Two cats in New York City have died from the avian flu, including an 8-month-old kitten. This marks the first confirmed cases in New York. The kittens were from different households, and one, a domestic shorthair, died after consuming raw food contaminated with the H5N1 virus. Despite interventions, the kitten's health quickly declined. A brief investigation revealed its diet included a raw food product from Savage Cat, previously linked to a potential infection. The owner's distress highlights the tragedy of the incident, with words of remorse from both the pet owner and the food company.
The owner of the food company feels terrible. There's no winners in this situation.
The kitten had been eating a raw food sold by the brand Savage Cat, which in February had recalled merchandise.
