Best Overall: Cat Person

Cat Person tops the list because of its variety: wet food, dry food, treats, and personalized monthly meal plans. The company's low-carb recipes contain a good deal of animal protein, which can help with digestion. All of Cat Person's products are grain-free, and the quality is consistent across its shreds in broth, pâté, kibble, and customizable options.

The pâtés and shreds are priced at $9.50 for packs of five 2.75-ounce cups, while the service's dry food is $14.50 for a 2-pound bag. Meal plan costs vary based on the recipes you receive, though you'll save 10 percent on all recurring orders. The starter box, which should help you determine the type of food your cat will enjoy most, ships free and costs $25 for the wet and dry combo and $28 for the wet food-only pack. Cat Person's ingredients are listed in large font on each piece of packaging so that you know exactly what you're feeding your feline.

Best for Fresh Food: Smalls

Smalls' fresh food meals are available in four proteins (fish, chicken, beef, and turkey) and multiple textures, such as pâté and shredded, to appeal to many different palates. The recipes contain no fillers and your cat gets a chance to sample each one when you receive the starter box, which is always the first delivery for new subscribers.

Prices vary depending on your plan details, but the two-week sampler costs around $32. The plan we ended up with after the starter box came out to about $3.86 per day, or approximately $27 per week. Orders can be delivered every two to eight weeks, and customers are allowed to change up the shipping cadence and flavors in their box at any time. In addition to fresh meals, Smalls offers freeze-dried and raw food made with chicken, turkey, and duck.

Best Wet Food: Tuft + Paw Really Great Cat Food

Tuft + Paw, the brand behind one of our favorite cat litters, Really Great Cat Litter, offers nutritious wet cat food made with chicken and rabbit. Really Great Cat Food was developed by feline nutritionists and veterinarians, and the wet food recipe, Chicken and Rabbit Stew, is high in protein and low in carbohydrates. The cat food pairs chicken, chicken broth, and rabbit meat along with flaxseed, carrots, and pumpkin. It's also high in moisture and contains healthy fat from salmon oil.

Unlike most wet cat foods which come in cans, this one is packaged in easy-to-store 5.5-ounce cardboard boxes with perforated edges so you can simply pour the stew out into your cat's bowl. Just fold down the carton's lip and refrigerate the leftovers.

Because there is only one flavor and texture, this might not appeal to finicky eaters, especially if they are used to a variety of tastes. This cat food is on the pricier end of the spectrum at over $4 per box, which is enough for two meals. However, if your cat loves the recipe, you can save some money by ordering a larger pack size. There is a $20 shipping fee for orders under $195.

Best for Cats on Special Diets: Chewy

Chewy is a marketplace for all sorts of pet supplies, and its autoship service will send your cat's food directly to you at a frequency of your choosing. What makes the company ideal for felines with dietary restrictions is its variety—there are 140 products in the veterinary diet section alone, and more than 3,400 cat food items in general, ranging from wet and raw food to dry and dehydrated food. But before you order one of these products, make sure your veterinarian is on board with switching your cat over to the brand in question.

Most autoship subscriptions come with a discount of 5 percent per order, and delivery is free over $49. First-time orders usually arrive in one to three business days, so you'll be able to get your cat started on their new food sooner rather than later. Prices in the special diets section start around $5 for recurring deliveries and go up to $250.

Best for Kibble: Open Farm

Open Farm’s dry food collection is rich in protein and doesn't include fillers like corn, wheat, and soy. The meat used is certified humane, meaning the farms must adhere to a strict set of ethical practices. Customers save 5 percent on each order when they sign up for autoshipping, with delivery options ranging from weekly to every eight weeks (the most popular is once per month).

Dry food flavors include salmon, whitefish, lamb, and a turkey/chicken blend, each of which can be purchased in a 4- or 8-pound bag. "Superfoods" like garbanzo beans, red lentils, and non-GMO cranberries are also incorporated into every recipe. Open Farm not only lists all of the ingredients on its product pages, but the company also notes where the items are sourced from and explains why they're being used in the kibble formula. Autoship prices start around $26 per dry food bag and go up to $43.

Best Customizable Subscription: Raised Right

Raised Right is a customizable cat food delivery service that features fresh ingredients. To sign up for a personalized meal plan, you'll be asked to enter in your feline's weight and details about their activity level. Each shipment comes with 16 1-pound bags of food, and customers can mix and match the four available recipes (original turkey, original chicken, turkey & pumpkin paté, and chicken and pumpkin paté).

Delivery frequencies range from weekly to every 28 weeks. The cadence you choose will depend on how much of the Raised Right formula you're feeding your cat on a daily basis. To determine the correct amount, the company provides an online cat food calculator that makes portion recommendations based on your pet's current size and your vet's weight goals for them (lose, maintain, or gain). Each bag costs $9.99, so you'll be paying close to $160 per shipment.

Best for Raw Food: Savage Cat Food

The majority of Savage Cat Food's products are raw, so it's a great option for pet owners looking to transition their feline to a primarily raw diet (always consult your veterinarian before changing up your pet's food). While many other cat food delivery services offer just one or two raw varieties, Savage's meals include chicken, rabbit and lamb, duck, and quail. The company also sells unique treats, such as raw quail eggs and raw duck feet.

Subscriptions start at $75 for a box of raw chicken or duck packets (28 in each shipment) and run as high as $177 for 12 small tubs of raw rabbit and lamb. You can get the food delivered as frequently as every two weeks, opt for an eight-week cadence, or settle for something in between.
