Cats are designed to eat
raw, unprocessed foods. And holistic vets have been recommending raw
foods for cats for over 20 years. Dry cats foods have been cooked and
pelletized, thus robbing them of natural nutrients and enzymes. That's
why we blend Sojourner Farms European-Style Cat Food Mix from simple,
uncooked, all-natural ingredients. We want it to be as close as
possible to cats food the way nature intended.
That means no
preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors – only wholesome,
human-quality ingredients like steamed-rolled oats, ground pecans, and
buttermilk powder. And because there are no fillers in Sojourner
Farms, there’s much more nutrition in every bite – meaning your cat
eats less, and your food lasts typically twice as long as most other
brands. If you’d like, you can also add raw or steamed vegetables to
Sojourner Farms.
It’s a simple, easy way
to make your own complete and balanced cat food – and it only takes a
couple of minutes a day. In short, we’ve done everything we can to
make this food the best thing you can do for your cat. Give it a try.
We’re 100% confident that the results will amaze you, and we back it
up with a money-back guarantee. Sojourner Farms European-Style Cat
Food Mix is the best of both worlds. It offers the superior nutrition
of a raw diet, with the ease and convenience that people are looking
for.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This food is
not like ordinary pet food, so it's important to take your time
whenintroducing your cat to Sojourner Farms. To ensure a
smooth gentle transition, we suggest gradually switching -- a
little bit at a time -- over a period of at least 3 weeks.
For finicky or sick animals, you may have to take longer to
switch.
FEEDING
DIRECTIONS FOR CATS
For normal cats, use a 1:1 ratio. Mix
Sojourner Farms with water and meat and let sit for at least 10
minutes. For best results, soak overnight in the fridge and add
meat. Use the following charts to determine the amount of Sojourner
Farms (dry weight), water, and meat to feed per day. The amount of
water you feed can vary if you would like to make a thicker mixture.
We recommend once-a-day feeding for adult cats. If you plan to feed
twice per day, simply divide these amounts by two.

HELPFUL TIPS
• We also encourage adding feeding raw
or steamed vegetables. Start by adding 1/4 cups of chopped veggies
in addition to the regular feeding amounts. Try potatoes,
cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, apples, and bananas. Avoid tomatoes,
oranges, lemons, onion, and other highly acidic fruits and
vegetables.
• The longer you soak Sojourner
Farms -- the more digestible it becomes. A few minutes is sufficient
for most cats, but some will require a longer soaking time. For best
results, soak overnight. For skinny cats, adding avocados helps to
put on pounds, and we've also had excellent results when people mix
in a little bit of alfalfa (which can be found at most health food
stores).
• For finicky, ill, or older cats,
convert slower, starting with just a small dollop of fresh food on
top of the old food, and a gradual increase over 5-6 weeks. Soup
stock or tuna juice for cats can also be used instead of water.
Don't feed tuna meat though.
• To save time, combine up to 5
days of Sojourner Farms mix with meat and water, cover, and
refrigerate. Or you can freeze the mixture for a more extended
period in portion-sized baggies.
