The Acana Indoor Cat food is specially formulated for cats that live indoors: slightly reduced calories for weight management, miscanthus and pea fibres to help control hairballs. 37% protein, 14% fat. Multi-protein poultry with a little rabbit and raw herring. With oat groats as an ancient grain. Taurine 400 mg/kg and L-carnitine for metabolism. Made in Canada by Champion Petfoods.
🐱 Indoor-cat specific: 37% protein, controlled calories
Fat reduced to 14% (vs 18% in other Acana cat recipes), miscanthus fibre for hairballs, L-carnitine for fat metabolism. Multi-protein: chicken, turkey, herring, rabbit.
🐱 Why a specific recipe for indoor cats?
Indoor cats have a lower energy expenditure than outdoor cats, and are more prone to hairballs because they tend to groom more (and have limited access to grass). Acana Indoor Cat meets both needs: reduced fat (14% vs 18% standard) for weight control, and miscanthus fibre (a large grass species) that helps ingested hair pass naturally through the digestive system.
💪 Why 37% protein for a cat?
The cat is a obligate carnivore : its body is designed to get most of its energy from protein, not carbohydrates. 37% protein is an excellent level for an adult cat, even a sedentary one. It helps maintain muscle mass and tone, even in "indoor cat" mode.

| Cat weight | Daily serving (approx.) |
|---|---|
| 2 kg (4 lb) | 1/4 to 3/8 cup |
| 4 kg (9 lb) | 1/2 to 5/8 cup |
| 6 kg (13 lb) | 2/3 to 3/4 cup |

Yes, in fact that is its main use case. The miscanthus fibres help ingested hair pass through the digestive system instead of clumping into hairballs. Pair this food with regular brushing for best results.
For a cat that goes out regularly and uses more energy, look for a more energy-dense formula such as Acana Wild Prairie or Grassland (18% fat). For a cat that rarely goes out, Indoor Cat is still appropriate.
Yes, it contains oat groats, a nutritious ancient grain. For cats with grain allergies, look instead for Acana Pacifica, Grassland or Wild Prairie for cats, which are grain-free.
The L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps transport fatty acids to cells so they can be turned into energy. For a sedentary cat, it’s a metabolic boost that helps prevent weight gain.
