At HCCF we feed all the sanctuary animals a natural, fresh, raw diet to ensure optimal health and longevity, excellent gut health and a resilient immune system. A balanced raw diet consists of pure muscle meat, bone and offal, it replicates what cats would eat naturally, just as they do when they go hunting!

When it comes to disease, we believe prevention is better than cure.

Processed foods such as tinned and dried food, although convenient, aren’t the healthiest food option for your cat. These are cooked at high temperatures and so have very little nutrition left at the end, they also full of fillers such as grains, wheat, starchy sugars and preservatives, and many more unhealthy ingredients that actually cause chronic inflammation, dehydration and ultimately ill health. Processed foods cause the gut bacteria to be unhealthy due to the lack of water content in dry food, poor quality ingredients and the processing of the food itself leaving it with little to no nutritional value. If the gut is unhealthy, the immune system is compromised.

Not only is raw feeding the healthiest option, but its even more important to feed special needs cats that have suffered nerve damage or have loss of control to the bowels a fresh raw diet as this ensures diarrhoea and constipation are prevented and the feces is the right consistency to prevent megacolon.

Raw feeding is natural, healthy, quick and easy. With so many choices of complete raw cat food now, its never been easier to give your pet the best. It’s also very affordable and is often cheaper than most processed foods! Simply purchase a good quality complete raw food, defrost and serve at room temperature. We help lots of owners transition to raw, if you’d like guidance and support please get in touch and well be happy to help you and your pet.
