Are you as excited as I am?

Instinctive Choice canned cat food by Life’s Abundance is back and it is better than ever! Same formula with 2% more moisture which cats need. Some of us had a problem with a few of the cans previously. That has all been corrected by using firmer cans.

Why would anyone buy anything but Life’s Abundance.? Their products are absolutely the best: responsibly sourced ingredients, contains real meat (not byproducts) and full of the vitamins your cat needs and those vitamins work together. And it is delivered right to your door! And the employee owned company has great customer service!

Our babies got excited when I told them the news!

Life’s Abundance has successfully found a company that meets the quality standards for using their proprietary recipe to produce canned food. I know it has taken a long time but it is worth it to have the confidence in the food we feed our pets. This company is family owned and shares the core values that Life’s Abundance was looking for. Their facility is state of the art.

The first available is dog food: Pork & Venison which provides numerous vitamins and is easy to digest. It currently comes in twelve 13 oz. cans to a case (smaller cans will be available in the near future).

Edgar loves it!

Their next priority is our beloved cat food, Instinctive Choice! I know many of you are as excited as I am to learn this news. I will keep up with the announcements and let you know as soon as it is available. And I was told it will be soon!

Happy New Year!

After reading about the devastation caused by the tornadoes in the Midwest, I am concerned about you. Our Semper Fi Siberian pet families are still cherished by Jim and I.

I know many of you are without power, but when you are able, I would greatly appreciate you letting me know how you are doing.

In the meantime, I am praying for each of you.

Love, Nancy

It has been a long time since I posted a blog but thought many of you might be concerned about Jim and me and our Siberians.

Where we live was in the path of the eye of the hurricane. It was projected to go north of us but at the last minute it turned and hit Fort Myers. Even though we lost both our cars and have extensive damage to our home making it unlivable at the present time, we survived and so did our beautiful Siberians, Maggie and Sophie, and our adopted dog, Edgar.

We are very fortunate to have our motor home to live in for however long it takes to make the repairs. Many in this area are not so lucky; they lost everything.

Please know that we are fine physically and emotionally taking it one day at a time with the help of our Lord. Some of you have written letting us know you are praying for us. We so very much appreciate these prayers and ask that you continue not only for us but for all those affected by Ian. Thank you.

I am happy to post the following from Life’s Abundance.

field rep update Now Available!  Instinctive Choice Canned Cat Food  Great news! We have received our final supply of Instinctive Choice and it is available for new purchases.Customers may now purchase up to 7 cases of Instinctive Choice per order. We had previously capped it at 5 cases as a way to ensure that our limited supply was able to reach as many customers as possible.  This product did not escape a cost increase and new prices are in effect. Instinctive Choice is available while supplies last, as are the canned dog foods, Pork & Venison and Chicken & Crab. These are our own unique recipes, and they cannot be found elsewhere.Here are some things to remember:Dry Foods Are Available – We have secured raw materials supply for our dry foods to ensure availability through 2022. You and your customers can continue to count on us for your pet’s daily source of premium nutrition.Canned Foods In The Future – It is our intention to offer our premium canned recipes again in the future. However, because of current supply chain conditions, we cannot speculate as to when this might be. At this time, we have identified a couple of qualified manufacturers, however, they cannot take on any new production at this time. Others with availability simply do not meet our standards for quality and safety. At Life’s Abundance, the choice is clear – we will not pursue substandard products for the sake of profit.From all of the employee owners at Life’s Abundance, thank you for your ongoing support. 1/27/21 This email was sent to nanb41@comcast.netLife’s Abundance, Inc. Jupiter, Florida 33458

Several of our pet parents have recently contacted me with regard to Life’s Abundance announcement of the temporary discontinuance of canned pet foods. I, like you, was concerned to hear this because as you know from my preaching for many years, I truly believe Life’s Abundance is the best pet food you can choose for your pet.

First of all, I commend the company for making this decision. The decision was made based on their commitment to safety and quality instead of profit. They have never had a food recall and they want to keep it that way.

So what do we do in the meantime?

I talked to our vet and she recommended the following brands: Royal Canin, Hills Science Digest or Purina Pro Plan (not to be confused with the other Purnia products).

Then I called Life’s Abundance and although they, understandably, did not have another brand recommendation, they did say you can go on line to a pet food advisory site and look for recommendations based on what you want in your pet food. (I just caution you on this though because some of the advisory sites are run by pet food companies.) The Life’s Abundance representative I talked to said many of the employees are going to feed the dry food with the addition of a small amount of meat flavored baby food for the moisture content. Or you can use pumpkin or sweet potato.

So what am I going to do? I still have enough canned to last me for awhile and when that is done, I am going to go with the above that I purchased at the grocery store. Since the dry food is exceptional quality, I have every confidence this is the best for my girls, Sophie and Maggie, and for our new addition to the family, Edgar.

I applaud you and thank you for staying with Life’s Abundance! This is a small adjustment compared to the many changes all of us have had to make during the last almost two years. I believe, this too shall pass.”

Jim and I pray all is well with you and your family. We post this every year to remind you of the dangers of having lilies anywhere near your cat. Please do not bring a lily into your home.

Are lilies poisonous to cats?

The photos keep coming in to cheer me!

This is the girl that loved to get into our refrigerator! Brenda, is she maintaining her mischievous ways?

I remember that day well. We had two litters on the same day! The mother of Tasha and Ivan is Zhaklin (Jackie) and she patiently waited until Tatiana was done giving birth. I walked into Zhaklin’s birthing room, sat down on the floor with her and she immediately went into labor. She knew it was now safe to proceed!

Okay, now are you ready for this? Dogs have nothing on Siberians! Watch this training session sent in by Jane.

Jane says “Isn’t Garsha the most attentive student you ever saw? Luckily Madame Sabina has her good looks to get by on!”

Thank you to all Semper Fi Siberian families. Jim and I wish each of you a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving. 

Thank you to all who sent good wishes and more healing photos in response to my last post regarding my positive result for COVID-19.

(If you want to send additional photos, please read the note at the bottom of this post.)

Christy says  “my babies are thriving!💜 Juliet and Gingie love Alana’s bed, they even share sometimes.”

Kelly’s sent a photo of her beautiful black Siberian, Goose, to help in my recovery!

Lynn says, “Not a bad habit between them, and very smart, in addition of course to  stunningly beautiful, and amazingly loving.”

Robin sent these charming photos along with a note saying “During our recent yearly visit the vet said they were the healthiest animals he had seen all day!”

Hatch and Cholula

Kathryn says “Thank you for your post it reminds me of the great Siberian family that we are part of. We just love our girl, Saffron. She has really acclimated to our move to the Pacific Northwest! Surrounded by woods, Saffy is constantly looking outside at the mule deer and squirrels that visit us daily. She even acts as our “nightwatch-man” alerting us to racoons that pass through in the night. This past year brought another change for Saffy, she got a “little” brother! Archie, our Rough Collie is indoor entertainment for Saffy. They are a hoot to watch as they investigate and antagonize each other – safely of course.”

Nikki sent a photo of both Nikolai and Samara along with well wishes and love for a speedy recovery.

Mimi says “Below is a picture of Katya fulfilling one of her daily responsibilities: supervising me in the shower Or maybe guarding me , in case I might slip down the drain? In any event she is a bit unclear on the concept of bath mat.”

And from my very dear friend, Pastor Mary Alice, “Oh my friend, I just saw your email. I am so sorry you’re having to go through this. But I do know when we are at the lowest of low whether it’s illness or otherwise, our feline family really helps us. I’m sending you a picture of mine they’re saying hello get better.”

These beautiful cats are not Siberians but are very special to me so I know they will be to you also. Pastor Mary Alice wanted to adopt two kittens and I was honored she asked me to go to the shelters to help her in the selection process. I am trying to remember, was that 7 or 8 years ago? Look at them now!

Having viewed all these beautiful photos, is it any wonder my follow-up test on Thursday showed I am now NEGATIVE for COVID-19!
