Highly Recommended

Tiki Cat Filets wet product range is made up of two recipes which both receive the Cat Food Advisor highest rating, 5 stars.

This range of recipes is very limited in ingredients because each one is simply a filet of fish.  One is salmon, the other tuna.  This is a good food to consider for your cat as it is totally natural.

Pros
  • Whole salmon filet
  • 100% non-GMO
  • Very high protein
Cons
  • Only two formulas to choose from
  • More expensive than some cat foods
  • Not complete & balanced to AAFCO nutrient profiles

The table below shows each recipe in the range including our rating and the AAFCO nutrient profile: Growth (kitten), Maintenance (adult), All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.

Nutrient Analysis

Based on its ingredients alone, Tiki Cat Filet Salmon recipe looks like an above-average wet product.

As a group, the brand features an above-average protein content of 82.3% and a below-average fat level of 8.5%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 1.2% for the overall product line, alongside a fat to protein ratio of 11%.

About

Tiki Cat was founded in 2005 by husband and wife, Christine and Robert Hackett. 

Christine had previously worked in research and development for PetCo and during that time decided that the pet food market needed a new kind of diet, food that is more species-appropriate, fewer grains and carbohydrates. 

Christine is also a big fan of Polynesian culture which explains the tiki-style branding.
