KatKin

What's in the box: Pre-portioned pouches of gently cooked, frozen fresh cat food, tailored to your cat's calorie needs.

KatKin is a UK subscription service that delivers fresh cat food to your door. The recipes are made from what the company calls 100% human-quality meat. The food is gently cooked and then frozen, and it contains no preservatives. KatKin says the recipes are designed by a Board-Certified Vet Nutritionist to be complete and balanced, so they can be fed as a cat's full diet rather than as a topper. Signing up starts with questions about your cat, and KatKin uses the answers to portion meals to match that cat's daily calorie needs. This could help owners who are trying to manage their cat's weight. KatKin says the recipes contain no grains, fillers or added sugars, and it describes itself as an independent brand. You can update, pause or cancel the subscription at any time, which makes it fairly low risk to try. The site shows a 4.6 out of 5 Trustpilot rating from more than 14,000 reviews. The main trade-offs are practical. The food arrives frozen, so you need freezer space, and you have to plan ahead to thaw it. Fresh food also tends to cost more than ordinary wet or dry food. Many of the health claims on the site come from the company itself, so treat them as marketing rather than independent findings.
