Fresh Raw Cat Food - Under 5kg Cat
All of our meat is sourced from Australian farmers, including grass fed and pasture-raised animals. Our raw cat food mixes include human-grade meat with zero additives, preservatives or fillers.
They all include meat and offal, with options with and without bone so that you can choose when and how to include in your cat's diet. To ensure an appropriate mix of vitamins and minerals, we recommend feeding a rotation of proteins.
Essentials Chicken: chicken meat, chicken bone & cartilage and beef offal | Essentials Duck: Duck meat, duck bones and duck offal | Essentials Kangaroo: Kangaroo mince and beef offal
Q: Are CDK9 Raw mixes safe for cats?
A: Yes — our Essentials Mixes are suitable for cats, particularly Chicken and Kangaroo. They contain species-appropriate ingredients with no fillers or preservatives.
Q: Can I feed my cat raw every day?
A: Absolutely. Our mixes are made from human-grade ingredients and designed for daily feeding. Ensure the mix includes bone or supplement calcium separately if needed.
Q: What if my cat won’t eat raw food?
A: Start slow — mix with their current food and increase raw gradually. Some cats respond better to slightly warmed (not cooked) portions to release aroma.
Q: Is the Chicken Essentials Mix suitable for cats?
A: Yes — it includes finely ground bone and offal. It’s great for cats needing a prey-style diet and supports oral and bone health.
Q: What’s a good bone-free option for cats?
A: The Kangaroo Cat Mix is bone-free and ideal for cats on a customised raw diet or with sensitivities to calcium sources.
Q: How do I store and serve raw food for cats?
A: Store frozen. Defrost in the fridge and serve chilled or at room temperature. Use within 2–3 days of defrosting and do not refreeze.
Customer Reviews
We changed from premium dry food, to raw food for our cats and the change was remarkable. There is significantly less vomiting as they eat the raw food slower, the kitty litter trays hardly even smell now, they’re drinking less water and urinating less as they’re more hydrated, and overall it just seems better for their health!
My kitten loves this it's so fresh and perfectly packed and delivered quickly. Will always purchase again thanks
High quality food that I can’t deny, but the ordering system is not clear or really shouldn’t offer any day of the week other than Friday or Sunday. First subscription a week late due to the day the system took out the payment. Called said it was fixed and it happened again this time.
So, my advice is to set up any recurring order to be a week earlier than you need it, as Lord knows if you will get it when you need it. #thoughts&prayers

My cat loves this food. The chicken is a favourite as is the kangaroo! Especially the kangaroo! The packaging is a little annoying for me as I have terrible arthritis and it can be difficult to get all of the meat out of the pack. And then I have to wash it thoroughly before I can bin it. So it’s time consuming. Otherwise my little ginger girl who has just turned 6 gobbles this up with absolute delight! And since being on this food she has lost the weight she has needed to and her energy is up up up! And her coat is glossy gorgeous!
Thanks for your review Maria! We are glad you're ginger girl loves the food and we love to see her enjoying it on her licki mat. We have a new complete cat product on the way, so keep an eye out for it when it drops. And we'll be sure to pass on your feedback around the packaging - Thanks CDK9 Raw
My cat loves the chicken mix! She’s still a growing kitten and I accidentally ran out the other week, my cat was not interested in some canned food I got her. As soon as the raw meat arrived she dug right in. She gobbles it up! I attached a video of her from when she was just a tiny kitten. The team at CDK9 is always so so helpful!
