Healthy cat food & supplies

whole prey raw diet meal prep for cats jess caticles

Whole prey – Cold Blooded Cafe. Jericho has had many of their products. Rats, mice, African soft-furred rats, day-old chicks, and extra-small quail. Day-old chicks and quail are his favorite.

Whole prey & DIY raw ingredients – Hare Today. I love Hare Today because they have tons of protein variety. You can get ground or whole chunks of meat, bones, and organs. Jericho has had chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit, beef, quail, mice, cavies, lamb, and salmon from Hare Today. Create an account and earn discount points!

Raw Feeding Blueprint – my wonderful all-in-one raw feeding resource for cats! Get my switch to raw plan, 50+ balanced raw recipes, meal prep video, printables, and so much more.

My Etsy shop – if you prefer to buy recipes and printables individually.

Paws of Prey cat meal formulator to create your own balanced recipes. Her formulator is beginner-friendly and includes whole prey!

Complete premade raw & freeze-dried raw – Quest Cat Food. I buy this at a local pet food store. Jericho loves their pork, and that’s what he eats currently. Check their store locator or you can buy it online and get 25% off with my code JESSCATICLES.

Freeze-dried treats – SmallBatch. You may find this locally. You can also buy the treats on Chewy or Amazon. Jericho loves their pork liver and blue mussels treats.

Food mat – Chewy. This large mat is food-grade silicone. I use this to feed Jericho and to meal prep his food every week. It makes cleanup super easy.

I buy a lot of food supplies from iHerb as well. I get my sardines, oysters, kelp, and sea salt all from iHerb. I use this salt for myself, and it’s delicious. If you have my recipes, you can use this salt for your cat too.

Food, treats, meal prep supplies, supplements, and more – Amazon US, CA, UK.

Enrichment & furniture

ergo purrch best cat perch for apartment jess caticles

Desk-mounted perch – Ergo Purrch. Jericho pops up on this purrch in the morning after he eats. He loves to groom, nap, and gaze out the window. Get 6% off with my code JESSCATICLES (more than what their spinwheel offers).

Climbing, perching, resting condo – The Cat Ladder on Etsy. We’ve had the Cat Ladder for years, and Jericho spends time on it daily. He loves to run up and down the ladder, stare out the window, and play on there.

Window perch – this is Petco’s brand, but I bought ours on Amazon. Jericho loves catching a breeze on his window perch. I put it right next to his condo so he can run up and down and then plop on the perch. You can get a similar one on Chewy too.

Cat condo – this one isn’t the prettiest, but it works. Jericho loves hunting for treats on the condo and also perches up on the top to look out the window. You can buy it on Amazon and Chewy.

Scratching post – Purrfect Post. Purrfect Post is really cool because it’s made by a vet. She wants to help prevent declawing cats so she made these very sturdy scratching posts. We’ve had it for 3 years before I needed to replace the base. I love that you can buy replacement parts instead of needing a whole new scratcher.

Clicker training kit – Cat School. My great friend and accountabilibuddy Julie and her cat Jones are the best cat training teachers! Jericho is food-motivated so clicker training him is easy. He knows how to sit, stay, jump up on things, circle his scratching post, jump over an obstacle, and fist bump because of her clicker training kit.

Cat toys

Activity mat – Ripple Rug. We’ve had the Ripple Rug for almost as long as we’ve had Jericho. I did end up getting rid of the base because I washed it too many times and it started to shed some of the rubber backing. But I kept the top, and Jericho plays on it every day.

Natural toys on Etsy – rabbit fur toys, wool rat toy, kitty whip wand, cotton chase balls, catnip & silvervine. Jericho loves to chase these toys around. I slide them and toss them around on the bed, and he goes crazy for it. I like these natural materials better because I don’t have to worry about Jericho biting on them.

Litter box supplies

litter box hacks jess caticles

I worked as a sitter for 3 years before starting this business and have come up with the purrfect litter box setup.

Stainless steel litter box – Amazon and Chewy. Plastic traps bacteria even with regular washing. But a stainless steel litter box is much easier to clean and keep clean. Nothing gets caked onto the box. It takes me like 10 minutes a week to clean it.

Stainless steel litter scoop – Amazon and Chewy.

Naturally clumping, scent-free litter – Naturally Fresh on Amazon and Chewy. Now I will say that this litter isn’t 100% perfect. But I think it’s the best option that’s currently available. Read my full litter review: is clumping litter bad for cats. I’ve tested nearly every type of cat litter, and walnut is what I still use.

Hook & Loom cotton rug as a litter mat. I also use their rug as Jericho’s Ripple Rug base for his play area.

Health & wellness

tap score water test kit

Mail-in urine & feces kits – Affordable Pet Labs. I love doing this instead of bringing Jericho to the vet. It’s much less stressful to do this at home. They send you everything you need, and you mail the sample straight to their in-house lab. Get 10% off with my code JESSCATICLES.

Water test kits – Tap Score. Get $10 off with this link. I used these kits to test my tap water and reverse osmosis water. My tap water scored a 79/100 and was full of disinfection byproducts which are bad for our health and also for our cat’s health. Read my full tap score review.

Reverse osmosis countertop carafe – AquaTru on Water and Wellness. My brother works in water sanitation and installs RO for residential and commercial so I used his help on this and the water test kits. This carafe works for me because I live in an apartment building and can’t make structural changes. Get $100+ off and a 1-year free replacement filter pack with this link. Read my full AquaTru review.

Red light therapy – Novaa Lab. I use this for myself and for Jericho. I had a bad burn on my arm and red light therapy (plus castor oil and tea tree oil) every day for 2 weeks healed it. No bubbling or scar. I use it on Jericho’s chin acne as well (he gets that from his food allergies). Get 10% off with my code JESSCATICLES. Read red light therapy for cats.
