Feline Future Cat Food Company is, and always has been, a Canadian company and is 100% Canadian owned. TCfeline cat food premixes are Made in Canada. The raw cat food premix, also known as "completer", is a proud Canadian invention developed between 1995-1998 by Feline Future Cat Food Company in Vancouver, BC Canada.
TCfeline cat food premix was created and is available for the benefit of cats. After 30 years, my main motivation remains to provide cats with the best food and, hopefully, prevent the many diseases and disorders that can rob them of quality of life, duration of life, and cause hardship and grief for their humans. This started as the Feline Future Foundation in 1995. Although now operating as Feline Future Cat Food Company, I once again operate as a not-for-profit business to keep the premix affordable in these difficult economic times. The business has no staff, and all aspects are run by me alone, which creates obvious limits, for which I ask your understanding and tolerance.
TCfeline users are advised to reorder one month ahead of running out of cat food premix, as a precaution, in the event of delays on my end and to account for shipping time. I strive to ship orders within 1-2 days of receipt, but within one week is sometimes more realistic. An easy to make cat food recipe is available, see below, if a TCfeline user finds themselves out of premix and needs to bridge a period until their order arrives.

SOME TIPS:
1.) Order two pouches at once to save on shipping per pouch. It costs marginally more to ship two pouches compared to shipping one.
2.) Order two pouches and re-order as soon as you open the second pouch. I urge customers to reorder at least one month before running out of food, but it is even better to reorder the day you open the second pouch.
3.) If you can, order four pouches at once and get a 10% discount. Keep the extra pouches in the freezer to extend the shelf life.
4.) Buy meat wholesale. You can get a variety of meats directly from meat packers or farm direct. Do some research into what is available in your area. The average cat consumes 73 pounds (33 kg) of meat per year. Buying 6 months (37 pounds) of your cat's meat in advance from a wholesale source saves money and time, and prevents stress. Package the meat as 1 pound portions and keep frozen in a chest freezer (look to your online classifieds for a used free or cheap freezer). Thaw the meat in the fridge for making cat food. Re-freeze as individual cat food portions, or cut the recipe in half, or less, and feed the cat food fresh out of the fridge over 2-3 days instead of re-freezing it (that is what I do with my 9 cats).
5.) Meat prices are going up as well, but pork appears to remain affordable. You can blend lean red meats or poultry meats with half lean pork (not sausage meat!!!). Cats love pork! Buy only commercially raised pork, because pasture-raised pork can carry Trichinella spiralis (a nematode parasite).
6.) Use fresh liver with TCfeline Original instead of the freeze-dried alternative. Fresh liver is far less expensive and a better choice nutritionally. Resort to using the freeze-dried liver alternative only if your cat will not eat the food otherwise.
7.) If your cat is an adult, you can alternate with or switch to TCfeline Special Formula. TCfeline Special Formula is not for sick cats, although it was formulated to be reduced in Phosphorus for cats with chronic kidney disease. It is a balanced diet, drawing its source for calcium from ingredients other than bone, and in many cases preferred by cats for its taste. It is, however, not suitable for kittens, adolescent cats, or pregnant or lactating cats that need a diet higher in minerals, and minerals from a food source like bone. TCfeline Special Formula costs less, because you use less, and some of the most expensive ingredients (freeze dried bone and gelatin) are not a part of it.
