Haverhill, Suffolk, United Kingdom KatKin Full time £14,600 - £25,000 per year


What we do at KatKin

Did you know that some cat food contains as little as 4% meat? Considering cats need meat to thrive, that's a problem. Cats have been neglected by the pet food industry for too long, being offered variations of dog food, rather than food designed specifically for their enjoyment and health. KatKin gives cats what they really need and crave - 100% Fresh premium meat. Pure and simple.

 Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot with many cat owners reporting transformative benefits, we're the highest rated cat food brand in the UK. Join our fast-paced, innovative team and help more cat people discover the best food for their cat's health 



Why You'll Love Working With Us

If you want to join and grow an ambitious, mission-driven, high-growth startup that's making a genuine difference to cat's (and their people's) lives, you'll love working at KatKin.
