The goes into detail about the FDA's part in this.

http://www.radfood.com/blog/the_rad_cat_fda_experience.en#.W8TsRONAR9s.facebook

There are companies that have not paid their bills to RC, which is why, even though business is booming, they have no cash flow.  How much you want to bet the FDA is behind those places not paying up as well?

As many know, we have recently had a very large recall, on the heels of another recall.  The expenses of these events, along with slow reimbursement from insurance, and some distributors who, collectively, over the last few months have withheld hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments (namely Animal Supply Company and Monarch Pet Products), have made it economically impossible for us to continue...for that we are very sorry and we promise we tried our best.

Angry about the @radcatrawdiet announcement? I am taking your questions so I can consider them as part of the investigation. I am 8+ months into a massive investigation. PLEASE support it NOW!

MC, what are you going to do?  I know RadCat is/was a big part of what you feed.

Kohl Harrington was live on FB yesterday.  Got the link from the Live video chat.   Sounds like he will be "looking into" what happened to RadCat and possibly adding the info to Pet Fooled 2.
Questions can be asked, via the link, after a donation.
It is possible you can look up that video chat, and also ask a question from there as well.  Even though he is no longer live, the video would be there.

Rad Cat Didn't Die, It Was MURDERED

They intentionally ignored procedure, they intentionally mishandled a testing sample, they intentionally destroyed a quality pet food business.

With great sadness, Rad Cat Pet Food announced yesterday they will be closing their doors. Their business was murdered by FDA and multiple State Department of Agriculture offices.

I stopped by the specialty pet food store where I used to buy Pookie's food to let them know, and they were already aware.  The manager had ordered as many tubs of RadCat as she could, for her customers.  Apparently a lot of them feed it.  I mentioned HareToday and MyPetCarnivore to her as well, so she can share that info with her customers.  I also asked about some of the other raws, and most of them are HPP.  :(  I think Vital Essentials is not HPP.

They are open to an investor, so maybe there is still hope.

If I ever won the PowerBall, or MegaMillions, oh the fun I would have helping out a company like this.   :)

I don't mind HPP. Rad Cat is HPP.

 My problem is Mazy cat needs non-GMO fed chicken and turkey. The chicken is difficult to find locally but I do manage to keep ahead of my needs with it, with Mazy cat having 1/3 home ground chicken breast and thigh with EZcomplete. But she won't eat more EZc than that.  She needs some variety, and that was the RAd Cat chicken and Rad Cat turkey.

If I even could get her to eat 100% EZc that would affect my own quality of life.  I would be grinding meat for her, portioning out it, freezing it, every single weekend.  I hope there is something left for my supplier to get in for me, they don't order until Sunday, so I can stock up.

My friend D has made room in her freezer for me if I can get it. with the 2+ months I have now, maybe that will get me through until they are up and running again..

For MC and anyone else looking for alternatives:

Perhaps the companies below would be options?  I haven't contacted them to confirm they are non-GMO, but it might be worth reaching out to them to ask.

They have opened a fundraiser for the purpose of paying their debts and hoefuly starting back up. It's a shame the ones that owe THEM money won't pay up. I am convinced they were paid off by government and/or the PFI to withhold payments.
