KatKin’s Opportunity

Did you know that some cat food contains as little as 4% meat? Considering cats need meat to thrive, that’s a problem. Cats have been neglected by the pet food industry for too long, being offered variations of dog food, rather than food designed specifically for their enjoyment and health. KatKin gives cats what they really need and crave - 100% Fresh premium meat. Pure and simple.
