Orijen Cat and Kitten Food

Orijen Cat and Kitten Food

Orijen Cat and Kitten Food is a biologically appropriate, animal-protein-rich cat food made for cats and kittens of all life stages. It is built around fresh free-run chicken, turkey, nest-laid eggs and wild-caught fish, and suits South African cat owners who want a meat-first diet that reflects what cats are built to eat. It is supplied in a 1.8 kg (4 lb) size.

Key Benefits

• Rich in animal protein, at 40% protein and a limited 19% low-glycemic carbohydrates, to suit a cat's evolutionary and biological needs.
• Made for every life stage, so kittens, adults and seniors in the same home can share one food.
• Two thirds of the meats are fresh (refrigerated, no preservatives) or raw (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 ingredients.
• The remaining third of the meat is gently dehydrated at 90°C from fresh chicken, turkey and fish. This gives a concentrated protein source that fresh meats alone cannot supply.
• WholePrey™ ratios of fresh meats, organs and cartilage, plus fresh whole fish and eggs, are designed to provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient a cat or kitten needs.
• Generous infusions of gently freeze-dried liver boost flavour and palatability naturally, which suits selective eaters.
• A recipe of 85% meat and 15% fruits and vegetables.

Why a Meat-Rich Diet

Cats and kittens are built like their ancestors and have a biological need for a diet that is rich and varied in animal protein. Although they may look different, your cat shares her DNA and eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wild cat. She is adapted to a diet rich and varied in meat, not high-glycemic carbohydrates and grains. This recipe is formulated around that principle.

Suitable For

• Kittens, adult cats and senior cats, as it is designed for all life stages.
• Households with more than one cat of different ages.
• Selective eaters, thanks to the freeze-dried liver coating.
