Brit Care Cat GF Sterilised Sensitive with rabbit, 2 kg is a grain-free dry food from the Czech brand Brit for adult neutered cats with sensitive digestion. The main protein is rabbit: 26% fresh meat and 26% dehydrated. Instead of grains it uses yellow peas and chickpeas. Low magnesium and added L-methionine keep urine pH at 6.0–6.5, while sea buckthorn, nasturtium and cranberry support the urinary tract. It has 31% protein, 18% fat and 361 kcal per 100 g.

Pros
- Rabbit as the main protein. A less common protein that suits cats that don't do well on chicken- or beef-based foods.
- Grain-free. Carbohydrates come from peas and chickpeas.
- Urinary tract support. Low magnesium, L-methionine, sea buckthorn, cranberry and nasturtium.
- For digestion. Psyllium, prebiotics and inactivated probiotics.
- Plenty of taurine. 2,500 mg per kg for the heart and eyes.
Cons and what to keep in mind
- Contains chicken. Chicken liver and poultry fat — not for cats with a strict chicken allergy.
- 18% fat. Portions for a neutered cat must be controlled strictly.
- Legumes. Peas and chickpeas together make up 26% — that's plant protein.
- Not a prescription diet. If stones or crystals are already present, a veterinary diet is needed.
Feeding after neutering
After neutering, metabolism slows while appetite often grows — without portion control a cat gains weight quickly. You can switch to a neutered-cat food right after surgery, on a vet's advice. Feed by the cat's weight rather than "as much as it eats", and watch water intake: the more a cat drinks, the lower the risk of urinary stones.

How to control weight
Weigh your cat monthly and feel the ribs. If weight is creeping up, cut the portion by 10% and add 10–15 minutes of wand-toy play twice a day. Treats should be no more than 10% of daily calories. More in overweight cats and dogs.
Who it suits
Neutered cats with sensitive digestion, cats tired of chicken, and cats that need urinary stone prevention. What's known about grain-free food — see grain-free food: facts and myths; other foods are in dry cat food.
Verdict
Brit Care Sterilised Sensitive is a well-designed grain-free rabbit food for neutered cats: lots of meat, urinary tract support, and prebiotics and herbs for digestion. With a chicken allergy, note the chicken liver and poultry fat, and with 18% fat, measure portions precisely.
How to switch your cat
A gradual switch matters especially for cats with sensitive digestion. For the first 2–3 days mix 25% new food with the old, then 50%, then 75%, and only after 7–10 days feed 100%. If stools become soft, stay at the current stage for a couple more days. More in how to switch your pet to a new food.
