Carnivore Cravings Purrfect Pate Chicken & Chicken Liver Recipe Wet Cat Food

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high‑moisture canned pate for adult cats, featuring chicken and chicken liver as the main animal protein sources. It’s a relatively low‑carbohydrate formula with added taurine and balanced vitamins and minerals. The smooth texture and broth-style moisture can be helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.

9.2 out of 10

Top Pick

This wet food offers a meat-focused, high-moisture option for adult cats who enjoy a smooth pate texture. Chicken and chicken liver supply animal-based protein and essential nutrients, while added taurine supports cats’ unique heart and eye needs. It can work well as a main meal or as a way to boost moisture alongside a dry diet, assuming it meets AAFCO standards on the label.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and chicken liver provide species-appropriate animal protein and important vitamins and minerals.
  • High moisture content can help support hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Relatively low in carbohydrates, which aligns well with the needs of many adult cats.
  • Added taurine and a full vitamin-mineral mix help support overall nutritional balance for adult cats.

Considerations

  • Chicken, chicken liver, and egg are common triggers for food allergies, so this won’t suit cats sensitive to poultry or eggs.
  • Sunflower oil is the main added fat, so omega-3 levels from marine sources are likely modest compared with some fish-based diets.
  • The formula is grain- and legume-free, so if your cat does well on grains, this is more of a preference than a specific advantage.

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.
View ingredient
02
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
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
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
