The original holistic cat group on the internet, Holisticat is devoted to gentle natural ways of caring for our cats' overall well-being, and still going strong in its 11th year.
After two years on Yahoo! Groups, we have moved to new virtual digs. The community had grown too large to manage. While we are grateful that the exposure helped us grow, the limitations of the format are making themselves felt. A dedicated band of volunteers who call themselves the Holisticat Crew have been hard at work developing an exciting new facility that will offer a lot more flexibility and features. Please join us at the Holisticat Community Bulletin Board by clicking here.
