Notice regarding TCfeline products in the United States
TCfeline was developed by Natascha Wille - founder of Feline Future Cat Food Company - as part of ongoing research into nutritionally balanced raw diets for cats since 1995. For more than three decades this work has included research, extensive long-term feeding trials, and formula development. In 2013 the rights to manufacture and distribute TCfeline products in the United States, with the exception of TCfeline Special Formula, were transferred to a separate company. While these products continue to use the [...]
New Feeding Trial: Phase One Completed
From 2000 to 2025, the feeding and observation group at Feline Future Cat Food Company was composed primarily of cats in need of homes. In light of the broader animal welfare situation — and the reality of too many cats and too few homes — we adopted adult cats from branches of the BC SPCA and other rescues, fostered kittens, brought two rescued cats from Indonesia to Canada, and occasionally scooped up a feral kitten from the side of a [...]
Special Formula with L-Carnitine
TCfeline Special Formula can help take care of your most special long-time feline friend--now more than ever. L-Carnitine is a new addition to the synergetic list of ingredients of this special premix. It is a vitamin-like amino acid compound that the body typically synthesises from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. This synthesis primarily takes place in the liver and kidneys. Once produced, L-carnitine is transported to tissues that rely heavily on fat for energy—particularly the heart and skeletal [...]
MCHA Calcium Is Back in TCfeline
Since 2010, the primary source of calcium phosphate in TCfeline Original has been MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) calcium from New Zealand bovine bone. However, in August 2024, tighter import regulations from Health Canada made it so difficult to bring this ingredient into the country that I replace it—temporarily—with a pharmaceutical-grade dicalcium phosphate from Germany. This carefully chosen substitute is widely used in both human and animal food formulas and supplements and represents the primary calcium phosphate source in dietary formulations intended [...]
Sustainable Krill
A change for the better – now using RIMFROST™ Antarctic Krill In April 2025, I made the switch to Norwegian-sourced RIMFROST™ krill to further improve the quality and sustainability of the TCfeline premix. Until that time, the krill was supplied by a Canadian company that, after being the source of freeze-dried krill in TCfeline for 15 years, decided to restructure their business and suspended their krill fishery. Why RIMFROST? Sustainably harvested in the Southern Ocean, with full 100% traceability Closely [...]
Proud to be a Canadian Company
Feline Future Cat Food Company is, and always has been, a Canadian company and is 100% Canadian owned. TCfeline cat food premixes are Made in Canada. The raw cat food premix, also knows as "completer", is a proud Canadian invention developed between 1995-1998 by Feline Future Cat Food Company in Vancouver, BC Canada. All other premixes or completers are copies of or inspired by the original raw cat food premix developed and made by Feline Future. Feline Future Cat Food [...]
Avian Influenza H5N1 and recently reported deaths in cats eating raw food:
First off, TCfeline premix, Original and Special Formula, do not contain ingredients of poultry origin. None of the ingredients in TCfeline premix are made in British Columbia. All of the ingredients, except for dried krill, are intended for human consumption and are highly regulated. Dried krill does not pose a risk of being infected with Avian Influenza Virus, because it originates in the Antarctic. British Columbia is one of the regions in Canada reporting outbreaks of Avian Flu spread by [...]
Tips and Advice
TCfeline Cat Food Premix – A Labour of Love for Cats It all began with the Feline Future Foundation back in 1995. While I now operate as Feline Future Cat Food Company, I’ve returned to my roots as a not-for-profit business—partly in response to today’s tough economic times. I run the entire operation solo, with no staff, so while I do my best to keep things running smoothly, there are natural limits to what I can do. I kindly ask [...]
