Feringa Kitten Classic Poultry

Austrian-made grain-free kibble with real vegetables in the recipe, not just on the label.

Feringa kitten food pairs 23% fresh chicken and 23% dried poultry protein with 4% dried pumpkin and 1% broccoli, finished with salmon oil and egg. The protein level and calcium to phosphorus ratio are calibrated specifically for growth, and the ingredient list contains only what is declared on the bag.

Key Benefits

• Fresh poultry leads the recipe: 23% fresh chicken alongside 23% dried poultry protein. Fresh meat is more digestible for a young cat than dried meal alone, and the combination delivers consistent protein across every batch.
• Real vegetables with a purpose: 4% dried pumpkin provides soluble fibre for gut health. 1% dried broccoli contributes vitamins C and K. These are not decoration on the label.
• Growth-appropriate mineral balance: Calcium and phosphorus are balanced at the ratios a growing kitten's skeleton needs. Getting this wrong during the first year causes joint and bone problems that become visible later.
• Salmon oil and egg: 1% salmon oil supplies omega-3 fatty acids for skin and brain development. 1% powdered egg adds a highly digestible, complete protein source.
• Nothing artificial: No artificial colours, aromas or preservatives. Made in Austria under EU feed manufacturing standards with the recipe restricted to declared ingredients only.

Nutrition & Quality

Feringa is produced in Austria with the recipe limited to what is declared on the packaging. Energy is 4,017 kcal per kg (ME, FEDIAF 2022), which suits the high metabolic demand of a kitten that may be burning three times the energy of an adult cat relative to body weight. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are included as a prebiotic to support gut flora during a period when the digestive system is still establishing itself. Taurine is supplemented at 1,500mg per kg, essential since cats cannot synthesise enough of their own and a deficiency affects heart function and vision. Catnip at 0.1% is included for palatability, though kittens under six months generally do not respond to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is grain-free better for kittens?
Cats are obligate carnivores and derive no nutritional value from cereal grains. Grain-free removes a category of ingredients that can occasionally trigger digestive reactions, and it aligns the diet more closely with what a cat's system is built to process. It is not essential for every kitten, but it is never a disadvantage.

When should I switch to adult food?
Around twelve months for most breeds. Larger breeds such as Maine Coons and Ragdolls continue growing to eighteen months and should stay on kitten food until they have finished. Transition gradually over ten to fourteen days to avoid digestive upset.

Which pack size makes the best sense to start with?
The 400g bag. Once you confirm your kitten eats it well, the 2kg or 6.5kg bags bring the cost per kilogram down significantly and suit households that go through food quickly.
