At Felix Cat Food, we believe cats deserve the very best. That’s why for over 80 years, we’ve been dedicated to crafting irresistibly tasty cat food that provides complete and balanced nutrition for your feline’s needs.
Our Story

It all started in 1936, when we launched the first ever commercially available cat food, Felix. This groundbreaking recipe provided cats with a meaty, delicious alternative to table scraps and milk. Ever since then, Felix has become a household name, synonymous with quality cat food.
In the beginning, Felix was only available in the UK, where our founder, Robert Gower, lived. But it didn’t take long for word to spread about this revolutionary cat food. By the 1950s, Felix had gone international, launching in markets across the world.
Today, Felix continues to be a beloved cat food brand worldwide, providing nutrition and enrichment to millions of curious, clever cats and their loving pet parents. While so much has changed over the decades, our commitment to cats has stayed the same.
