arthritis support
Sweet, lovable, and unique. Our feline friends have always had a way of pulling on our heartstrings. Our friend Maria definitely agrees with us! Maria has devoted her life to taking care of cats in need and we know all her rescue cats love and appreciate her so much. Keep reading to learn about her amazing story!
How We Met
Roughly 73 million cats in the United States are feral or unowned.
We first met Maria back in 2019 and we could tell right away that she was a dedicated cat lover! Maria has worked for a vet clinic for over 32 years and has been volunteering at a no-kill shelter for over 11 years. She’s a strong advocate for kitties and is constantly spreading the word for cats who need a home or donations. Can you believe she’s saved over 25 kitties? We were so excited to work with her and learn more about her own little ones! While Maria is looking after a bunch of kitties, here are just a few that we’d love to highlight!
The Rescue Cats
Daddy Cat
Just like some of his fursiblings, Daddy Cat was a feral kitty until about two years ago. Not long after Maria brought him in, she said he started acting strangely. Maria took him to the vet and it turned out that her sweet boy had extensive heart problems that were, unfortunately, impossible to medicate. She asked us for help to keep him as happy and as comfortable as possible and he started taking Hearty-Heart and Turmeric. When used together, these two supplements can help to promote heart health, relieve discomfort, and reduce inflammation.
Daddy cat is still taking his turmeric and hearty heart. Doing okay on those for right now.
Fluffy Girl
Maria’s sweetheart, Fluffy Girl, is a real fighter and we’re so proud of her and all her accomplishments. Fluffy Girl was a feral cat when Maria first found her and it took Maria six months in total to rescue her. The road has not been an easy one for this little kitty as she’s already gone through three surgeries, major dental extractions, and stomatitis. On top of that, Fluffy Girl was diagnosed with mammary tumors, heart issues, and dental disease, but that’s never made Maria and her furkiddo lose hope. We recommended ES-Clear, Turmeric, Hearty-Heart, and Milk Thistle. These powerful supplements can all help to reduce discomfort and inflammation, all while supporting important organs like the heart and liver.
Pogo – “Pogie”
Pogo is a very loving boy but sometimes, just like us humans, he can be a little grumpy. Pogo was upset about being around his fursiblings and started to pee all over the house. Like any good furparent, Maria ruled out any underlying conditions first like a urinary tract infection. Once she knew it was all behavioral, we recommended she try our Matricalm formulation. Matricalm is our main support for kitties dealing with aggression and anxiety as the herbs in this blend can help to promote calmness and reduce agitation.
We wanted to give a huge shout-out to Maria for all the incredible work she’s done for all of the rescue cats that she’s saved over the years. She’s really helped to give these sweethearts a second chance at a better life and our hearts are so warm just thinking about all the difference she’s made in the world! Thank you so much, Maria!

Benefits of Using Turmeric for Cats Daily
What goes into your cat’s body every day will make a difference when it is time to fight a disease, or when they already have one. That’s why NHV supplements are designed to be given each and every day for things like:
Joint Support: can be used for supporting cats with arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Cancer Support: can cats with cancer use turmeric? Yes! Turmeric can be used as a companion supplement to veterinary care for cats who have cancer. In fact it can help scavenge for free radicals and is rich in antioxidants.
Discomfort Support: may help to ease discomfort related to inflammation, like the kind caused by arthritis, cancer, or other inflammatory conditions.
It can even be used proactively before your furry friend becomes sick in the first place by giving them a regular boost of natural goodness!
Healing Properties of Turmeric
Turmeric itself is a root with vibrant orange-golden flesh. It’s golden in the world of herbalism for pets with its many healing properties.
- Can help arthritic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties and COX2 inhibitors
- Can support autoimmune disorders by potentially improving the signaling pathways of immune cells
- Can benefit cats with cancer due to its antioxidant content
- Can support liver disorders through detoxification
- Can support heart conditions through improved circulation
- Can help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) which cats are prone to
- Can help reduce the risk of blood clotting
One of turmeric’s most well-recognized healing properties is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants can help scavenge for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that cause damage to the cells. The free radical scavenging properties of turmeric can support the body in processing and removing these molecules, minimizing the damage they can do.

Hawthorne – Is considered to be one of the best herbs for fortifying the heart and supporting your veterinarian’s recommended cat heart disease treatment. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what the feline heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduce activity. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. Hawthorne works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the cat’s body. It helps regulate your cat’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. Hawthorne also has a soothing and sedative effect, which helps reduce stress.
Balsam Poplar – Stimulates circulation and supports blood flow. Balsam Poplar has been popular, historically, amongst the indigenous population in North America for coughs. It’s also been used as food for horses. Balsam Poplar has strong anti-inflammatory and may help with discomfort.
Hops – Helps relax tension and anxiety while supporting circulation.
Valerian – Helps manage heart palpitations and regulates the nervous system. Valerian plays a vital role in the nervous system by gently calming the nerves, which helps a cat's body to physically relax.
Woody Betony – This herb is one of the most valued in herbal medicine and has been used for centuries for over forty ailments! It acts as a mild stimulant to the heart. It is a nerve tonic that nourishes and builds vital energy. Woody Betony contains glycosides, which may help reduce blood pressure in cats, aiding in cat heart disease treatment.
Lobelia – Causes immediate relaxation and expansion of the respiratory system that allows oxygenated blood to flow freely. It helps with circulation and reduces agitation in cats.
European Mistletoe – Helps control tachycardia, relaxes spasms and hypertension. A cardiotonic that has been used for centuries.
Motherwort – Has a strengthening effect, especially on a weak heart. It helps sooth and relaxes the heart muscle. Motherwort helps maintain a regular heartbeat and lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
Pulsatilla – This herb is known to be antispasmodic, which is considered to be beneficial in cat heart disease treatment by relaxing the heart muscle and helping to soothe and relieve coughing. Pulsatilla also has a sedative effect that helps ease coughing.
