Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning

CatChi and Ziwi Peak offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. CatChi uses 95 percent or more named meat and organs in every recipe, gently cooked at low temperature and snap frozen rather than extruded or canned. Ziwi Peak uses recipes that routinely carry 96 percent meat, organs, bone and green-lipped mussel with zero grain, legume or potato content. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.

CatChi is made in Sydney by Cat Chi Pty Ltd from Australian-farmed meat, gently cooked then snap frozen, across four single-protein recipes. It is an independent Sydney brand founded in 2023, built around single-protein fresh meals delivered frozen by subscription.

Ziwi Peak is made at a purpose-built kitchen in Napier, New Zealand, which replaced its original Mount Maunganui operations in 2022, with all meat and seafood sourced within New Zealand.
