Hey Lemmy! Pick your brains?

Have got three cats that need feeding - from LR, Madeline, Stephanie and Tuxie. I've always tried to buy cat food which isn't owned by companies who are complete bastards, which is tricky since Nestle own so many of them. They've been on the Royal Canin for many years, but I see that's owned by Mars and I'm trying to cut back on "buying American" at the moment. Was wondering if any of you have reasonable suggestions for alternatives?

  • available in the UK

  • not manufactured in companies descending into fascism

  • certainly not manufactured by bloody Nestle, cut all of their shit out of my life a long time ago

  • ideally, low carbon and ethically made? I realise that's a really tough ask for cat food.

They're adult cats with no special needs, and also extremely unfussy eaters.

I see there's a zooplus.co.uk, and they sell Wild Freedom which I buy regularly. I believe that food is from Germany. It's got a high meat content and no grains which is ideal for cats. I believe Animonda Carny and Feringa are also good ones, all German. There are some nice deals at times, and if you buy the biggest cans they're just as cheap as those Whiskas sachets that everybody around me seem to buy out of convenience. Just healthier.

Cat owner in the UK here, I can confirm that Zooplus is how I keep my resident shoelace murderer fed

+1 on Animonda Carny. Kept both of my cats fed for years until they decided they don't like it anymore one day. Grain-free and no sugar.
