Steve Dale, CABC: I’ve been a board member of the Winn Feline Foundation – now called the EveryCat Health Foundation – for many years. If you’ve ever treated a cat, seen a cat, [or] know a cat – everything about this cat was once funded by this organization …[For example], nobody knew what the right amount was [of taurine in cat food] was back in the day and cats got sick [and] die as a result. Others said, ‘No, no … that doesn’t make any sense. It’s not about taurine. ‘ Well, it was about taurine and it was the Winn Feline Foundation that funded that study. Fast forward the clock to today, we have a treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) … which has been funded again for decades by the so-called EveryCat Health Foundation.
