Balanced Homemade Raw food is the best food option for your cat/kitten as it most closely resembles what nature intended for them to eat and provides the best nutrition. 

Here at Nautilus Persian we make our cats and kittens delicious and nutritious Homemade Raw Food containing a ratio of 75% meat, 15% bone and 10% organs. We grind whole chickens and boneless pork loin and mix with a purée of eggs, sardine, and chicken livers. Balanced Homemade Raw food is the best food option for your cat/kitten.

Specifically we use our Magnum 1800W Heavy Duty Electric Meat Grinder to grind 5 pounds of chicken drumsticks and 5 pounds of pork loin . Then we blend 1 pound of chicken livers, 0.75 lbs of sardines in tomato and 5 Raw eggs in a dedicated blender. We mix the ground chicken and pork with the blended ingredient and portion into freezer safe containers. An excellent resource for learning more about making your own raw cat food is Cats Completely Raw And Proud (Cat CRAP) on Facebook.

If making raw food completely from scratch isn't your thing, but you still want to make your Persian healthy and nutritious raw food, you can use a Raw Cat Food Supplement Premix. We recommend TCfeline PLUS Beef Liver Raw Cat Food Premix. It is a Premix / Supplement to mix with raw meat to make a Homemade Raw Cat Food Diet . It is a Quick, Easy and Affordable Solution to making Raw food at home. Any meat appropriate for cat consumption can be used with this premix, such as Chicken, Beef, Buffalo, Turkey, pork rabbit and more.

To make nutritious raw food using TCfeline PLUS Beef Liver Raw Cat Food Premix just take raw meat that you have either freshly ground or diced and mix it with one egg, 1/4 cups of mix and 1/2 cup cold water per 2 pounds of ground meat. Then portion into 1/2 cup balls and freeze. The day before the food will be consumed move it to the fridge to thaw until serving.

We understand that many homes are uncomfortable with feeding raw and even if you are feeding raw many families also like to leave down kibble for their Persian cat or kitten to eat at their leisure.

Here at Nautilus Persians we introduce our kittens to Royal Canin Persian Kitten kibble before going to their forever homes to make the transition easier. We have chosen to feed our kittens Royal Canin Persian kibble over other kitten kibble options because it gives Persian kittens a magnificent start with essential antioxidants and vitamins to strengthen immune systems. Highly digestible proteins and prebiotics support maturing digestive systems. Essential nutrients like amino acids, vitamins, and omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids promote healthy hair growth. And the special-shaped kitten kibble is designed to make it easier for little Persian mouths to pick up and chew.

In terms of kibble for adult Persian cats, we recommend feeding Farmina Natural & Delicious Chicken Grain-Free Formula Dry Cat Food. This high protein, limited carbohydrate, and low fiber all life stage cat food is free of grains and glutens. 97% of it's protein is from quality animal sources which makes for a low ash content. The ingredients are also fresh and never frozen for optimum nutrition. It's a low glycemic formula so it's a great option for pets that need a food that won't spike blood sugar. It is a GMO-free formula that doesn't contain peas, lentils, pea protein, chickpeas, or added plants oils. It contains natural omega fatty acids that promote healthy skin and coat while added pomegranate and berries are rich in antioxidants to help fight free radicals.
