Ingredients For kitty gelee

  • 1 Tbsp
    plain animal derived gelatin
  • 1 c
    cold water
  • 1 c
    50% reduced animal derived broth (with no additives or seasoning)
  • 2 oz
    optional add ins; meat shreds, chopped offal, diced pumpkin, etc.

How To Make kitty gelee

  • 1
    Bloom gelatin by sprinkling thin layers over cold water, letting each layer sink before sprinkling more. Once all gelatin has sunk, give it a light stir and wait five to ten minutes.
  • 2
    Heat broth with optional mix-ins to a low simmer (just under a boil).
  • 3
    Whisk half of the simmering broth (liquid only) into bloomed gelatin.
  • 4
    Whisk gelatin broth mixture into the simmering broth and optional add-ins (see note).
  • 5
    Simmer about 5 minutes, whisking continuously until gelatin mixture is completely incorporated.
  • 6
    Pour into molds or ice cube tray.
  • 7
    Refrigerate overnight.
  • 8
    Note: Cooking meat depletes taurine, an essential nutrient for obligate carnivores therefore this recipe should only be given as a snack. *add any raw food add ins after the gelee has cooled but before it has set.
