Cat food containing pork

6 years ago By user2

Q: We have a couple of cats at home and rely on buying brand cat jelly and dry food. I usually buy fish selection but recently discovered that both of the fish selection cat food brands have traces of pork in the food. It would be difficult to have to make homemade meat for them every day because we have many cats and they eat multiple times a day. Its a must to feed cats meat because otherwise they’ll be unhealthy. So what shall I do? I'm afraid they’ll get sick of eating tuna all the time and they need a lot of nutrition which can be found in these brand foods.

Q: One of my relatives is suffering from heart valve disease and doctors have advised valve replacement surgery . But they have not cleared which type of valve will be used. As per my knowledge valves are of two types

1. Mechanical valve

2. Biological valves which are made from pig tissue

Is it permissible if pig tissue valves are used according to Islamic beliefs ?

Euthanasia for animals

Q: I want to give up my cat to a charity who will help rehome them. One of the things I have to sign is a declaration that the charity is allowed to euthanise the cat if they have any “social, behavioural or other substantive reasons.” Am I allowed to sign this?
