What we do at KatKin

For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin goes hardcore for cat health. We make the UK's most popular fresh cat food: 100% human-quality meat, gently cooked, and frozen for freshness.


Where the competition cuts corners, catfishes customers and puts profits over health, we put cat wellbeing first. No shortcuts. No secret recipes. We're cutting the fluff, thinking fresh and channelling hardcore love into industry-wide change. So cats live long and cat parents can love hard without compromise.


Having started as a two person team in 2019, founders Brett and Nikki have grown KatKin from a small startup to a leading pet-food industry disruptor kick-starting a new category of healthier cat food in the UK - "Fresh". Our vet formulated, science backed recipes are now delivered to 60,000+ cats UK wide, and counting.
