Cat Christmas Advent Calendar: 24 Days of Single-Ingredient Meat Treats for Cats
Count down to Christmas with something your cat will actually come running for. Our Cat Christmas Advent Calendar holds 24 days of surprises, with a real, single-ingredient meat treat behind every door. Freeze-dried rabbit tenderloin, plus dehydrated rabbit, elk, venison, and bison, in a mix of textures to keep even the fussiest cat curious.
Every calendar is made by hand at our facility on Alderville First Nation using federally inspected meat. No fillers, no artificial preservatives, nothing you can't pronounce. Just a little holiday fun your cat can enjoy and you can feel good about.
Sound Familiar?
- "My cat is too picky for store-bought treats." Cats are carnivores, and these are pure meat. The freeze-dried rabbit is a favourite with even the fussiest cats.
- "My cat has a sensitive stomach, so I can't give them just anything." Every treat is one protein with nothing added. No chicken, no fish, no grain, no fillers.
- "Cat advent calendars are hard to find, and most are full of junk." This one is made for cats, with four proteins and nothing else.
- "I want to include the cat in Christmas too." Now the cat gets a countdown, not just the dog and the kids.

Feeding Instructions
Open one door each day from December 1 to December 24 and give your cat the treats inside. Larger pieces can be broken into smaller bites or crumbled over food. As with any new treat, introduce slowly, supervise your cat, and make sure fresh water is available. Wash your hands after handling the freeze-dried rabbit, since it's a raw treat.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The treats are shelf-stable. Keep the calendar somewhere your cat can't reach. Our customers tell us cats will open drawers to get to it.
Guaranteed Analysis
Guaranteed analysis varies by treat. See our cat treats for full details on each protein.
Cat Christmas Advent Calendar FAQ
Q: What's the deal with these cat advent calendars?
A: A cat advent calendar has 24 little doors, one for each day from December 1 to Christmas Eve, with a treat behind each one. It's a fun way to include your cat in the holiday countdown. Ours is filled by hand with single-ingredient meat treats, so your cat gets real meat every day and nothing else.
Q: Where can I get a cat advent calendar?
A: You can order ours right here. Each Cat Christmas Advent Calendar is made by hand at our facility on Alderville First Nation and ships between November 15 and 30, so it arrives fresh for December 1. Quantities are limited, so order early.
Q: What is the best advent calendar for dogs?
A: Look for one with real, simple ingredients and no artificial colours, fillers, or mystery treats. Our Dog Christmas Advent Calendar is made by hand at our facility with the same care as this cat calendar, so every pet in the house gets a countdown.
Q: Are dog advent calendars safe?
A: Most are, but check the ingredients. Some calendars are filled with treats that have long ingredient lists, artificial colours, or added sugar. Choose a calendar with a short, clear ingredient list, and as with any new treat, introduce them slowly and supervise your pet.
Q: Is there a cat advent calendar without fillers, fish, or chicken?
A: Yes, this one. Every treat inside is a single protein (rabbit, elk, venison, or bison) with nothing added. No fillers, no fish, no chicken, no grain, and no artificial preservatives.
Q: What's inside the Cat Christmas Advent Calendar?
A: 24 days of single-ingredient meat treats, with one to four treats behind each door. The calendar includes freeze-dried rabbit tenderloin along with dehydrated rabbit, elk, venison, and bison.
Q: My cat is picky. Will they eat these?
A: Most cats are drawn to pure meat treats because there's nothing in them but meat. The freeze-dried rabbit tenderloin is a favourite with fussy cats, and the mix of textures gives your cat something new to try each day.
Q: Is the advent calendar suitable for cats with allergies?
A: Each treat is single-ingredient, and rabbit, elk, venison, and bison are novel proteins that many sensitive cats do well with. Because the calendar includes four proteins, if your cat has a known allergy to any one of them, you may prefer one of our single-protein cat treats instead.
Q: Are the treats safe for senior cats?
A: Yes. The freeze-dried rabbit is light and easy to eat, and the other treats can be broken into small pieces or crumbled over food.
Q: Are the treats raw or cooked?
A: The freeze-dried rabbit tenderloin is raw. We freeze-dry it from raw rabbit, so wash your hands after handling. The rabbit, elk, venison, and bison treats are gently dehydrated, not raw. All of them are shelf-stable.
Q: When will my calendar ship?
A: Calendars ship between November 15 and 30 so they arrive fresh for December 1. Quantities are limited, so we recommend ordering early.
Q: Is there a dog version?
A: Yes. Our Dog Christmas Advent Calendar has 24 days of treats for dogs, so every pet in the house gets a countdown.
Q: Does the calendar make a good gift?
A: Absolutely. It's an easy gift for any cat lover, whether that's family, a friend, a neighbour, or your cat sitter. Order a few and add a treat bag to reach free shipping over $100.
Q: Where does the meat come from?
A: We raise our rabbit ourselves in Ontario, without antibiotics, and our elk, venison, and bison are farmed in Canada and federally inspected. Every calendar is made by hand at our facility on Alderville First Nation using federally inspected meat.
Shadow doesn't like everything, but he has eaten every treat we put out. Shadow favors all the rabbit treats.
Our cat learnt how to get into drawers to get into this advent calendar and will miss out on half of December now for it. I've had to hide it away. He's usually picky but goes wild for these treats!
