Bringing home a new kitten after a cat kitten adoption near me search, or fostering through a cat kitten rescue near me? Ask our team in-store about transitioning a rescue kitten onto a new diet gradually.
How do I feed Orijen Kitten to my cat?
Feed as a complete daily diet, following the feeding guide on the bag based on your kitten's age and current weight. Split the daily amount across 2–3 meals for younger kittens, and always provide fresh water alongside dry food.
How do I transition from another food?
Transition gradually over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Orijen Kitten into the previous food. A slower transition helps sensitive kittens adjust without digestive upset.
