Gather Cat Food: A Gathering of Wholesome Ingredients?

I’m not going to lie to you: I really don’t know much about Gather cat food. It is one of those brands that is rare to see, both online and offline. However, when I began to look into certain brands that contained pumpkin, this is one that made the list initially. Because of that, I decided to look into this brand more thoroughly to see if it was as healthy as the brand claims it to be.

In this thorough Gather cat food review, I will be looking closely at the ingredients of this food as well as looking into what other cat owners have been saying about this food.

For this review, I will be focusing on the Organic Free-Run Chicken Recipe for Adult Cats.

Gather Cat Food Review by Cat Owners

Since you can’t really find many reviews of this cat food online, what you can find are on the official website. These reviews are mostly on the positive side. Let’s take a closer look at what these cat owners have been saying about this brand.

“My new favorite kind of feline food. I have been giving this formula to my senior cat for years. She is absolutely obsessed with it. She will continue to sniff the bag until I open it and even then I have to wrestle her away from it.” -Virginia Rego, November 15th

“This is a step above the rest. This is my choice of cat food when it comes to feeding my finicky senior cat. My cat loves it and I am happy knowing he is eating a quality brand.” -Dan S. Bilancio, August 3rd

 

Gather Cat Food: The Bottomline

At the end of the day, Gather cat food is a quality brand of cat food, if not one of the top brands on the market. It is made with a bunch of wholesome and healthy ingredients and it is very affordable for most cat owners. However, the major downside to this brand is that it does not sell this particular line with many online retailers, making it difficult for cat owners to purchase especially if they are strictly online buyers. Aside from that, this is a brand your cat can certainly benefit from.
