gentle aids that encourage the healthy elimination of worms and parasites while helping to maintain a healthy gut. Multi Essentials helps your pet get extra vital nutrients and minerals, which may improve nutrient absorption and metabolism, leading to increases in energy levels and overall vitality. In Petomega 3, the EPA and DHA omega 3s provide critical building blocks for healthy skin development in the coat, eye, heart, and brain, as well as support healthy immune response. Plantaeris contains herbs like thyme which promotes digestion by relaxing muscle cramping and Mullein soothes and lubricates delicate intestinal mucosa while providing gentle support for diarrhea.
