ORIJEN Fit & Trim Cat
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | FOR CATS
FRESH FREE-RUN CHICKEN & TURKEY, CAGE-FREE EGGS, AND WILD-CAUGHT FISH
TO PROMOTE PEAK BODY CONDITIONING, CATS NEED A DIET RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN.
ORIJEN Fit & Trim is nutrient-dense with 44% richly nourishing protein, 85% quality animal ingredients, and a unique blend of fibres to nourish cats according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
2/3 of the meats are FRESH (refrigerated, without preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, without preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
1/3 of the meat ingredients are prepared at 90°C from fresh free-run chicken and turkey, and wild-caught fish to create a concentrated source of rich protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
Evolutionary WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus fresh, whole fish and cage-free eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat needs.
Infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for selective eaters.
Meat Math
IS YOUR CAT'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?
Cats are hunters and, just like their wild cousins, their teeth, jaws, and digestive system are all adapted for meat-concentrated diets that are rich in fresh meat and meat diversity.
Biologically Appropriate cat foods mirror the natural diet and answer three meat questions:
HOW MUCH?
- 85% Meat Inclusions
-
ORIJEN leads its class in premium meat inclusions.
-
All from animals from federally inspected facilities prior to inclusion in our foods.
HOW FRESH?
- 2/3 of meats are FRESH or RAW and loaded with goodness.
- 1/3 is dried at low temperature for a premium protein source.
HOW MANY:
- 7 Different Animals in Wholeprey Ratios
- Free-Run Chicken
- Free-Run Turkey
- Whole Nest Laid Eggs
- Wild-Caught Pacific Herring
- Wild-Caught Pacific Mackrel
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Flounder
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Hake
- A variety of meats in WholePrey ratios supply nutrients naturally, dramatically reducing the need for synthetic supplements.
3 SUPPLEMENTS – ZINC, COPPER, AND CHOLINE
In nature there are no synthetic supplements, so cats derive their complete nutritional needs naturally by consuming whole animals, which contain all of the nutrients they need to thrive. That’s why you won’t find long lists of synthetics in ORIJEN cat foods.
Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus fresh, whole fish and cage-free eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat needs to thrive.

Analysis
Although they may look different, your cat shares her DNA and eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat, which means she’s adapted for a diet rich and varied in meat — not high-glycemic carbohydrates and grains.

Your cat or kitten is unique and her feeding requirements will vary with her environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides that can be found in the product images, and then monitoring her weight and adjusting portions as needed.
Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.
† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.

Nature's Rules
OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY
The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. While years of breeding have produced different kinds of cats, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our five Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meat that cats have evolved to eat.
RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (42%)
All cats are adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. Their sharp teeth and body mechanics are designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is created to nourish your cat or kitten according to her biological needs.
- 85% quality animal ingredients (2/3 FRESH or RAW; 1/3 gently dehydrated)
- 44% richly nourishing protein
- 15% vegetables and fruit
- NO grains or gluten
RICH MEAT INCLUSIONS (2/3)
- 2/3 of the meat ingredients are FRESH or RAW, supplying your cat with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
- 1/3 are dehydrated at a low temperature for a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
- Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN.
AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT
In nature, cats benefit from an assortment of meats. This variety is often lost in conventional cat foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Fit & Trim features a rich diversity of fresh meats in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:
- Fresh free-run chicken from prairie farms
- Fresh free-run turkey from prairie farms
- Fresh, whole Pacific herring, mackerel, flounder, and hake, wild-caught from North Vancouver Island
WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in ratios that mirror nature and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic supplements.
- Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
- Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your cat needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
- Cartilage or Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in natural form your cat’s body can easily absorb.
