Summary

Nature’s Protection Kitten for up to 1 year old kittens with Poultry is a complete dry formula tailored for growing kittens, built around poultry as the primary animal protein to support lean muscle development.
The first ingredient is dried and finely ground poultry meat, a concentrated, highly digestible source of essential amino acids needed for tissue growth and repair.
At 29% crude protein and 14% fat, the recipe provides growth-ready energy while supplying enough protein to build and maintain developing muscles and organs.
Poultry fat contributes energy density and omega-6 fatty acids that help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Antarctic krill meal and salmon oil add marine omega-3s (EPA/DHA) and choline, supporting brain and vision development, cardiovascular function, and a balanced inflammatory response.
Dried eggs and fish meal diversify the amino acid profile, enhancing overall protein quality and supporting robust growth.
Sugar beet pulp, chicory extract, and brewer’s yeast provide fermentable fibers and prebiotic support for a stable gut microbiome and regular stools, while yucca extract helps reduce stool odor.
Dynamic micronized clinoptilolite (MicroZeoGen) at 1% functions as a natural zeolite that can bind certain toxins in the gut and support immune health.
Vitamins A (18,000 IU/kg), D3 (1,500 IU/kg), and E (530 mg/kg), together with essential trace minerals (iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc, selenium), contribute to antioxidant defense, skeletal development, and immune function.
Taurine and L-carnitine are included to support heart function, vision, and efficient fat metabolism in active, growing kittens, while calcium (0.95%), phosphorus (0.8%), sodium (0.4%), and potassium (0.6%) help underpin bone mineralization and electrolyte balance.

Pros
Expand All
1

Poultry-first animal protein

Dried, finely ground poultry meat as the first ingredient provides highly digestible amino acids for lean muscle development.
2

Growth-supportive macronutrients

29% protein and 14% fat deliver the energy and building blocks kittens need during rapid growth.
3

Marine omega-3s and choline

Krill meal and salmon oil supply EPA/DHA and choline to support brain and eye development and cardiovascular health.
4

Digestive and stool support

Sugar beet pulp, chicory extract, and brewer’s yeast aid gut microbiota and stool quality, while yucca helps reduce stool odor.
5

Toxin-binding zeolite

MicroZeoGen (clinoptilolite) at 1% can bind certain gut toxins and help support immune resilience.
6

Antioxidant and skin/coat care

Vitamin E at 530 mg/kg and essential fatty acids from poultry fat and linseed promote a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
Cons
Expand All
1

Includes grains and plant proteins

Rice, maize, and maize gluten increase carbohydrate content and add plant-derived protein, which some owners prefer to limit for kittens.
2

Multiple animal protein sources

Poultry, fish meal, dried eggs, and krill may not suit cats needing a single-protein or limited-ingredient approach for sensitivities.
3

Fatty acid levels not quantified

Omega-3 and omega-6 totals (and DHA/EPA amounts) are not disclosed, making it hard to assess the fatty acid balance.
4

Key nutrient gaps in disclosure

Magnesium and metabolizable energy are not provided, limiting evaluation of urinary mineral balance and calorie density.
5

Taurine listing lacks context

Taurine is declared at 250 mg without a per‑kilogram basis, making comparison to other kitten foods difficult.
6

Moderate ash content

At 6.1%, the mineral load is notable and may warrant attention for kittens with specific urinary or mineral-intake considerations.

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.
