Hello, I know is half a decade later! But did you find a food your Maine likes? We also had a healthy cat that moved to Cat Republic and although enjoyed eating the food, developed mysterious illnesses and lost a lost or weight. We’re now back to square one, finding a healthy, nutritious good for her to eat and get better. Thanks in advance. Chris

Oh no, that’s frustrating! I would try to reach out directly to Republic of Cats to see if they’ll cover a refund, since Yodel doesn’t seem to be doing much to help. Sorry you’re going through this!

Yikes, I’m sorry you haven’t been able to contact them so far. Hope you can get a refund.

Hi Lorraine, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble reaching Republic of Cats. I have been able to contact them via their Facebook page. Perhaps you can try that.
Hope you’re able to cancel your order soon.

Unfortunately, we don’t know where Republic of Cats food is manufactured. Purina is an investor, though, and many have noticed similarities between Republic of Cats and Purina-made Purina Gold cat food. I’ve messaged Republic of Cats to ask about their manufacturing and will make sure the article is updated if we get any more information. I suppose the only thing I can say is that one experience with Felix doesn’t necessarily represent the typical experience with Purina-made foods. I can’t say that they’re perfect, but we do know that Purina foods are among the most trusted in the business, and many have safely used and enjoyed them with their cats over the decades.

I hope Des will reply with an answer for your question. You may be able to Google the product serial number from the bottom of the tin to see what comes up. It might be similar to Purina Gold serial numbers. We honestly don’t know what arrangements Republic of Cats has with Purina. In the United States, Purina does have arrangements with some pet food brands where they buy the company but they do not manufacture the food. This has happened with some organic pet foods, for example. We just don’t know what their arrangement is with Republic of Cats. The food has received many positive reviews from people who have bought it for their cats.
