Raw Diet &
Nutrition

My kittens eat better than most humans. That is not a joke — it is years of research, obsession, and watching what real food does to the health of a cat. Here is exactly what we feed, why we feed it, and how you can do it too.

✦   The Foundation

Diet Is
Everything.

I have spent years obsessing over what goes into my cats’ bodies. Not because I had to — because I watched what the right food does, and I could never go back. Every kitten that leaves Inara’s has been raised on a nutritional foundation that supports lifelong health, beautiful coats, and the kind of energy and temperament that makes our families fall in love instantly.

The foundation of our program is simple and intentional: Royal Canin Kitten dry kibble, Sheba wet food, homemade cooked meals, and freeze dried raw protein. This combination was designed with one specific goal — to produce a kitten that will thrive in any home, at any budget, with any lifestyle. Not every family has time to grind raw meat. Not every family has three deep freezers. And that is completely fine. Our nutrition program works for everyone.

This program is endorsed by holistic veterinarians including Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Lisa A. Pierson — two of the most respected voices in feline nutrition.

How We Actually Feed
at Inara’s

Our program is designed to be real, flexible, and achievable — for us and for you. We rotate proteins, we cook at home, and we supplement smart. Here is exactly how it works.

Our daily feeding is a rotation of Royal Canin Kitten dry kibble as the base, Sheba wet food, our own Instapot cooked chicken recipe, and freeze dried raw protein as a topper and treat. We rotate proteins weekly to prevent intolerance and ensure variety.

We also use Viva Raw pre-made raw food for families who want to incorporate raw without the prep work. No grinder required. No deep freezers. Just clean, high-quality raw food delivered to your door.

Every kitten leaves already eating this rotation — so the transition to your home is smooth, not stressful.

Want to go full bulk raw? Our friend and fellow breeder Roxy at Ethereal Persians has an incredible homemade raw recipe program. If you want to go deep on grinding your own raw at scale, she is the person to learn from. Visit her recipe at etherealpersians.com — full credit to Roxy for this incredible resource.

What Every Kitten
Goes Home Eating

Every kitten at Inara’s is weaned onto a carefully designed nutritional foundation before they go home. This is not random — it is intentional, proven, and the basis of our Lifetime Health Guarantee.

Our Lifetime Health Guarantee requires that Royal Canin dry kibble be maintained as the base dry food for the life of your cat. This is the one non-negotiable. Everything else can be supplemented, expanded, and improved — but the Royal Canin dry base stays.
