Lotus, Just Juicy Venison Stew Grain-Free Wet Cat Food, 5.3 Ounce

Two months ago I adopted two 14 year old cats. They had known only one home previously, and only one owner, since their kittenhood. Sadly, the owner became ill in November 2021, and passed, and the cats became fosters. A local rescue highlighted their plight, a "dire need" for a forever loving home. I decided to offer that loving home, and adopted Marble and Taylor. Marble has certain protein intolerances, and prior to my adopting her, had been given Lotus Venison. I have continued to give her this premium meat food, and she looks so well on it. She ha a thick plush coat, and looks far less than her 14 years. Good food = good health. By the way, I don't eat meat, myself, but my cats are obligate carnivores, and they have to, for maximum health.

We have bought this a ton in the past with no issues. This month we ordered again as a “buy it again” and they sent 1 can of cat food for $120. We try to return and Amazon and the vendor say “this product can’t be returned” even after calling support. This vendor is pulling some shady shady stuff - please be careful and do not buy even if you have in the past. It’s too bad, my cats did like this food but it’s not worth $120 a can

The product itself is excellent…my cats absolutely love it! But I’m never purchasing from this seller again (AYOZ). I placed my order on Monday & it was supposed to arrive on Friday (this is a pretty long lead time compared to how quickly Amazon orders usually ship but whatever, I was ok with that). However, I received an email yesterday, when this was supposed to arrive, that this was now going to arrive on Saturday instead. Normally I wouldn’t care if it was some other item, but since this was cat food that I was out of & it’s not a food available in local stores, it was super inconvenient & totally unacceptable.

Quality has diminished greatly. A single can is priced the same as previously priced per case. The taste is so disagreeable for most cats, they take one sniff and walk away.

My cat has IBD and I recently learned that he is allergic to most animal proteins and all legumes. He can have rabbit and venison only. He had been on a raw rabbit diet, but he won't eat it unless its topped with something else. I had to stop his dry food and could not find any substitute without allergens. I began pulverizing a freeze-dried rabbit food and sprinkling it on the raw, but wanted to rotate with another flavor. After much searching, I was very glad to find this food. Most canned foods have one or more ingredients that he can't tolerate, but this one is free of his allergens. And, he eats it. Yeah! I think the price is quite high, but I realize that its imported from New Zealand. I am so glad I found something that is working.

My cat has been raised on Lotus cat food since he was a kitten. Lotus is high quality food . It's expensive but worth the price. The venison stew is what my cat loved best.

I used the buy again button. My cat has to be in a single novel protein and the venison has worked great for her in the past. However, as I used the buy again button, I did not read the details in the description because it is what up I always buy. ONE can only arrived—for the price of a case of $24 ($114). I will be talking to my vet to find a different food., and am going to be more hesitant to buy from Amazon in the future.

My Paulie truly loves this stuff and she has sensitivities to certain foods. She eats every bit of it which makes me happy. Sadly, it’s outrageously expensive. As a retiree on a set income, I hope I can always afford it.
