Is Pawy suitable for a senior cat?

Yes, and it matters more than ever. Here is what Pawy covers for senior cats, where meals alone fall short, and what our vets recommend to close the gap.

Yes, and it matters more than ever

Pawy is fully adapted to senior cats. The moment your cat turns 10 years old, they are automatically enrolled, free, in our Pawy Senior Cat program, built on 3 pillars:

  1. Perfectly nutritious portions. We recalculate the ration so your senior gets exactly what their slower metabolism needs to stay lean and strong — no more, no less.

  2. A recipe perfectly adapted to the senior life stage. Built on more than 10 factors (age, weight, activity, breed, sensitivities and more), with kidney health at the heart of the design: low total ash, a precise calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, and high moisture to ease the daily load on ageing kidneys.

  3. Targeted support from our vets. Our in-house Omega 3 to address the specific needs that emerge with age: joints, cognition, heart, immunity.

If your cat is already a Pawy client and crosses into senior age, we notify you in the Member Area and our team reaches out by email to confirm the new plan.

What Pawy gives your senior cat

Every Pawy bowl delivers a complete, balanced base designed for long, healthy ageing:

  • More than 90% real meat — high-quality animal protein to preserve lean muscle as your cat ages

  • Kidney-aware formulation — low total ash and a precise calcium-to-phosphorus ratio to reduce pressure on ageing kidneys

  • Over 70% moisture — the single biggest nutritional advantage you can give a senior cat's kidneys and urinary tract

  • Gently cooked, highly digestible ingredients that go easy on an older gut

  • A full vitamin and mineral profile calibrated to senior needs

For a healthy senior cat, this base alone already outperforms kibble in almost every way that matters at this age: hydration, kidney load, muscle retention, palatability, digestibility.

Where meals alone start to fall short

As cats age, the body changes in ways no single recipe can fully compensate for:

  • Joints lose cartilage and low-grade inflammation builds up

  • The brain slows down: memory, sleep, orientation all shift

  • The heart works harder

  • The immune system weakens

These needs are highly individual and no complete food on its own (not even ours) can deliver clinical doses of joint, cognitive and cardiovascular support to every senior cat at once.

What our vets recommend

One targeted supplement, developed in-house, to close the gap during the senior years.

Pawy Omega 3: the most studied nutrient in feline aging. Eases stiff joints, supports the heart, slows cognitive decline, keeps the coat healthy.

What we strongly recommend

Add Omega 3 to your senior cat's plan. Dosing is automatic in your Member Area based on weight. A few drops on the meal, serve.
