At Bloom Bioscience, our mission is deeply personal. Our founder, Christopher M. Ruiz, began this journey over 20 years ago, driven by a passion for caring for colony cats and community felines facing health challenges like UTIs, FeLV, and FIV. As a dedicated caretaker, Chris saw firsthand how difficult it could be to keep these cats healthy, especially when they couldn’t communicate their struggles. That experience, combined with his background in biotech research, inspired him to create Bloom Bioscience, a company committed to developing science-backed, natural supplements to improve the lives of pets, particularly those in colonies and shelters. Today, we’re proud to offer products like Revitalize Hydration and Revitalize Health & Immunity, designed to address the unique needs of these often-overlooked feline populations.
The Challenges Facing Colony and Shelter Cats
Colony cats, whether feral or part of managed communities, and shelter cats face a host of health challenges. Limited access to consistent nutrition, exposure to stress, and the prevalence of diseases like Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), and upper respiratory infections (URIs) can take a toll on their well-being. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is another common issue, particularly as these cats age. In shelters, overcrowding and fluctuating diets can weaken immune systems, while colony cats often struggle with dehydration and poor vascular health due to inconsistent water sources and harsh environmental conditions. These cats deserve solutions that are both effective and practical, which is where Bloom Bioscience steps in.
Revitalize Hydration: A Lifeline for Hydration and Electrolyte Balance
Hydration is the foundation of good health, especially for cats who may not always have reliable access to clean water. Revitalize Hydration is a powdered supplement designed to be mixed into drinking water, making it an ideal solution for colony and shelter settings where large groups of cats need care. Comprising four key supplements, it helps maintain electrolyte balance and supports the vascular system, crucial for cats who might be dehydrated or battling conditions that strain their bodies, such as CKD.
For colony cats, who often rely on whatever water sources are available, Revitalize Hydration ensures they get the minerals and nutrients they need to stay resilient and support kidney health, helping to prevent and manage CKD. In shelters, where staff and volunteers manage multiple cats daily, this easy-to-administer powder can be a game-changer, promoting overall wellness and providing supportive care for cats with FIP or URIs, without adding complexity to care routines. A robust vascular system means better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues, helping these cats heal naturally and thrive despite their circumstances.
Revitalize Health & Immunity: Building Stronger Defenses
Immune health is another critical concern for colony and shelter cats, who are frequently exposed to pathogens and stressors. Revitalize Health & Immunity is a capsule supplement packed with a proprietary blend of 14 high-potency, human-grade ingredients, including Chondroitin, Glucosamine, L-cysteine, Spirulina, and Lactoferrin. This powerful formula works holistically to combat oxidative stress, revitalize the vascular system, and bolster immunity, offering a proactive approach to preventing and supporting CKD while providing supportive care for conditions like FIP and URIs.
For colony cats, this means greater resistance to common ailments, improved kidney function, and a better chance at a longer, healthier life. Shelter cats, often arriving with compromised health, can benefit from the immune support as they recover from infections like URIs or manage chronic conditions like CKD, preparing them for adoption. The supplement’s focus on vascular health also ties back to our founder’s original mission: ensuring cats have the internal strength to fight off disease before it takes hold. Whether mixed into food for a feral colony or given to shelter cats under veterinary supervision, Revitalize Health & Immunity delivers comprehensive care.
A Legacy of Care, Backed by Science
Chris Ruiz’s journey began with those sleepless nights watching over sick cats, and that dedication lives on in every Bloom Bioscience product. His 20 years of hands-on research, paired with his biotech experience, have culminated in supplements that are both scientifically rigorous and deeply compassionate. At Bloom Bioscience, we’re not just a company; we’re a team of pet lovers and scientists who understand the bond between caregivers and their animals, especially those without a traditional home.
Colony and shelter cats often don’t get the attention they deserve, but with Revitalize Hydration and Revitalize Health & Immunity, we’re helping change that. These products are designed to be practical for large-scale use while delivering real results: healthier, happier cats who can enjoy more purr-filled days. Whether you’re a colony manager, shelter volunteer, or simply an advocate for feline welfare, Bloom Bioscience is here to support you in giving these cats the care they need.
