Cats are notoriously difficult to transition to raw. Some never get to the point of eating it 100%, it's not ideal but what in this life ever is? Persistence with really finicky cats is the only thing that will win the battle. I have 3 cats that will eat raw and one that wants to but can't. She will still try it on occasion but projectile vomits without fail no matter the meat she tries.
All of my cats go insane for venison, it's the only red meat they will eat. They get it only in the fall/winter since that's when my sources hunt. The rest of the year they get rabbit, chicken, turkey mostly. I have found a supplier that offers whole chicks, mice and baby quail that I'm going to get some stuff from. One of my cats used to be outdoor, when she had her kittens I brought her inside to raise the kittens and I never put her back out. I hope she will be happy with the mice/chicks/quail, I'm also going to get what are called popsicle bunnies, babies that are still born and frozen, when I get my next order of rabbit. My most out going cat tries to steal rabbit off the cutting board as I'm cutting it up for the dogs. I get the feeling he will go bonkers for those.
My best advice for those wanting to feed their cat raw is, don't give up. If you get them to 50% and they won't go any further, it's far better than not eating any at all. If you can get them on a grain free food as well as the raw, it's a benefit to the cat. Keep offering it, if you have to mix it with canned that's fine too. The best ground pre-made raw for cats can be found here, their product is superb. Good luck and happy Raw Feeding.
