For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin is revolutionising cat health by transforming the lives of cats through superior nutrition. We’re Europe’s first fresh-cooked cat food, made with 100% human-grade meat, gently cooked and frozen to lock in freshness. As a disruptor in the $185bn pet food market, KatKin was founded to challenge the low standards set by the traditional cat food industry, which is worth $50bn globally and is this fastest growing segment in the pet care market. The concept for fresh food is well established in the US, particularly in Dog, with the Farmers’ Dog surpassing >$1B in sales proving the scale of the opportunity. KatKin is vertically integrated across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. To date, we've delivered around 35 million fresh meals to over 200,000 happy, healthy cats across the UK. Our team of over 130 spans all locations, including Clerkenwell, London, the US, and our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Haverhill, Suffolk. We also have customer service teams in both London and South Africa. KatKin operates a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model supported by a first-class, dedicated customer service team, allowing us to build valuable relationships and foster a passionate customer community. In addition to our eCommerce channel, our Fresh food and Pantry products are also sold through a growing number of select third-party platforms, including Ocado, Amazon, and Pets at Home. Where the competition cuts corners, catfishes customers, and puts profits over health, KatKin puts cat well-being first. No shortcuts. No secret recipes. We’re cutting the fluff, thinking fresh, and channelling hardcore love into industry-wide change. So cats live long and cat parents can love hard without compromise. We’re all-in for cats, and it shows: our energy will blow you away from day one.
