Switching multiple cats

Updated this week

If you have more than 1 cat, switching to a new cat food might be a bit more difficult. Especially if they have different preferences at mealtimes, but don’t worry, we’re here to help.

All my cats love the food, but I don’t have the freezer space

If you have more than 1 cat, getting a monthly delivery might take up more freezer space than you have available.

We have a few options to help make this work, depending on

  1. How many cats you have

  2. Their recommended portion size

  3. The amount of food you can fit in your freezer

Get in touch with our Cat Experts and we can help work out a custom plan for you and your cats that suits the availability of your freezer space.

Staggering your deliveries

First to check this is possible for your cats, log into your account to check which portion size your cats are on.

For 2-3 cats on the same tray size, you can stagger their deliveries.

2 cats on the standard monthly plan:

  1. Click manage plan for one cat

  2. Set the delivery date to be 2 weeks after your other cat’s delivery date

  3. Sit back and relax!

This means, you’ll get 1 box of food delivered to share between both cats and then the other cat’s box is delivered 2 weeks later.

You’ll still only pay one delivery charge of £2.99, even if the deliveries are on separate days - result!

It means you won’t receive 56 trays of KatKin at once, but instead spread over 2 deliveries, at no extra cost.

2 cats on the 6 week Saver plan:

  1. Click manage plan for one cat

  2. Set the delivery date to be 3 weeks after your other cat’s delivery date

  3. Save the delivery date and wait for your email confirmation.

This means, you’ll get 1 box of food delivered to share between both cats and then the other cat’s box is delivered 3 weeks later.

It means you won’t receive 84 trays of KatKin at once, but instead spread over 2 deliveries, at no extra cost.

Tip! If you need to change the delivery date at any point, you’ll need to remember to adjust your other cat’s delivery to be inline with the new date as this doesn’t happen automatically.

3 cats on the 6 week Saver plan:

  1. Click manage plan for your second cat

  2. Set the delivery date to be 2 weeks after your first cat’s delivery date

  3. Click manage plan for your third cat

  4. Set the delivery date to be 4 weeks after your first cat’s delivery date.

  5. You’ll get 1 box every 2 weeks, for 6 weeks in total.

It means you won’t receive 126 trays of KatKin at once, but instead spread over 3 deliveries, at no extra cost.

Tip! If you need to change the delivery date at any point, you’ll need to remember to adjust your other cat’s delivery to be inline with the new date as this doesn’t happen automatically.

What happens if one of my cat’s is eating KatKin but the other cat isn’t?

Some cats need more time than others to switch to a new food and their behaviour might surprise you.

If after 2 weeks, one of your cats still isn’t a fan, get in touch with our Cat Experts. We can work out a delivery schedule that suits you best, whether that means delaying or pausing one of your cat’s deliveries.

A lot of our customers continue to successfully feed fresh to at least one cat and our flexible plans help you do this. Sometimes, after several weeks or even months, other cat parents find that their cat’s opinions can change too. Keep them exposed to KatKin, and they might decide to take a bite!

Give your cat a break

If your cat isn’t interested in any KatKin recipes yet and you’ve tried all the tips in our Fussy cat guide, switch back to their regular food.

Their leftover trays in your freezer can be given to your other cats, but if they’re different tray sizes, get in touch with our Cat Experts and we can help you work out how to portion the remaining food.

Tip! You can check which tray size your cats receive by looking at the white box on the bottom of a tray. It should say something like 200kcal or 350kcal.

Try again in the future

If you need to pause your cat’s plan, we’ll keep their details saved on file. That way, it’s easy for you to reactivate their subscription at any time if they decide KatKin is for them!
