The following page contains the recipe I have been serving my precious babies for several years now. I hope this is helpful to those looking for diet alternatives.

 The recipe we developed is simple, heavy in protein with a base of chicken, liver, and rice with taurine, vitamins and minerals supplemented. Our felines consistently have shinier coats, brighter eyes and more playful demeanors. They approach meal time with real excitement and seem very satisfied.  In addition to maintaining their own bodyweight throughout gestation, our queens deliver healthy and well muscled kittens. I can clearly see a difference in the kittens, especially at birth, with this home made food offered to the adults daily. 

  We generally start with 20lbs of chicken boiled until the meat is just about falling off of the bones.

  The meat is picked off the bones VERY carefully and the end result is this.

    The broth is divided into two portions. One half being diluted with water and then used to cook the rice and the balance used to boil the livers. We generally cook four containers, two for each 10lb bag of chicken.

  After the livers have been boiled in the broth they are then minced and the liquid is the consistently of gravy.

  The rice that has been prepared is then added into the liver base.

    This mixture is tossed through until it is kind of thick but soupy. The chicken is then added.

  We add about three tablespoons of granulated Taurine (available at Cal Vet Supply) and mix throughout.

  (Fun Fact: The AAFCO requires there to be .1% Taurine in dry kibbles and .2% in any commercially produced wet foods)

  The mixture is then packed back into the liver containers (We have plenty now).

       Then stored in the freezer for future use!

 In addition, we do offer our kitties raw meat in an effort to respect nature. I believe that nature still dictates what is best.  What is available and necessary for proper development is often omitted if not commercially viable.
