Cats protection league
Hello all
I recently got a cat from the cats protection league (she is very cute by the way - sorry have to tell everyone) and when I picked her up they told me that she loves IAMS. Has anyone else got a cat from the CPL? If so what food did they suggest for your cat. I was wondering if they were sponsered by IAMS in return for telling people to give their cats IAMS.
Thanks

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that IAMS does animal testing and keeps the dogs and cats in cages. Ever since then I cannot bring myself to buy IAMS and in a way it was good because my Lexi didn't like it anyway.
Good look with your new baby!! :)
We weren't told anything about what to feed her, but we've found she has an extremely healthy appetite and has eaten almost everything we've given her. We've tried her on everything from Morrisons own "My Cat" to Whiskers and she scoffs the lot. There's only one she doesn't seem to like and that's Arthurs. I've never tried her with Iams as it's a bit pricey.
As well as the soft catfood there's a small dish of crunchies she can nibble on throughout the day. And of course any titbits she gets from us --- roast chicken, fresh fish, tin tuna (in springwater of course), smoked mackerel, roast pork, cheese, lamb chops, pilchards ankles, cuddly toys, fingers etc etc etc. ;0)
Good luck with your new cat. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with her.
Comments re. Iams business here: http://www.uncaged.co.uk/iams.htm with all the reasons to boycott them.
CPL aren't 'funded' by Iams but if anyone offers to support their cause, as a charity they do need to look at the opportunity and if such a business comes along then sometimes ethics may take a different aspect, based on the fact that the quality of food for animals must be proven - but there are better ways thatn the practices of Iams as can be found with a little effort from the petowner.
Hills are in similar position, and they seem to have the vets market totally covered.
Iams are in the UK trade association for pet food manufacturers : http://www.pfma.com/public/welcome.htm and thier link is on the CPL site at: http://www.cats.org.uk/index.asp but this doesn't imply they take funding from Iams.
And my 2 little furry biscuit barrels are the cutest - don't argue...
i have been petitioning at my local Tesco shop to ask them to stop selling such unethical food, and I've asked all my friends not to buy it.
I hope this helps. Your cat will soon adjust to any other food you try! Mine love Purina, which is very siilar to Iams.
Cheers
