Please read. This can cause major problems for our cats so please be careful.

Wet kitten food should not be left at room temperature for more than 1 to 2 hours because moisture and nutrients create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to illness in your kitten. In warmer temperatures, this window shrinks to as little as 1 hour, so it's best to refrigerate any uneaten food promptly.

Why the Time Limit is Short
Bacterial Growth:
Wet kitten food has high moisture and protein content, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply rapidly.

Foodborne Illness:
Consuming spoiled food can cause gastrointestinal issues like vomiting and diarrhea in your kitten.

Spoilage & Attractants:
Beyond bacteria, food left out can dry out, lose its flavor and texture, attract bugs, and develop an unappetizing odor.
Safe Practices for Wet Food

Feed Small Portions:
Offer your kitten smaller meals more frequently to reduce the amount of food left out at any given time.

Refrigerate Leftovers:
As soon as your kitten has finished eating, cover and refrigerate any uneaten wet food.

Check for Spoilage:
Before serving, check for signs of spoilage, such as an off smell, discoloration, or an unusual texture, and discard if in doubt.

Consider a Feeder:
Automatic wet food feeders are designed to keep the food cold and safe between meals.

Monitor Temperature:
In very hot or humid conditions, the food can spoil even faster, so be extra vigilant with food that has been sitting out.
