Cat Food Shortage Leaves Pet Owners in a Bind – AARP
Pandemic Cat Food Shortage Has Kitties Meowing Barbara Hengstenberg has had trouble finding specialty cat food for her pet. Courtesy Bill Hengstenberg Debra Bishop feels like she hits the lottery every time she finds Purina Friskies Shreds canned cat food on store shelves for her two rescue cats, 3-year-old siblings Max and Willow. The chicken- and turkey-flavored meals are hard to find these days because of a widespread pet food shortage. Canned cat food — from well-known brands like Fancy Feast, Friskies and 9 Lives — is the most elusive. Several factors are responsible, including pandemic-related manufacturing delays, bad weather, and an uptick in pet ownership and pampering. The situation is reminiscent of last year’s toilet paper sales surge, and the recent shortage of Grape-Nuts that had some fans paying as much as $110 a box through an online black market. Bishop says she often finds herself muttering under her breath as she searches the shelves for something her cats won’t turn their noses up to. “I’m clearly not the only one wondering what their kittens will eat,” says Bishop, 51, who lives in Penfield, New York. “I’ve shared…

'Not completely COVID-19's fault': Here's why there's a wet cat …
WPRI.com EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Supply chain issues have been wreaking havoc at stores for some time now, and cat owners are the latest to feel their impact. There’s currently a nationwide shortage of cans of wet cat food, according to Dr. Farbod Farhadi, an associate professor of business at Roger Williams University. “This time, it’s not completely COVID-19’s fault,” Farhadi said. He said the United States is one of the biggest importers of aluminum from China, where a manufacturing plant had to shut down late last year. “There was an accident in one of the — like a major accident — in one of the aluminum production manufacturing factories in China,” Farhadi explained.
