Highly recommend

I tried this food with a litter of Ragdolls and absolutely love it! The kitties enjoy it, it’s smaller and easier to chew for them and I felt confident about them receiving proper nutrition. Price is high but you get what you pay for. Would recommend this food to anyone with a pregnant cat or litter of kittens.

Changed formula?

All six cats that I feed love this product and I have bought it for two years now. The bag I got yesterday however was not the same. The kibble was lighter in color and half the thickness - more like confetti than the previous small but solid little pieces. I feel like I have been sent a counterfeit product (from Chewy.com). Have you changed the formula?

Wonderful food for my little foster babies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use quite a bit of this food for my foster kittens. They seem to like the taste and small size of the kibble.

Great for mom and kittens!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our rescue loves this for our moms to keep them healthy. When the kittens are weaned it's great for them too as starter food. They love the taste. Actually all cats do and we have to keep the adults away from it!

MEOW

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I foster and rescue kittens and cats. Usually the cats and kittens we get are not in the best health. We have found that mothers and their litters do very well eating this food. They gain weight faster, their coats look good plus it helps keep their digestive system operating properly. Best of all the mother and kittens like this food dry or with a little water added.

Mother and baby cat dry food review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do kitten rescue and have found this to be the best to support young kittens when they begin to eat kibble. Very small in size and the kittens really like it.

Great kibble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for a litter of mom and babies and it sure helped the kittens when they started eating dry. Mom loved it and so did the ittens. The smaller pieces make it easier for small mouths but most of all they benefited from the nutritiont hey received.

The best dry kibble for weaning and young kittens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I rescue cats and kittens and Mother & Babycat is by far the best food that I have come across for small orphan kittens as well as kittens weaning from their mothers. I find the mom cats also LOVE this food! The kibble size is very small which is perfect for kittens under 12 weeks. I rescue at least a hundred kittens a year and go through bags and bags of Royal Canin. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Kitty loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Breeder gave us a bag when we got our Bengal. He gobbles this stuff up! I’m glad it has the nutrition he needs for his little energetic body.
