Increase Your Cat’s Health And Longevity By Feeding A Raw Prey-Based Diet.
Domestic cats descend from carnivorous big cats and share a natural dietary need for raw meat. Breeds like the energetic Savannah, the affectionate Ragdoll, and the high-metabolism Sphynx benefit from a raw diet that supports dental health, coat quality, and overall well-being, while meeting their unique nutritional requirements.
Raw Cat Food Feeding Directions
Safety
Discard any food that has gotten warm and not eaten within an hour. Clean serving dish (we recommend stainless steel or glass) after each meal. Use soap and water to wash all surfaces that come in contact with raw food.
Transitioning From Dry to Canned
If your cat eats dry food start by putting your cat on a closed feeding schedule with their current food. This means your cat eats one or two meals a day and does not eat freely in between meals.
Feeding Directions
Store frozen and thaw 1 packet or 1 tub in the refrigerator prior to feeding, do not cook or microwave. The packets can be taken directly from the freezer and run under lukewarm water to thaw.
Transitioning From Canned to Raw
Once your cat is on a closed feeding schedule with canned food you can start working in raw food. Start with 25% raw and 75% canned, working your way towards more and more raw food.

FAQs
Where is your meat from?
Our certified organic chickens are sourced from Pitman Farms, CA. Our ducks are raised without antibiotics or added hormones in California by Pitman Farms. Our rabbit are raised on sustainable family farms throughout the United States. The lamb we use is raised by sustainable farmers across the United States. Our quail are locally raised in Southern California.
Is raw cat food safe?
A cat’s digestive system is built to handle much more bacteria than a human’s. Raw meat is perfectly safe and natural for a cat to eat, as they would in the wild. Raw bones are flexible and safe for chewing, but if cooked can become brittle and dangerous. We advise against cooking our cat food. The FDA does not recommend raw pet food because raw meat poses a risk to humans, not to animals. We recommend washing dishes, surfaces and hands thoroughly when serving raw food to cats. We also advise against humans consuming the cat food.
Is it safe to thaw and refreeze?
Our cat food is processed partially frozen before it is fully frozen and shipped to you. It is perfectly safe to refreeze it one time. The reason the FDA advises against refreezing meat for human consumption is because you can lose track of how long the item has been in the refrigerator, or how many times you have taken it in and out of the freezer. Since our packets are single serve, there should be no issue refreezing them once and then thawing and serving. For our tubs, some of our customers like to thaw them and refreeze them in silicone ice cube trays to divvy up servings.
What's the difference between your boxes and tubs?
Our boxed food comes with individual packets, which simplify portioning and thawing. Additionally, the packets contain diced muscle meat, such as chicken breast, which encourages chewing in cats and leads to healthier teeth and gums.The tubs are a pure grind bulk packaged cat food that is ideal for cats with special dental needs, or multi-cat households that feed a high volume of food.
How do you ship your frozen cat food?
Our frozen products are shipped out on Mondays for 1-2 day delivery, and are packed with ice packs and dry ice. Dry ice evaporates during transit so if you do not see it, it has harmlessly evaporated. Once the shipment is in the hands of the carrier, we have no more information on it than you do. If it is delayed in transit and arrives warm, we will refund you or send you a replacement. If it arrives partially thawed but still cold, it is perfectly safe to refreeze. We do not want cat food to be taken out of the freezer and thawed more than one time because you can lose track of how many times it has been defrosted and how long it has spent in the refrigerator. However, it is perfectly safe to refreeze one time. Please use the customer notes section at checkout to inform us of any special delivery needs, such as building or gate codes. We will relay this information to the carrier to ensure timely delivery. For military base deliveries you may need to meet our carrier at the gate, please contact us for special instructions.
