"I’ve been looking for something all five of my cats like and is a healthy and grain free option. I’ve been trying different brands for weeks until I landed the honest kitchen pate."

— Heather

"I bought this from another vendor. At first, I only bought 2-3, and my picky old man seemed to really like it, so I bought a 12-pack case. Of course, upon me doing so, he quickly tired of it. I only got about 2-3 boxes into the case before he decided not to touch it at all, even with flavor enhancer..."
