Question for Cat Owners

[ebony14]

So, as I have mentioned in earlier journals, His Most Neurotic Felinity, Tiresius the Occasionally Irritating has some sort of allergy to most regular brands of cat food, including all dry foods that I've fed him and many of the wet brands as well. I suspect that it's the corn gluten, but only because that's an allergy I'm familiar with. He's quite happy with the stuff I'm feeding him now, Nature's Balance, and the puking I came across after I changed his food looks to have been because of the anti-hairball snacks that I was feeding him (also with gluten; another piece of evidence). Unfortunately, this leaves me with about 20 cans of Friskies wet food and the better part of a bag of Iams Adult Cat dry food.

The dry food I can give to my mother, since her cats eat it. Does anyone have any ideas for the 20+ cans of Friskies wet? I don't want to just throw it away, but I'm not sure who would want it. Obviously, it's an open offer to anyone in the Metroplex who wants it, but if anyone else has an idea of where to donate it or other uses for it, feel free to chime in.

EDIT: I just checked with Operation Kindness, the no-kill shelter in North Dallas. They said they'd take it. Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't need the canned food (though I imagine the shelters would be thrilled to get a donation), I have a dry food recommendation, should you need one. My beasts are on Innova Evo, which has no grain or gluten of any kind. Neptune does better on it, also having a tender tummy, and Sake hasn't eaten anything else, and has enough energy to power a small town.

Glad you found things Sir Occasionally Irritating can eat. :)

Yeah, shelter's a good idea. And they might also be willing to give some freebie confirmation on the allergy thing. :)

I'm sure my beasts would eat it, though it might better go to a shelter or rescue - if you happen to be in Petcomart on a weekend, just ask them if they want it.
