When I ordered this dry cat food, I thought the brand name was Wild Kangaroo. So imagine my surprise when it arrived and I read the package and discovered I was mistaken and it is not the brand name, but the main ingredient. I personally don't eat meat myself, so this felt strange. Plus being American, kangaroo seems like an adorable exotic animal. I signed up to review this product, and whatever reservations I had about the it, nothing would be changed by me refusing to use it. I honestly didn't think my cats would eat it, but that was just my human bias. Almost a week ago, I filled up my cats automatic dry food feeder with this food, and both of my cats have been eating it, honestly even better than their typical food with more traditional animal proteins in it. My younger cat doesn't like to eat much canned cat food, so she overeats dry food and throws up. Despite the fact that she has been chowing down on this stuff, I haven't cleaned up any cat vomit this week. With the other brands of dry cat food, I clean up cat throw up 1 to 2 times a week. That has been the best part of trying out this unique cat food.The only negative is that this is on the more pricey side, $25.99 for a 4lb bag at the time of this review. That comes to about $6.50 a pound. This could get expensive if you have a multiple cat household. I usually get Iams or Purina One, which is considerably cheaper, but I have 2 cats. However, if you have a cat with tummy issues, this is not a bad option. That being said, if you have ever had to buy cat food that was veterinarian recommended, or prescribed you know how much they can cost. Many of the "special" cat foods cost even more this. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it is worth a try if your cat has digestive issues before getting into the even more expensive brands.

My cats love this food! I have two cats, an older (very picky) all black cat and a younger white and black cat (not picky at all). They both really love this food. I followed the directions on the package and mixed their current dry food with the new Wild Kangaroo Feast Dry Cat Food. The photo of the food in the pink bowl is a mix of both old food and new Wild Kangaroo Feast. The photo of the white measuring cup is Wild Kangaroo Feast only.Both cats came over immediately, not unusual for my black and white cat (Sadie), very unusual for my all black cat (Raven). Raven really is the test. She has a sensitive stomach and sometimes throws up after eating, so far so good with this food, no throwing up! Raven also seems to be picking out the Wild Kangaroo Feast kibble and leaving the old food for Sadie. The Wild Kangaroo Feast is more expensive than what I usually buy but worth it if Raven doesn't throw up after she eats. As far as helping with a shiny coat, it's too early to tell. The one thing I did notice about this food is that it smells 'fishy'. It's not so strong that when it is in the cat bowls on the floor you smell it but you do notice it when scooping it out of the bag. Great choice for picky eaters with a sensitive stomach.

In my foster house I frequently take in cats that arrive with patchy fur, red skin, or chronic tummy issues, usually because they’ve developed sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef. That’s where the Wild Kangaroo Feast really works for us. Since kangaroo is a "novel" protein (like advertised) it means that most cats have never been exposed to it it’s much less likely to trigger those nasty allergic flares and that's what we're seeing here at my house. Being made in New Zealand I know the ingredients are good. I love that it's a limited ingredient, grain free formula because I don't have to worry about hidden fillers making a sensitive cat's digestion even worse. The kibble is lean but nutrient-dense, and honestly, the "gamey" scent seems to pique the interest of even my most finicky fosters. Within a few weeks of switching an itchy rescue onto this, I usually see the scratching stop and their coat start to get that healthy, New Zealand-glow back. It’s more of an investment than your standard grocery brand, but for a cat that’s been suffering from undiagnosed food allergies, it’s worth every penny to see them finally comfortable.

We have a few (okay, 7) outside cats. Different ages, male and female. All of them are picky when it comes to dry food. I'm happy to report that they all enjoyed this food. It's a good size bag at 4 pounds. The food itself is small, pebble size. There are quite a few ingredients so I'm not sure why it says "limited ingredients." But again, the cats love it. And it's good for them since it's hypoallergenic and good for their systems.

I have three cats, two of which are brother and sister and refuse to eat anything but dry food. They are Cyrus and Jeff, respectively. The third cat is Pepper, and we adopted her after she started hanging out in our backyard regularly. Pepper will eat wet food and treats but doesn't get them often because Cyrus and Jeff have no interest.I gave this food to Cyrus and Jeff first, and they ate a goodly amount of it, so I have to assume they like the way it tastes. It is a bit smellier than I expected for a non-fish based food, but the odor doesn't fill up the whole house or anything, you kind of have to stick your face in it to notice, and I'm sure the cats love the stink.Pepper is less enthusiastic about it, although she ate some of it. I have personally eaten kangaroo once and I think it's one of the most delicious meats out there, so this definitely feels like a treat for the cats. I've also heard kangaroo is a good protein ingredient for animals who have allergies to more standard proteins.This seems to be a good quality food, and at $26 for four pounds, it's a pretty standard value for a premium dry cat food, although kangaroo may have benefits that other foods don't provide, depending on your cats' needs.

This dry food smells surprisingly fresh and aromatic, which immediately stood out to me. The color has a slight green tint, which was unexpected at first, but the ingredients and texture look clean and consistent. My cat is a very picky eater, so I did not expect much, but she ate it right away with no hesitation, which honestly surprised me.The kibble looks and smells similar to chicken liver, even though it is made from kangaroo meat, and it seems very appealing to cats. It feels like a thoughtfully made formula with quality ingredients. If you have a picky cat or are looking to switch to a novel protein option, this one is definitely worth trying.

I’ll start with the obvious: my cat LOVES this food. Like, feral-level excitement loves it. She’s normally pretty chill and not very vocal, but the second she sees me reach for the Addiction bag instead of her usual food bin, she absolutely loses it—meowing, pacing, and scarfing it down in record time. 😂Price-wise, $24.99 for a 4 lb bag is reasonable, though it’s definitely more expensive than the Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight chicken formula I usually buy. That said, given the novel protein and limited ingredient formula, the price feels justified—especially for cats with sensitivities.🐾 Transition & Feeding ExperienceMy cat is 2 years old, and I feed her twice a day (¼ cup per meal). There’s a clear feeding chart on the back based on weight, which I appreciate. I followed the recommended 7-day transition, and it went smoothly: Days 1–2: 25% Addiction / 75% old food. Gradually increased each day. By Day 7: full servings, no stomach upset at all. I practice food rotation (she eats something different every few days), so she’s not picky—but even so, this food instantly became a favorite.🌱 Ingredients & Nutrition ThoughtsI really like the company’s origin story and the fact that it’s made in New Zealand under strict quality standards. The ingredient list feels thoughtful and clean.Nutrition comparison (for transparency):Blue Buffalo Chicken Healthy WeightProtein: 36%Fat: 12%Fiber: 8%Omega-3: 0.5%Addiction Wild Kangaroo FeastProtein: 30%Fat: 12%Fiber: 6%While the protein is a bit lower than Blue Buffalo, it's still better than 90% of cat foods on pet store shelves, this formula really shines for cats with sensitive skin or digestion, thanks to: single novel protein (kangaroo), no fillers like grains, corn, soy, or wheat. Added prebiotics and healthy fats for digestion and coat health. Her coat looks great, her digestion has been normal, and she clearly feels good eating it.📦 Packaging & Practical StuffComes in a resealable bag (always a win). Kibble size is easy for her to eat. No weird smell or dust cloud when opening⭐ Final VerdictThis is a high-quality, thoughtfully made dry cat food that’s especially great for cats with sensitivities—or for pet parents who want to rotate proteins for better overall health. It’s a bit pricier than mainstream brands, but the ingredients and my cat’s reaction make it worth it. Even better if you can snag it on sale.

My cat loves it. She has food sensitivity and so far is doing great on this one. Only complaint is the resealable bags seal did not work when I opened it.

Both of my cats have had no issues eating this food even without doing the gradual change method for food since I never do that.Neither of my cats are super picky but there has been dry food that they refuse to eat before, so if they eat this I'd say most cats will enjoy it too. It smells fine but that is all I can tell on my own without eating it myself which I won't do

This kangaroo cat food is a huge hit with all three of my cats, even the picky one. I will say that the smell of the food is reminiscent of roadkill, but nothing too crazy and it doesn’t travel too far from the cat bowls.The only regret I have is that I wish it would have been a bigger bag and that I might have to start buying this food now! Many people probably think that the price isn’t too bad, but I am not one of them. My cats normally eat cat food that cost a little bit less than this for a 22 pound bag, so for me the sticker shock is quite real. Ha ha.I will say that the ingredients are great quality and very few, but I would go broke if I had to buy this for my three cats, so that is why I probably will not buy this, but if I had the means then you bet you’re sweet paycheck I definitely would.The protein, which I’m guessing costs more because of shipping from New Zealand, would absolutely be great for cats with chicken allergies. This might seem like a weird allergy for a cat, but it is much more common than most people think. In fact, it is very likely that your cat, or at least one of your cats, has this allergy without you even knowing it.All I can really say is if you have the means, then try it out. Chances are your cat or cats will love it.

To my surprise, all 6 of my cats love this Wild Kangaroo Feast dry food. That rarely ever happens. It has a very high quality, limited ingredient list. It's made in New Zealand and I appreciate the strict standards they adhere to.The food is small, like little pebbles, and easy for them to eat. It has a rather strong odor, which i wasn't expecting, but the cats must find it appealing. No digestive issues and no throwing up, which is awesome! They all seem to really enjoy the taste and.come running when they hear me grab the bag to fill their bowls. I think it's a good value and the price is in line with most other premium foods.

This food has been a good option for my cats, especially ones with sensitive stomachs. I like that it’s limited ingredient, chicken free, and grain free, and the novel kangaroo protein is a nice alternative when other foods haven’t worked well. My cats took to it pretty easily and I’ve noticed less digestive upset overall. The kibble size is reasonable and doesn’t seem too hard for them to eat. The only downside for me is the price, which is a bit higher than some other options, but the quality makes it feel worth trying. Overall, a solid food for cats with sensitivities.

I'm assuming I'm not alone in having never heard of kangaroo cat food before, but the fact that it's a novel protein food with limited ingredients piqued my interest enough to order it. We have four cats, and they are notoriously picky little overlords. I mainly give them wet food, but I also like to leave a dry food available at all times for grazing.When I opened the bag (which is resealable - LOVE that), I noticed that the food had a very strong smell. The pieces of kibble themselves are small discs. I followed the directions for introduction and began by only putting a small amount mixed with their usual dry food, and I put it in a separate bowl. I noticed right away that the cats were choosing to eat from the bowl with this food mixed in rather than the bowl with just the food they're accustomed to. I've little by little been increasing the ratios in favor of this new food, and they continue to prefer it. I haven't reached the point of giving this by itself, but the writing is on the wall as to how much they love it so I have gone ahead and added it to my autoship already.For three out of four cats to take to this food so quickly (and not turn their noses up at it shortly after, as so often happens after they fake me out enough to stock up on something) speaks very positively to the tastiness of it. It's a bit soon to notice all the potential health benefits, but I can say that one of my cats who usually has dandruff seems to be improving, and my elderly cat with health issues (hyperthyroid and kidney disease) who usually has small, hard bowel movements is having larger, softer ones, so this food is helping in obvious ways already. Sure, it's a bit on the pricey side, but not prohibitively so, especially considering the quality. I'm so happy that I was given the opportunity to try out this food, and it will now be a keeper in this cat household!

This smells quite fishy, but it must not *taste* fishy, because my Bess doesn’t like fish. She doesn’t like people food, she doesn’t like wet food, and she was diagnosed with IBD a few years ago when she was a very, very sick kitty and had to have emergency surgery. She pulled through and is now happy and healthy, but she does tend to puke more than our others. We’ve tried what I thought was every “novel protein” on the market, which was super expensive and a big waste because she refused absolutely everything. This is years later and she’s doing fine on prescription cat food, but we may switch over to this. While this seems expensive compared to generic-ish dry cat foods on the market, it’s less expensive than her expensive special order stuff. And she likes it. So I’m calling this an excellent value for the money. Bessie and I are both pleased.

I confess I had no idea this was actual kangaroo meet when I first clicked on it. I bet your cats (and dogs) have never had anything like this before!Well designed resealable bag with an easy pull tab to open that we wish US companies would emulate.There's a mild smell, a tiny bit fishy but not overpowering. The cats come running when they hear the bag open so that's a heck of a positive review. Our dogs will do tricks for little nibbles of it too. Popular with everyone in the family, even if we may never see it for sale again after this week.

I think it's fitting that I write a review based around my little kitty when she's the the thing that got me into the vine program in the first place.to set the stage, I have a 15-year-old cat who has been through the ringer with medical problem after medical problem. she has had everything from The Big c to an autoimmune disorder that affects her ability to eat certain proteins. she's very allergic to chicken to the point where she will itch herself bloody if she eats it.so when I saw this I knew I had to try it. I've used other novel proteins for her before and they work very well but she's a very picky cat. I got her off of Craigslist and she has expensive taste.when I say that she loves this stuff, I mean that she loves the stuff. she has teeth issues that we can't get taken care of because of her kidneys. so the size of food is very important and this food shape is flat which means that she can get it in her mouth and eat it. she seems to like the smell because she comes running when I open it. she's very picky with her dry food which she only gets supplemental because she gets wet food as her main course, but she absolutely loves the stuff. and it hasn't set off her skin issues so fingers crossed.it will update this though, if her skin issues flare up in the future from this food. I'm very excited to buy more of this though if it works. it's a pretty good price for kangaroo because usually novel proteins are pretty expensive.

My cat used to eat anything and everything as a kitten, but as she matured, she became pickier with her food. She used to eat any soft food, tuna, meats, sardines, you name it, but eventually she started gravitating toward a specific brand of kibble I found. The problem is, it is not always in stock.So when I got this Kangaroo kibble, I wasn’t sure she would like it. I put some down, and she instantly went for it. It was gone in two minutes. Even my dog loves it.I wasn’t sure what to expect from a kangaroo-based kibble. The packaging says the number one ingredient is kangaroo meat, which I haven’t seen in other brands, but the number two ingredient is fish meal, and let me tell you, there is definitely a lot of fish smell here. You can smell it as soon as you open the bag. The kibble itself isn't overly hard or crumbling soft either, it's in the middle, easily chewable for most medium aged cats I'd say. Most cats will surely love it.
