Most cat owners do not shop for a brand first. They shop for a problem: a cat that coughs up hairballs, a flat-dweller that is putting on weight, a kitten that needs the right start, or a stomach that never settles. Josera, a German pet food maker, organizes its dry cat food around exactly these situations, so it is easy to work backwards from the need.
This guide matches seven Josera recipes to seven common needs. Everything comes from the product pages on the German Josera shop as we read them on 28 October 2026. Feature claims belong to the brand, prices are in EUR including VAT and excluding delivery, and they may change. You can see every recipe in the Josera cat food range.

Across the cat pages, Josera says its foods are developed and produced to German quality standards, use ingredients without genetic engineering, and contain no added artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and no added wheat, soy, sugar or dairy. Most recipes also state that they support a urine pH of 6.0-6.5, which the brand says can help counter urinary stone formation. Every recipe shown below is rated 4.9 stars on the shop, although the number of reviews varies a lot.
Need 1: A Growing Kitten – Josera Kitten
Kitten is made for cats up to their first birthday and for pregnant or nursing cats. The brand describes it as high in energy and protein, with salmon oil, easy to digest, and with dietary fibers that can work against hairball formation. The shop showed a 4.9-star score from 320 reviews. Prices were EUR 5.19 for 400 g, EUR 18.49 for 2 kg and EUR 59.99 for 10 kg.
Need 2: An Indoor or Neutered Cat – Josera Indoor
Indoor is a grain-free food for indoor and neutered cats from the first year of life. Josera says special fibers promote a feeling of fullness and that its moderate energy content helps maintain a healthy weight. The recipe is built on sea fish with omega-3 fatty acids and has an anti-hairball effect. It had only 13 reviews on the shop so far. A 2 kg bag was EUR 19.49 and a 10 kg bag EUR 64.99.
Need 3: A Sensitive Stomach – Josera SensiCat
SensiCat is described as a menu for adult cats with a sensitive digestive system. The brand says it contains only selected, easily digestible ingredients, and it also includes dietary fibers that can reduce hairball formation. The shop showed 596 reviews. Prices were EUR 5.19 for 400 g, EUR 17.49 for 2 kg and EUR 49.29 for 10 kg, which ties it with Culinesse as the lowest-priced of the seven on the 2 kg and 10 kg bags.
Need 4: Hairballs and a Long Coat – Josera Catelux
Catelux is the long-haired cat’s recipe: duck and potato, with extra dietary fibers that help carry swallowed hair through the digestive tract. Josera also calls it extra tasty for demanding cats and mentions fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat. The shop listed 692 reviews, with 2 kg at EUR 18.49, 4.25 kg at EUR 25.19 and 10 kg at EUR 50.99.
Need 5: Energy Without Grain – NatureCat and DailyCat
Two grain-free recipes cover cats with a lot of energy or a preference for poultry. NatureCat contains 34 percent dried poultry protein and 4 percent dried salmon protein, with herbs and fruit. The brand pitches it at adventurous cats, and it had 794 reviews on the shop. Prices were EUR 19.49 for 2 kg and EUR 55.24 for 10 kg.
DailyCat is aimed at indoor and outdoor cats that are sensitive to grain and love poultry. Josera says each 100 g of dry food corresponds to about 130 g of fresh meat. It had 441 reviews, and a 2 kg bag was EUR 17.99 against EUR 50.14 for 10 kg.
Need 6: A Fussy Gourmet – Josera Culinesse
Culinesse combines salmon and poultry protein with a moderate fat level, and the brand recommends it for adult cats, both indoor and outdoor. It has the most reviews of the seven, 941 on the day we looked, and is priced at EUR 17.49 for 2 kg, EUR 24.74 for 4.25 kg and EUR 49.29 for 10 kg. If you have no particular problem to solve and simply want a well-reviewed everyday recipe, Josera Culinesse is a sensible place to start.

How to Switch Without Upsetting Your Cat
- Start small. A 400 g bag is available for every recipe, so test the taste before you buy 10 kg.
- Transition slowly. Mix the new food into the old over about a week, increasing the share each day.
- Watch the result. Look at appetite, stool and coat over a few weeks before deciding.
- Keep water available. Dry food works best when your cat drinks regularly.
- Ask your vet for medical issues. Cats with kidney, urinary or weight problems may need a veterinary diet, not an everyday food.
Once you know your cat’s main need, the shop makes the final step simple: open the Josera online shop, choose the matching recipe and size, and compare prices before you check out.
