This food is not like ordinary pet food, so it's important to
take your time whenintroducing your cat to Sojourner Farms. To ensure a smooth gentle transition, we suggest
gradually switching -- a little bit at a time -- over a period of at least 3 weeks. For finicky or sick
animals, you may have to take longer to switch.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS FOR CATS
For normal cats, use a 1:1 ratio. Mix Sojourner Farms with water
andmeat and let sit for at least 10 minutes. For best results, soak overnight in thefridge and add meat. Use
the following charts to determine the amount of Sojourner Farms(dry
weight), water, and meat to feed per day. The amount of water
you feedcan vary if youwould like to make a thicker mixture. We
recommend once-a-day feeding for adult cats. If you plan to feed
twice per day, simply divide these amounts by two.

HELPFUL TIPS
• We also encourage adding feeding raw or steamed vegetables.
Start by adding 1/4 cups of chopped veggies in addition to the
regular feeding amounts. Try potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli,
carrots, apples, and bananas. Avoid tomatoes, oranges, lemons,
onion, and other highly acidic fruits and vegetables.
• The longer you soak Sojourner Farms -- the more digestible it
becomes. A few minutes is sufficient for most cats, but some will
require a longer soaking time. For best results, soak overnight.
For skinny cats, adding avocados helps to put on pounds, and we've
also had excellent results when people mix in a little bit of
alfalfa (which can be found at most health food stores).
• For finicky, ill, or older cats, convert slower, starting with
just a small dollop of fresh food on top of the old food, and
a gradual increase over 5-6 weeks. Soup stock or tuna juice for
cats can also be used instead of water. Don't feed tuna meat though.
• To save time, combine up to 5 days of Sojourner Farms mix with
meat and water, cover, and refrigerate. Or you can freeze the
mixture for a more extended period in portion-sized baggies.
