Freeze Dried Purrect Poultry Absolute Chicken Recipe Cat Meal and Mixer
Verified Aug 21, 2026
This is a high-protein, freeze-dried chicken-based food designed to be fed as a complete meal or used as a topper for cats at any life stage. It features chicken meat, heart, and liver as primary ingredients, with added egg, vegetables, fruits, and a full vitamin-mineral mix to make it nutritionally complete. The freeze-dried format keeps it very energy-dense, so cats can get a lot of calories and nutrients from a relatively small portion.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a very rich, meat-heavy option for cats that prefer or do well on a high-protein, high-fat diet, and it can work as either a full meal or a flavorful topper. The use of chicken meat plus organ meats, egg, and added taurine supports good amino acid balance for obligate carnivores. Its very high calorie density means it suits active or underweight cats well, but portions need to be measured carefully for indoor or less active cats to avoid excess weight gain.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- High animal-protein content from chicken meat, heart, liver, and egg, which fits the natural needs of cats as obligate carnivores.
- Very energy-dense formula (about 4,400 kcal/kg and 220 kcal per cup) with 40% protein and 30% fat as-fed, appropriate for cats that need a calorie- and nutrient-rich diet in small volumes.
- Includes organ meats and a variety of fruits and vegetables, plus a full complement of vitamins and chelated minerals for complete and balanced nutrition when fed as directed.
- Freeze-dried format is convenient, doesn’t require refrigeration, and can be easily rehydrated to increase water intake, which is often helpful for cats.
Considerations
- Chicken and egg are common allergens for some cats, so this food would not be appropriate if your cat has known sensitivities to poultry or egg.
- The very high fat and calorie density can contribute to unwanted weight gain in less active or strictly indoor cats if portions are not carefully measured and adjusted.
- Crude fiber is relatively high for a cat diet (max 7%), which most cats tolerate well, but a few with very sensitive digestion may do better on a lower-fiber formula.
- Because it is a dry, freeze-dried product, many cats will still benefit from rehydrating it with water to help support their overall hydration.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

02
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
03
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

05
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.
