Every cat and every human at Cat Faeries has been taking Vital Choice salmon oil and is feeling great. Hair and fur gleams. Skin is soft and supple. Joints are looser. Old age aches and pains are lessened.

In our opinion every living thing can benefit from salmon oil, especially when it’s the right salmon oil, wild Alaskan salmon harvested humanely and produced by a company known for being an environmental leader with strong ethics. And that’s Vital Choice.

To say that Cat Faeries are finicky about quality is an understatement! We spent a huge amount of time researching salmon oil as well as other fish oils. We looked at salmon oils produced just for cats and we looked at salmon oils produced for people. We presented an assortment of salmon and fish oils to our friend Dr. Cheryl Schwartz DVM so she could use Applied Kinesiology (or muscle testing) to determine which would be the best for our cats. We did not tell her that we already thought Vital Choice was the best. The only one to pass Cheryl’s test was Vital Choice.

From our research we can tell you with all honesty that Vital Choice makes the finest salmon oil for people on the planet. Many oils come from iffy sources and we just didn’t feel right about the quality of the others. The purity of this product, and the ethics of the company are astounding. The company’s founders and staff are environmental leaders in sustainability and ethical harvesting and manufacturing. The oil is pure!

You already know of the benefits, now you know of the best salmon oil because we did the work to find it. We knew we wanted to carry Vital Choice oil, but we weren’t sure when. We heard a story about a seriously ailing Beluga whale who was so sick he was not supposed to survive. He was given Vital Choice salmon oil daily just to see what might happen. The whale did survive! That’s when we knew we couldn’t waste another day in getting it on our website.

You’ll find cheaper salmon oils – that’s the problem, they are cheap in every way from questionable quality of the fish, and in production of the oil. You and your cats deserve the best which is why you are a Cat Faeries customer in the first place!

Salmon oil soft gel may be punctured and oil squeezed into food. Or you can give orally, ½ to 1 soft gel daily. For human use - follow the instructions on the bottle.

Zoya and Madeline both say:

“Ok feline brothers and sisters, get ready for your fur becoming ‘fluff city’ and your body feeling loosey goosey like a kitten again! Madeline’s fur has gone from feeling course to feeling like butter. We both feel like spring kittens because of what this salmon oil is doing for us. And our “Maid” says she’s feeling years younger, which is good, because we keep her very busy tending to our needs!”

From the Vital Choice website:

• Whole, natural, and unrefined
• Purity and potency certified by NSF
• Certified sustainable by MSC

Our whole, unrefined, certified pure Omega-3 Salmon Oil is extracted from fresh wild Alaskan Sockeye within hours of harvest.

Vital Choice Salmon Oil versus two major brands (picture on right). The orange color comes from astaxanthin -- its natural antioxidant pigment.

Its exceptionally pure source and whole-food attributes make it a rare, powerfully health-promoting choice. According to the U.S. FDA, “Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” One serving (six 500mg softgels) of Vital Choice Salmon Oil provides 600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (including 460 mg EPA + DHA). See Nutrition Info below for total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol content.

Our unique “whole food” Salmon Oil
The fatty acid profile of our whole, un-distilled Sockeye Salmon Oil approximates that of the source fish more closely than standard fish oils do. Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon are among the purest of all ocean fish, consistently testing free of hazardous levels of contaminants. Accordingly, the EPA, FDA, Alaska Division of Public Health and consumer watchdog organizations recommend wild Alaskan Salmon without reservation.

Certified purity and potency
Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon are among the purest of all ocean fish, consistently testing free of hazardous levels of contaminants. Our fish oil capsules contain only pure wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil and no detectable mercury (<0.01 ppm). The purity and potency of our Sockeye Salmon Oil are tested and certified by NSF International.

Standard fish oils
Most fish oils come from diverse fish of varying, unknown purity and fat composition. They undergo chemical processes – deodorization and molecular distillation – to produce rigidly standardized products for the mass market. During these processes, fish oils are heated to temperatures in excess of 450 degrees F, which can degrade the structural integrity of their omega-3 molecules. Molecular distillation removes many of their companion fatty acids and phospholipids, with unknown impacts on their health attributes.

• Omega-3s: About 600 mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, including about 240 mg of omega-3 EPA and 220 mg of omega-3 DHA (460 mg combined EPA + DHA).
• Vitamin D: About 340 IU of vitamin D3.
• Vitamin A: About 2,060 IU of pre-formed vitamin A.
• Astaxanthin: About 36 mcg (micrograms). Sockeye are the richest of all fish and Salmon species in this extra-potent, carotenoid-class antioxidant pigment, obtained from the zooplankton they eat. The astaxanthin natural to our Sockeye Salmon Oil protects it from oxidation more effectively than the weaker tocopherol antioxidants added to standard fish oils.

*Our oil is harvested annually and tested by NSF for potency and purity. Nutrient levels may change slightly from year to year, in accordance with natural seasonal and geographic variations.

Fish oils and blood thinners
The omega-3s in fish oil possess properties associated with “blood thinning”, but according to research by American Heart Association (AHA) consultant William Harris, Ph.D., they do not appear to pose any risk to persons taking blood-thinning drugs (e.g., Coumadin). To learn more about this research, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, see “Can Fish Oil Cause Bleeding Risks?”.

We are very proud of this formula. We give it to our own cats every day (their ages of our cats range from 15 to 20) and so far our vet tells us their kidneys are in darned good shape. This formula probably won't cure existing renal failure, but customers tell us that their cats really improve - they start to eat again, they become more active, their test results are better. We've heard of cats living much longer than projected. This formula supports the entire Kidney Meridian (This is a system in TCM: Traditional Chinese Medicine) and the urinary tract. This beautiful formula also supports the thyroid.

As we age, cats included, things don't work or feel quite like they used to. There are new aches and pains. We feel sluggish and tire easily. It takes longer to recover from minor traumas or illness. We get stiff and lose flexibility. It seems like every body part just doesn't want to work anymore. There's nothing worse than feeling old and slow, no wonder the elders are often crabby. We took inspiration for this formula from our friend Rita Wood, owner of Purrever Ranch in Collierville TN. Rita does cat rescue and only takes in geriatric cats. She shared with us some of the challenges associated with caring for the elders and Cat Faeries wanted to help. So we made this formula. Rita told us of cats who got off their heating pads, cats whose fur improved, cats who wanted to be social again, cats whose appetites came back, and so much more. We are so proud of this elder supporting formula, we hope your aging cats will feel the magical spring in their step once again!

This is a highly recommended book!

We are so very lucky that Cheryl is an old friend and is one of our veterinarians. We know it’s a combination of her treatments and insights, plus the great diet, flower essences and so forth that we do for our cats which is why their longevity is amazing and overall their health is good, or what problems they do have are lessened and are easy to manage.

Learn how to do acupressure massage on your cat. Cheryl’s diagrams make it easy pie. The pressure you apply to the cat’s body is feather light, the movements are graceful and soothing, and the results are quick and amazing. The ritual of sitting with your cat and doing this wondering work will boost your own immunity because it’s so loving and positive.

The book also contains much about herbs and other modalities.

Cheryl knew she had to write this book when she learned that nothing like it existed for animals, even in China. Her book is now a textbook at the Chinese schools of acupuncture, as well as the schools worldwide.

We anticipate hosting Cheryl for classes for lay people. The San Francisco location and dates will be announced as soon as possible.

Cat grass is a very important part of a cat’s diet. It’s full of vitamins and minerals that they may not get from either homemade/raw food or commercial cat food. Ever wonder why your cat might like to chew on houseplants? They need the chlorophyll just like we do. And the greens help them pass fur balls. Houseplants are potentially dangerous. If your cat goes outside and nibbles on lawn, it is not safe as it could be full of pesticides or herbicides. Now with these seeds keeping a crop of very safe, healthful grass going for your cat year round is easy pie!

Botanical Interests selected a species of oat grass that really appeals to cats. The blades are smooth and delicious. And for we humans it’s so easy to grow. All you need is a 6 inch flower pot – no green thumb is required! Best of all its grown indoors and it can grow in any climate. Many years ago we sold wheat grass seed and one of our most loyal customers lived at The North Pole. If she could grow it there, anyone in the lower 48 can grow it too!

Seeds are untreated. No GMOs. Instructions are printed on the package. Makes a great gift!

Some cats just can't help it and will have the occasional accident or incident of urinating on something. Protect beds, furniture, floors with our washable, waterproof pads. 30 x 34 inch bright white quilted waterproof pad with a special leak proof backing absorbs and holds 2 cups of fluid without soaking through. The pads are soft and pliable so you can arrange them in many ways to suit your needs. Because they are soft cats like to lay on them which also protects your furniture from unwanted fur. The pads are so handy, you'll find many uses for them and we give you some ideas on this page. The pads are meant to be washed and dried 100's of times which means they will last you many, many years. A bargain!

"A healthy 10 pound cat urinates 1 cup to 1 1/4 cups of urine per day. These pads will easily hold that much fluid and more.

I have a cat who was a rescue and she is timid. I dogsit my catsitter's two dogs sometimes, and it stresses my cat out, and she would hide in the bedroom. I played just the little tiny clip of the cat music and she went prrt! and came out with her tail up and calmly claimed her own own place in the living room with me AND with the dogs, with no hissing. I kept replaying the clip. It was phenomenal. I'm buying that music!
