Mature Health Formula
As your cat matures, his body requires less calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and other nutrients. Excess amounts of these key nutrients can actually create health problems in CRD and aging felines. We've developed our Mature Health Cat Food to support your aging feline.
As your cat matures, his body requires less calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and sodium. These ingredients can actually create health problems in aging felines. We've developed our Mature Health formula to support your felines as they age.
Your cat is considered mature when she is no longer growing bone. For most cats that will be at about 2 years of age. However, for breeds like the Maine Coon, it may be as long as 5 years. Please consult your veterinarian or breeder if you are unsure if your cat has reached adulthood.

There are two ways to feed Young Again Cat Foods:
At YA, we highly recommend Free-Choice feeding. Please follow the instructions carefully. For additional feeding suggestions and assistance, please read Transitioning your cat.
If you must restrict feed your cat, please use these guidelines:
Average consumption for 24 hours:
8 lb. cat – Level ¼ cup
10 lb. cat – Rounded ¼ cup
12 lb. cat – Level 1/3 cup
15 lb. cat – Rounded 1/3 cup
20-25 lb. cat – Level ½ cup
For Maine Coons and other giant breeds add ¼ cup to each of above measures for 12 pounds and up.
PLEASE NOTE: Because Young Again is a nutrient-dense food, your cat will eat MUCH LESS than other cat foods. It does not mean your cat does not like our food.
We've been feeding our senior cat the YA Mature formula since July 2016, and she's had Stage 2 kidney disease for the last 3 years. Her kidney numbers have held dead-on steady this whole time, so her vet is happy to let her keep her current diet and free-feeding routine. When her numbers start changing, we'll move her to the LID formula. She's estimated to be around 16 years old now, and we joke that our furry little empress eats better than we do - but we wouldn't have it any other way.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUNG AGAIN CAT FOOD. MY 11 cats loved it. I have since lost 5 cats due to age mostly But the food helped them live longer, better lives. This food is the highest quality dry food I have found.
