Best Cat Food for
Indoor Cats

We like how this recipe retains value for money while also putting cats’ health first, using a mix of whole poultry and oil-rich meat meals. This gives Nulo’s formula an impressive animal protein concentration of 82%, plus significant levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

Added nutritional benefit comes in the form of probiotic supplements, dried chicory root, and dried kelp, all designed to support consistent digestion and nutrient absorption. Vitamin A and taurine provide essential components for maintaining eye and heart health.

What are owners saying?

“My cats were chewing through the bag before I even opened this to get to the food. They were already on Nulo but I like this formulation more for adult cats.”

“Bought this originally when my indoor cat had skin issues…I slowly introduced this and in the 6 months he’s been on it exclusively, he no longer has itchy, flaky skin.”

Unlike less responsible producers, this recipe refuses to use grains, wheat, fillers, artificial flavors, meaning that the non-meat ingredients still contribute to your cat’s health through their vitamin and antioxidant content.

What are owners saying?

• “I like to feed my cats a quality, grain-free food. This one is a great price and I’ve been happy. My two boys aren’t particularly picky eaters.”

Aside from being rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, this pack is also fortified with antioxidants, probiotics and omega fatty acids. For an indoor cat with relatively low activity levels, these nutrients are extremely helpful in giving that extra boost in digestion and immune functioning. The omega fatty acids are there to enhance kitty’s skin and coat health – and it seems like they’re working great based on the raving reviews.

• “After trying many different dryer foods for my kitties Purina One has made one that they really enjoy. The salmon flavored Purina One is gone over as a big hit which I’m relieved about because they are really a finicky bunch of four of them are really finicky.

• “Purina One Indoor Advantage is a very good quality dry food with chicken as the #1 ingredient which means a lot. I discussed it with my vet.

What are owners saying?

• “I have 3 indoor cats and 2 outdoor that aren’t really mine but they show up for food. I bought a 2 pound bag to see if the cats like it before spending the money for a bigger bag. Well, as soon as I opened the bag, all 3 indoor cats came running and when I poured the food into their bowls they started to wolf it down.”
• “We have found that the only pet food our cats will eat is this Blue Buffalo Wilderness indoor chicken. They come running when they hear the bag being opened. They are thriving on this product.”

Its formulation is supplemented with essential antioxidants like Vitamin E for a healthy immune system, a natural fiber mixture for healthy digestion and Omega 6 fatty acids for a healthy and shiny coat.

Ingredients such as pea protein and whole brown rice make it higher in carbohydrate content than other foods. However, brown rice is an easily digestible, nutrient rich grain that provides your cat with energy. And while there’s more carb content, there’s still relatively low calories at around 378 calories per cup, making it ideal for indoor cats.

Instinct Raw is a brand who prioritizes sustainable practices, using farm-raised rabbit in this recipe, along with live probiotics to help encourage healthy stool odor. Overall, an awesome combination of fresh ingredients and fewer calories to support a less active, indoor lifestyle.

What are owners saying?

• “We had so many issues with our two cats having diarrhea and vomiting. We were going crazy when even expensive prescription foods weren’t working. I decided to give a partially raw diet a try and WOW. After fully transitioning to it for a whole week the digestive issues in our cats are gone.”
• “They are picky, I tried to switch them years ago and they would not eat the blue buffalo, but they love this one!”

With a relatively low 74 kcal/can this is an ideal wet food to give to indoor cats with sensitive stomachs. Your cat will still be getting valuable nutrients with 11% protein, and 4% fats. This product is specially formulated to support urinary health as well, the product that keeps on giving!

While we recommend this product, it is important to acknowledge that Blue Buffalo does have a reputation for creating a potentially misleading brand image. In other words, their ingredients and recipes are not always as sustainably made as it might seem from their marketing. With its composition of four meat-based ingredients, however, the Healthy Gourmet Pate Salmon Entree is one of Blue Buffalo’s best.

• “Both of my cats think this salmon food rocks. They clean the dish every time.”
• “Bought Buffalo because I saw an ad on TV that it was good food. Both my new cats ate it for about 2 days and then refused to eat it again.”

Cats also need adequate hydration as they age, and their teeth become more delicate. As such you’ll want to get your senior cat wet food, with high fiber, moderate protein, and fats if they are dealing with constipation.

With ocean whitefish as the first ingredient, this recipe is packed with high-quality protein that will help shape up your cat’s muscles. Its soft rich pate texture promotes hydration for a healthy urinary system.
