Summary

Affinity Advance Sterilized Junior For Young Cats (From Sterilisation Until 24 Months) is a dry cat food specifically formulated to support the unique nutritional needs of sterilized kittens from the time of neutering up to 24 months of age.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, a high-quality animal protein source that provides essential amino acids necessary for muscle development and tissue repair during a kitten’s rapid growth phase.
With a high crude protein content of 38% and moderate fat at 12.5%, the formula supports lean muscle growth while helping to manage weight gain, a common concern in sterilized young cats.
The inclusion of L-carnitine (500 mg/kg) promotes fat metabolism, aiding in the prevention of excess weight accumulation during this critical developmental stage.
Balanced mineral levels, including the addition of ammonium chloride (5 g/kg), help regulate urinary pH, supporting urinary tract health in sterilized kittens who may be more prone to urinary issues.
Digestive health is supported by highly digestible ingredients such as rice and hydrolyzed animal proteins, along with functional fibers like beet pulp, pea fiber, and chicory inulin (0.4%) that promote healthy gut flora and stool quality.
Essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (2.3%), contribute to skin integrity, coat shine, and overall anti-inflammatory support.
Added immunoglobulin-rich pork plasma proteins (0.4%) and yeast concentrate (0.08%) provide immune system support, which is especially important during the early life stages.
Vitamins A, C, D3, and E are included at functional levels to support vision, bone development, antioxidant defense, and immune function.
The kibble is designed in a smaller size to accommodate the smaller mouths of young cats, encouraging proper chewing and ease of eating.

Pros
Expand All
1

High protein content for growth

At 38%, the protein level supports rapid muscle and tissue development in growing sterilized kittens.
2

Weight management support

L-carnitine inclusion helps metabolize fat and maintain a healthy body condition post-sterilization.
3

Urinary health formulation

Balanced minerals and ammonium chloride help maintain optimal urinary pH to reduce the risk of urinary tract issues.
4

Digestive support ingredients

Chicory inulin, beet pulp, and hydrolyzed proteins enhance nutrient absorption and promote gut health.
5

Immune system reinforcement

Natural sources of immunoglobulins and nucleotides from pork plasma and yeast concentrate support developing immune defenses.
6

Skin and coat health

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids contribute to a healthy skin barrier and glossy coat.
Cons
Expand All
1

Use of multiple plant proteins

such as maize protein, wheat protein, and whole maize, can increase carbohydrate load and may be less digestible than animal proteins.
2

Contains grains

The inclusion of maize, rice, and wheat makes it unsuitable for cats requiring grain-free diets.
3

Moderate ash content

At 7.5%, the ash level may be high for kittens with early renal sensitivities or those prone to urinary issues.
4

Unspecified mineral levels

While urinary pH control is claimed, exact levels of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are not disclosed, limiting full assessment of mineral balance.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocating fresh meat or fish ingredient(s), as explained in Rule 7: Quality and Location Impact of Meat Ingredients
Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
