Chronic Renal Failure in Cats

We were recently asked to cat sit for a cat that was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) – failure of the kidneys. Being diagnosed with this illness is emotionally and physically hard for the cat and the owner.

This case got me thinking a lot about the health of our own cats and how to prevent such a thing from happening to them and also what to do if (knock on wood) something like this were to happen to them.

I’ve included an informative link here below on some helpful information on Chronic Renal Failure:

Here’s hoping you never have to use this information.
