You may have fed a stray cat or dog here or there. It’s a tough life out there for strays, but there are always big hearts who want to help these four-legged wanderers. Tamela is one such kind soul.
Bailey the cat’s tale begins in Tamela’s shed, where he was born. The two grew a strong bond over the years based on mutual trust, and that bond helped them get through one of their scariest trials: leukemia in cats.
When Tamela found out little Bailey had feline leukemia, she worried for the little creature she helped raise from kittenhood
From Feral Kitty to House Cat
Tamela shares how these two met, and eventually became friends:
Four years ago during the Fall Season, a beautiful feral female stray Shyly visited our backyard… She began to spend a lot of time in our wood shed. Soon we found a black n white, runt kitten
Cats really know how to find the right people; Tamela and her husband nurtured this semi-feral cat, who was never taught that us humans could be okay. Soon enough, he would know them as family. And four years later, the bond they formed would save his life as he would rely on Tamela for help with his biggest challenge yet: cat leukemia.
What is Leukemia in Cats?
Feline leukemia is a viral illness that only affects cats. Sadly, this disease is quite common, and it is the second largest cause of death in cats. It can cause other issues, like anemia, as well as weakening the immune system.
So when Tamela found out little Bailey had feline leukemia, she worried for the little creature she helped raise from kittenhood.
Bailey and The Battle with Leukemia in Cats
A parent never believes their child (or fur child) will get sick. A cold maybe and move on…keep being a happy kid. Well, a month ago, Bailey had more than a cold, he was sleeping too much, not eating; his eyes not Crystal clear alerted me. I thought his check up would be a flu. I was heartbroken to learn his red blood cells count was 27, a week later, only 19. He had Leukemia. We were told to spend as much quality time with him and prepare. Days spent crying.
Any pet-parent who has been through that knows how heart-wrenching this feeling is. However scary and upsetting this must have been for them, Tamela refused to say goodbye. Instead, they rallied.
My husband is a hero to me for finding NHV. We spoke of research and there has to be something more to help Bailey. He read to me the story of a mother and her cat had Leukemia. The Felimm supplement she wrote cured her fur baby. After he called NHV and spoke to a counselor, he was instructed to not purchase another more expensive nutrient by NHV, and to give Bailey Felimm for Leukemia and Hearty-Heart for his enlarged heart.
Felimm is our main support for the symptoms of leukemia in cats, with well-known herbs like turmeric, aloe, burdock, and more. Hearty-Heart is a gentle natural supplement to help with a variety of heart conditions, or as a pro-active heart measure.
A Fairy “Tail” Ending
After starting their new supplement regimen, Tamela reported great success!
We’re delighted to see the wonderful improvements with our precious Bailey since starting his natural NHV regimen. His glassy eyes have cleared so much, he can jump from floor to counter again, he loves going outdoors again, his appetite has increased and he cuddles every night. Seeing him play and run again each day is a wish come true. In another month or so we plan to have him evaluated by his veterinarian and see how he has improved. This natural NHV regimen has given his spirit back and helped him be healthier. Thank you NHV !

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.
