Kittens need energy. As they explore their surroundings, they’re constantly burning calories. That means kittens need food which provides them with a good source of energy, while helping their muscles to grow at a rate that doesn’t put too much strain on their young bones.

A good kitten food will be rich in a variety of animal proteins to fuel growth and be high in meat content to support muscle development. ORIJEN Kitten is packed with 90%* premium animal ingredients like fresh chicken, raw turkey and raw salmon. With nutritious Wholeprey ingredients like meat, organs and bone, it’s everything they need to thrive! ORIJEN Kitten also includes fresh meat, preserved only by refrigeration, to maintain optimum nutrition, palatability and digestibility. Your kitten needs the correct balance of calcium for strong bones, as well as fatty acids to support their organs.

Some of our other ORIJEN cat foods are also suitable for all life stages with the exeption of ORIJEN Fit & Trim and ORIJEN Guardian 8. Contact our Customer Care team for further information and advice.

Cats are often fed the same food for a long period of time, which means a sudden food change makes it difficult for their digestive systems to adapt. That’s why It’s important to introduce new food gradually. Going slowly will give your kitten time to adjust to their new food and will also reduce the chances of digestive upset. Start by mixing 25 percent new food with 75 percent old food. Slowly increase the new food proportionately over the next 10-14 days until you are feeding 100 percent new food.

It is recommended to start with the feeding portions as suggested on the pet food packaging. Weighing your kitten’s daily feeding allowance allows you to monitor their intake. You may need to adjust portions as you learn your kitten’s ideal daily ‘maintenance’ amount, based on your kitten’s body condition. These amounts may also change over time as your kitten ages. As ORIJEN cat foods are highly palatable, you need to be careful not to overfeed, as this can cause issues such as loose stool or unwanted weight gain.
