FAQ

High-quality wet food for cats contains fresh meat or fish, natural ingredients, and no preservatives, flavorings, or colorings. It is based on the cat's natural prey and provides all the important nutrients for vitality and well-being.

What are the advantages of wet food with a high animal content?
A high animal content ensures a natural, species-appropriate diet that corresponds to the cat's prey principle. Cats are pure carnivores—their metabolism is specialized for animal protein and fat.

Wet food with lots of meat therefore provides high-quality, easily digestible proteins that support muscle development and maintain body mass. At the same time, it usually contains fewer carbohydrates and no unnecessary fillers such as grains or sugar.

And last but not least: cats love the intense flavor of real meat—making every meal a treat.

You can recognize high-quality wet cat food by its transparent declaration and clearly traceable ingredients.
Good food contains a high proportion of meat and offal as a natural source of protein and consistently avoids added sugar, grains, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Brands such as catz finefood® place great importance on transparency and quality: all ingredients are listed in full on the packaging so that you know exactly what is going into your cat's bowl. This means you can be sure that you are feeding your cat honest, natural, and species-appropriate food.

Cats are naturally pure carnivores. Their bodies are designed to optimally utilize animal protein and fat —but not large amounts of plant-based ingredients.

A high animal content in the feed therefore provides high-quality proteins that are essential for building and maintaining muscle, for vitality and energy, and for healthy digestion. Meat also contains essential nutrients such as taurine, which is important for the heart, eyes, and metabolism.

In short: lots of meat means species-appropriate nutrition, optimal digestibility, and pure flavor for your cat.

Yes, significantly so.
Many conventional wet foods contain plant-based fillers such as grains, corn, or sugar to increase volume—often at the expense of animal protein content. These ingredients are not optimally digestible for cats, which are pure carnivores.

Wet food with a high animal content, on the other hand , provides mainly animal protein, which meets the cat's natural nutritional needs. This provides the cat with a better supply of essential amino acids such as taurine, which are important for the heart, eyes, and muscles. In addition , this type of food is easily digestible, particularly tasty, and supports a stable energy supply without unnecessary carbohydrates.

The amount of food depends on your cat's age, weight, and activity level. You can find a rough guide on every catz finefood® CLASSIC package or in our clear feeding recommendations.

Which types of meat are particularly suitable for cat food?
Cats benefit particularly from easily digestible meats with high nutritional value. Chicken, beef, lamb, and game, for example, provide valuable animal protein and all the essential amino acids that are important for building and maintaining muscles, skin, and fur.

Fish species such as salmon and herring are also an excellent addition. They contain essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

A varied diet is particularly recommended, as different types of meat provide different nutrients. This ensures that your cat receives optimal nutrition—in line with a natural, species-appropriate diet.

The term "poultry" covers various bird species such as chicken, duck, and pheasant. catz finefood® CLASSIC uses high-quality poultry meat, which is rich in protein and easy to digest.

The following varieties of catz finefood® CLASSIC do not contain any added iodine:  

• Beef & Veal 
• game  
• Lamb & Rabbit 
• Herring & Shrimps 
• Poultry & Shrimp 
• Lamb & Horse 
• Beef & Duck 
• Cattle & Water Buffalo 
• Kitten poultry  
• Kitten Beef & Veal 

Kittens should be fed special kitten food until they are around 12 months old.
After that, you can switch to adult wet food.
catz finefood® CLASSIC Kitten wet food is ideal for young cats aged 2 to 12 months.

The amount of food depends on your kitten 's age, weight, and activity level .
You can find guidance in the feeding recommendations for kittens onour website and on the packaging.

Kitten food contains more energy, protein, and calcium to optimally support the growth and development of young cats' bones, muscles, and organs.Adult cat food, on the other hand, is aimed at fully grown animals whose bodies are fully developed. It offers a balanced composition with moderate energy content to maintain muscle mass, vitality, and ideal body weight —without overfeeding.

catz finefood® CLASSIC Adult is the ideal choice for cats that have reached their active phase of life. In other words, for all felines aged one year and older.
During this time, cats are curious, playful, and at the same time picky when it comes to their food. They need a diet that provides energy, is easily digestible, and respects their natural instincts.

Whether your cat lives indoors or outdoors, our catz finefood® CLASSIC Adult adapts to the needs of every cat. It is grain-free, produced without added sugar, and impresses even discerning gourmets with its natural taste. Because "Adult" here means: Complete nutrition for a healthy cat life, inspired by nature and developed with veterinarians.

Once your cat is around one year old , you can switch to adult cat food.
At this point, your cat is fully grown and needs a different diet than kitten food.Kitten food is tailored to the growth of young cats and contains more energy, protein, fat, and certain vitamins and minerals. Adult food, on the other hand, has an adjusted energy content and a balanced nutrient composition.

Adult cat food is designed for adult cats with normal energy requirements.
Senior cat food , on the other hand, usually contains fewer calories but special nutrients that support the metabolism and joints of older cats. This ensures that cats get exactly what they need at every stage of life.

"Adult" simply means "for adult cats."
It describes a balanced diet that meets the needs of adult cats. That means high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, and vitamins for vitality.

Kitten food contains more energy, protein, and nutrients for the growth of young cats.
Adult cat food, on the other hand, is designed to maintain health, energy, and well-being in adulthood. It satisfies without overfeeding and supports a long, vital cat life.

Yes, senior food is definitely a good idea for older cats aged 10 years and above.
As your cat gets older, its metabolism, energy requirements, and nutrient utilization change. Older cats tend to move around less and therefore consume less energy, but at the same time, their bodies need a particularly gentle, nutrient-dense diet.

High-quality senior food provides optimal support during this stage of life: it contains high-quality, easily digestible proteins that help maintain muscle mass, as well as an adjusted energy content.

This will keep your mini tiger lively, agile, and well cared for in old age—with food that is tailored to its specific needs.

Usually from around 10 to 11 years of age. From this age onwards, their metabolism slows down and many cats become slightly less active. This reduces their energy requirements, while their bodies still need high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals to maintain muscle mass, immune defenses, and vitality. catz finefood® CLASSIC Senior is ideal for ensuring a smooth transition.

Adult cat food is tailored to the needs of adult, active cats. It provides sufficient energy, high-quality protein, and balanced nutrients to support vitality, muscle development, and coat health.

Senior cat food, on the other hand, is specially designed for older cats whose metabolism and activity levels change with age. It contains slightly less energy, but is rich in easily digestible ingredients and high-quality proteins to maintain muscle mass without putting strain on the body. It also often contains valuable oils, vitamins, and antioxidants that promote vitality and well-being in old age.

The amount depends on the cat's weight, age, and activity level. It is best to follow the instructions on the packaging and observe your cat's individual eating habits.

"Ragout" refers to a type of dish made from tender, cooked pieces of meat in sauce. In cat food, this means juicy pieces of meat and offal surrounded by a delicate sauce, which is particularly popular with cats who like to lick and slurp.

These terms describe the consistency and structure of wet food and help you find your cat's favorite texture:

• Ragout:
  Ragout consists of juicy, mostly bite-sized pieces of meat in an aromatic sauce. It is particularly popular with cats who like to chew on pieces and prefer a more "homemade" consistency.
• Jelly (in jelly):
  In jelly dishes, the pieces of meat are embedded in a firm, jelly-like broth. The jelly holds the pieces together well and is suitable for cats who prefer a less liquid but still juicy texture.
• Paté:
  Paté is a completely finely pureed, uniform mixture with no visible pieces. Its soft, creamy consistency is ideal for cats with sensitive teeth, older cats, or cats who like a particularly smooth texture.
• Fillet:
  Fillet food contains tender, elongated strips of meat. It looks more natural and high-quality and is suitable for cats who like to chew real meat fibers.

Many cats prefer to get their fluids from their food. Wet food with extra sauce supplements their daily diet with additional moisture and can thus contribute to their overall fluid intake. This makes the food particularly appealing to cats who enjoy juicy meals.

• Increased fluid intake: The additional sauce increases the natural water content of the meal. This allows fluid to be absorbed naturally through the food—without the need for increased drinking. 
• Increases acceptance – even among picky cats: Many cats love juicy textures. The aromatic sauce makes the food particularly tasty and can encourage even "gourmets" or fussy cats to eat.
• Benefits for older cats: As they get older, some cats lose their appetite or have trouble chewing their food. Soft food with plenty of sauce is easier to eat and its intense smell encourages them to eat more.
• Helpful when changing food: The sauce can make the transition to a new food easier, as it enhances familiar flavors and makes the food more appealing.

All ingredients in catz finefood® ORGANIC come from certified organic farms. This means: species-appropriate animal husbandry, sustainable production, no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetic engineering, and the highest quality, tested by the ABCERT AG inspection body (DE-ÖKO-006).

Yes. All catz finefood® ORGANIC varieties contain only one source of animal protein. This means you know exactly which meat has been used and can tailor the food to your cat's specific needs. Thanks to the absence of grain and added sugar, as well as the clear declaration of all ingredients, the food is also suitable for sensitive cats.

Monoprotein cat food contains only one source of animal protein. This means that both the meat and animal by-products come from the same animal species. This makes it particularly easy to digest, as the body only has to process one type of protein .

Single-protein cat food offers a number of advantages, especially for cats with sensitive stomachs or fussy eaters. As it contains only one source of animal protein, the composition is particularly clear and easily digestible.

Monoprotein cat food has the following advantages:

• Less risk of reactions: If a cat is sensitive to certain animal proteins, monoprotein foods are a better way to avoid potential triggers.
• Ideal for elimination diets: If a food intolerance is suspected, step-by-step testing is often carried out to determine which protein source the cat is reacting to.
• Greater transparency: Owners can clearly see which animal is included as a protein source. This makes it easier to tailor the diet to individual needs.

Monoprotein cat food is therefore particularly suitable for cats with sensitive digestive systems, but also for cat owners who simply value a reduced, easily traceable composition.

Single-protein wet food is always a good choice if you want to be particularly mindful about your cat's diet. It contains only one source of animal protein and is therefore ideal for cats with sensitive stomachs or special dietary requirements.

Typical situations in which single-protein wet food is useful:

• For food intolerances: If your cat reacts to certain types of meat (e.g., itching, vomiting, diarrhea), a single-protein food can help identify and avoid triggers.
• For an exclusion diet: In order to clearly identify reactions, the diet is deliberately reduced to a single protein source. Monoprotein food provides a reliable basis for this.
• For a particularly pure, reduced diet: Cat owners who value transparent ingredient lists will benefit from the clear recipe. You know exactly which animal protein your cat is getting.
• Also suitable for healthy cats: the clear, species-appropriate composition is not only good for sensitive cats. Many cats benefit from natural recipes in their everyday lives.

In short: single-protein wet food is always a good choice if you want to provide your cat with a transparent diet that meets its needs.

In freeze-drying, the meat is first frozen very quickly. This preserves its natural structure and quality. It is then placed in a vacuum chamber. The frozen water in the meat transitions directly from a solid to a vapor state without melting first.
Because hardly any heat is used during the entire process, the following remain:

• the original flavor,
• the natural meat structure
• and most of the vitamins, minerals, and proteins are optimally preserved.

What remains are particularly light, aromatic pieces. For cats, this means a very natural treat—intense in flavor, highly digestible, and incredibly attractive thanks to its concentrated aroma.

Freeze-dried cat snacks contain the original nutrients of the fresh raw ingredients and offer an intense, natural flavor. Your mini tiger gets high-quality treats that are light, crunchy, and particularly easy to digest . They are also made without added sugar, grains, or artificial additives—ideal for a species-appropriate diet.

Freeze-dried snacks are processed very gently: the water is removed at very low temperatures, which means that the taste, structure, and many nutrients are almost completely preserved. This makes them particularly flavorful and light—ideal for sensitive or fussy cats.

Dried snacks are preserved by drying, which removes moisture from the meat. They have a firmer consistency, an intense flavor, and are a real treat to chew. If you are looking for a dried alternative , catz finefood® MEATZ are a suitable addition to PURE SNACKS.

Dried snacks are dried at higher temperatures, which is why they tend to be crispier and harder. Some heat-sensitive nutrients may be lost in the process—the taste is more savory than intense.

Dried cat snacks are preserved using a drying process that removes moisture from the meat. This concentrates the flavor and aroma while retaining the natural meat structure. The meat strips become firmer and particularly aromatic, remaining close to what cats prefer. This production process makes catz finefood® MEATZ a particularly natural snack.

Dried snacks have an intense meat flavor and a crunchy texture. For cats, this means real meat, full of aroma and highly enjoyable. They are ideal as a snack or topping because they contain no artificial additives and cats often respond particularly well to them.

The most important difference lies in the manufacturing process.
Dried snacks such as catz finefood® MEATZ are preserved through drying. During this process, the meat loses moisture but remains compact and firm to the bite. The result is flavorful, slightly firmer meat strips that retain their natural structure and offer an intense chewing experience.

Freeze-dried snacks, on the other hand, undergo a special cold vacuum process. The meat is first deep-frozen and then dried under vacuum, so that the frozen water evaporates directly. This preserves the flavor, nutrients, and original meat structure to a large extent. The pieces become light, porous, and very flavorful —perfect for quick snacks or tasty treats.

With its PURE SNACKS , while dried alternatives such as MEATZ are more substantial and firm to the bite. This means you can find the right treat for every cat and every situation.

A topping for wet cat food can help to enhance the food or make it easier to change their diet. catz finefood® MEATZ is particularly well suited for this: the meat strips can be easily chopped up and sprinkled directly over the wet food. The intense meat aroma stimulates the appetite and motivates even fussy cats to try the food.
