Food
- Choose balanced diets suitable for your cat’s age. Kittens need high protein for energy. Older cats often need lower calories because they’re less active
- See what Animal Welfare League NSW has to offer – we have quality animal food at competitive prices at our shelter and vet clinic. What you spend with us will help support our work
- Animal Welfare League NSW believes that cats should be fed high-quality cat food. We sell balanced diets that are right for your cat’s age
- Check with your vet about any special needs your cat may have – like a sensitive stomach or skin, control of weight or furballs
- Don’t overfeed your cat. If cats get too fat this can make them very unhealthy
- Kittens should be fed small meals regularly, perhaps three or four times a day. By around six months old, a cat can start eating two meals a day
What to avoid
- Avoid feeding a cat table scraps – they can be high in calories, making your cat fat and unhealthy
- Avoid oriental lilies as these can cause serious illness to cats
- Avoid cooked bones or large animal bones – these can shatter and cause serious illness
