BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOR ALL BREEDS AND LIFE STAGES
FRESH FREE-RANGE CHICKEN AND TURKEY, NEST-NECKED EGGS, AND WILD-CATCH FISH.
CATS AND KITTENS ARE STRUCTURED JUST LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS, AND THEY BIOLOGICALLY NEED A DIET RICH AND VARIOUS IN ANIMAL PROTEIN.
With its rich, nutritious protein ratio and limited low-glycemic carbohydrates, ORIJEN nourishes your cats and kittens according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
Unlike any other cat and kitten food, ORIJEN's meats are 2 3 FRESH (refrigerated, preservative-free) or RAW (flash-frozen, preservative-free), including the 10 key ingredients.
1 3 of the meat, from fresh chicken, turkey, and fish, is dehydrated at 90 C to create a nutritious, concentrated protein source unavailable from fresh meat alone.
With its nutrient-dense WholePrey ratio of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage, along with fresh whole fish and eggs, it's a natural source of all the nutrients your cat and kitten need.
A generous amount of slowly freeze-dried liver naturally enhances flavor and palatability, making ORIJEN incredibly palatable, even for those with a picky liking.

FEED AS NATURE INTENDED
Although they may look different, your cat shares DNA and eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wild cat, meaning it's suited to a diet rich and varied in meat—not high-glycemic carbohydrates and grains.

YOUR CAT IS UNIQUE
Your cat and kitten are unique, and their nutritional needs vary depending on their environment, age, and activity level.
That's why we recommend starting with the guide below. Then, by monitoring their weight, you can adjust portion sizes as needed. Feed twice a day and remember to always have fresh food and water available.
Providing more calories from protein and fat (and fewer carbohydrates), ORIJEN Cat Kitten reduces the risk of obesity and diabetes by distributing calories in a way that mimics the natural feline diet.
Metabolizable Energy 4160 kcal kg (540 kcal per 250ml 130g serving) Calorie distribution to support peak fitness: 9 from protein, 43 from fruits and vegetables, and 43 from fat.
OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY
The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. Over the years, its breeding has produced hundreds of cats with different appearances, but the inner workings of wild and domestic cats have remained unchanged, so it's no surprise that their nutritional needs have remained the same. Our 5 Biologically Appropriate principles are simple, reflecting the fresh, diverse meats found in cats throughout their evolutionary diet.
MEAT ( ) AND PROTEIN ( )RICH IN NUTRIENTS
All cats are suited to a diet rich in meat and protein. Their sharp teeth and bodily mechanisms are designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN nourishes your cats according to their biological needs.
- meat content (2 3 FRESH or RAW and 1 3 slowly dehydrated)
- Low-glycemic vegetables and fruits
- rich in nutritious meat protein
- All meat ingredients come from animals deemed fit for human consumption before being added to our foods.
- Contains no plant protein extracts or concentrates (potato or pea protein)
- Contains no high-glycemic carbohydrates (tapioca, potato, rice)
- Contains no gluten or grains.
UNIQUE FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS (2 3)
Fresh meats are the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.
- 2 3 of the meats are FRESH or RAW, providing your cat with essential nutrients in the most natural and nutritious way.
- 1 3 of the meats are dehydrated at low temperatures to create a nutritious, concentrated protein source unavailable from fresh meat alone.
MEAT VARIETY (5)
In nature, cats benefit from a wide variety of meats. This variety is often lost in traditional cat foods, which often contain a single animal protein like chicken or lamb, which are highly processed and rarely fresh.
That's why our award-winning ORIJEN Cat Kitten is packed with a rich variety of fresh meats in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to ensure optimal growth and development for your cat or kitten.
- Fresh free-range Cobb chicken from local farms
- Fresh free-range chicken from local farms
- Fresh, whole nest-laid eggs from local farms
- Wild-caught, fresh whole Pacific Herring and Flounder from North Vancouver Island
WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
WholePrey is the evolution of ORIJEN foods, combining meat, organs, and cartilage in ratios reflecting natural nutrition, eliminating the need for long lists of synthetic ingredients.
- Meat is essential for protein and fat, as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
- Organs Packed with every nutrient cats need for growth, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
- Edible Bone A rich source of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in their natural forms, which are easily absorbed by your cat's body.
LIMITED-CARBONHYDRATE ( )
Cats are carnivores and have no biological need for carbohydrates, but conventional cat foods still contain high amounts of high-glycemic carbohydrates such as potato and tapioca, which are often cited as a major cause of obesity and diabetes.
Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Cat Kitten is rich in protein while containing limited amounts of carbohydrates such as lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, greens, and fruits, which dramatically reduce potential fat storage.
