Second US company recalls pet food as bird flu spreads to cats through tainted meat

Cats in two states tested positive after eating raw food from Wild Coast Raw, which issued voluntary recall

As the bird flu outbreak continues gaining force in the US, a second company selling raw pet food issued a voluntary recall after cats from two different households in Oregon contracted H5N1 from the tainted meat earlier this month.

Two more cats in different households in Washington state have tested positive for bird flu after eating the same brand of raw pet food nearly two weeks after the recall, officials announced on Wednesday. One cat was euthanized, while the other remains under veterinary care.
