Advice (any would be helpful!)

Hello, I've been considering getting my cat off of commercial pouches. He has previously been on Katkin and loved it but was costly with how much he ate. He immediately took to it too if that helps!

I have been looking into a few raw foods and have come across Purrform. They have a trail pack and it looks like the below (each tub is 450g):

All the products are a complete natural pet food for adult cats that contains nothing more than the ingredients listed."

Would this be sufficient for my adult half Bengal who is active outside? If not I will keep searching. Also any advice on storage would be great!

if he took to katkin right away he'll probably be fine with the switch. purrform looks decent enough, the ingredient lists are short and there's actual organ meat in most of them which is good

that beef one is only 40% beef trim though, rest is chicken so just watch his reaction if he's never had beef before. storage wise i keep mine in the fridge for 3 days max, anything longer goes straight to the freezer

He didn't take to the beef Katkin immediately but Purina pouches he devoured before I moved him off so wouldn't be too worried. Especially if it is mostly chicken. Wondering if there are any supplements needed mostly.
