Nature's Hug Multi-Cat Maintenancefood is a fully plant-based kibble, formulated for active adult cats and multi-cat households. 30% plant protein, 18% fat to channel their energy, added taurine (essential), and a cocktail of superfoods. An appealing option for active cats with food sensitivities.
🌱 100% plant-based, active cat profile
30% protein, 18% fat, added taurine, supplemented essential amino acids. No meat, no fish, no grain. Suitable for multi-cat households with food sensitivities.
⚠️ Important: the cat is an obligate carnivore
Unlike dogs (omnivores), cats are obligate carnivores. A plant-based cat recipe is viable only if it carefully compensates for specific needs (taurine, preformed vitamin A, arachidonic acid). Nature's Hug does this. This recipe is more suitable in specific cases (multiple allergies, considered ethical choice) than as a standard diet. For cats without food issues, a meat-based recipe is often still the most natural choice.

Here are guidelines for an active adult cat (adjust as needed based on age, activity, and body condition):
| Cat weight | Daily portion (approximate) |
|---|---|
| 3 kg (6.6 lb) | 1/3 to 1/2 cup |
| 4 kg (8.8 lb) | 1/2 to 5/8 cup |
| 5 kg (11 lb) | 5/8 to 3/4 cup |
| 6 kg (13 lb) | 3/4 to 7/8 cup |
Fresh water should always be available, especially with dry food. Multiple bowls or a fountain can encourage drinking.
Yes, it's actually one of its strengths. The recipe is versatile and its nutritional profile suits several adult cats at once. If one of your cats has special needs (senior, overweight, hairballs), it may be better to give them a specific formula.
Yes, as long as the recipe is complete and well formulated (as with Nature's Hug: taurine, essential amino acids, added synthetic vitamins). However, it is best suited to specific cases (confirmed multiple allergies, considered ethical choice). For a cat without food issues, we also have excellent meat-based recipes to offer you.
Allow 10 to 14 days for a gentle transition, especially if your cats are coming from a standard meat-based food.
For kittens, Nature's Hug Kitten is more appropriate (higher protein/fat profile for growth).
Nature's Hug is a Canadian brand with a unique approach. The active adult/multi-cat recipe is our recommendation for multi-cat households with food sensitivities. Torn between this recipe and a meat-based option? Our team will help you.
