Cat Nutritionist in Singapore
I am Dr Francis, a cat nutritionist based in Singapore with a PhD in animal nutrition. I formulate paw-sonalised, science-backed diets tailored to your cat’s specific life stage, from a curious kitten to an ageing senior. Every consultation takes place entirely online for local pawrents, skipping the stress of carrier battles in favour of a clean, finished bowl at home.
Of everything that shapes your cat’s health, the bowl is the part you decide on twice a day, every day. Most owners reach out to a feline nutrition consultant at one of these moments:
An overweight cat who needs to slim down safely
A fussy cat who turns down anything new
A move from dry food to homemade or raw meals
A new kitten who needs a balanced feeding plan from the start
A senior cat whose nutritional needs are quietly changing
A cat with a diagnosed condition such as kidney disease, where diet forms part of the care plan
As a cat nutritionist, I do not diagnose or treat illness, and I never replace the care your vet provides. You do not need a vet referral to work with me, and I happily create nutritional plans for cats with diagnosed medical conditions.
When to See a Cat Nutritionist
Cat Nutrition Consultation With Dr Francis
A private cat nutrition consultation runs in three clear steps:
We meet online to review your cat’s current diet, your daily routine, and your health goals for them.
I prepare a practical diet plan for your cat, taking your daily schedule and household budget into account.
If you cook at home, you also receive a balanced recipe formulated specifically for your cat.
Some owners prefer to learn how to do this themselves. The Longevity Furmula is my 10-week, 1-on-1 pet nutrition programme, built around a private 90-minute workshop with me. You finish it equipped to assess your cat’s diet yourself and adjust their bowl as their needs shift over time.
Kibble, Raw, or Homemade Cat Food?
I work with every feeding style, and my recommendations are not tied to any pet food manufacturer. What I recommend is shaped by the cat in front of me and verified nutritional science.
Commercial Food
Dry or wet commercial food is a practical base. A few targeted additions and simple feeding adjustments can turn standard canned food or kibble into a meal far better suited to your cat.
Raw
A raw diet can suit a cat well, but only when it is genuinely complete. Cats have specific amino acid and micronutrient requirements that meat alone cannot meet. The difference between a safe raw diet and a deficient one comes down to precise formulation and safe handling.
Homemade
Cooking for your cat takes dedication, and it requires a recipe built properly. Most recipes found online fall short on essential vitamins and minerals. A nutritionally complete recipe formulated specifically for your cat is included in every consultation.

Weight, Kittens and Senior Cats
At any age and body condition, nutrition plays an important role in overall health and longevity. That is why every paw-sonalised plan reflects your cat’s age, health, breed and personal needs.
For overweight cats, weight loss cannot be rushed. Cats who lose weight too quickly face a serious risk of hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease). A planned, gradual nutrition-dense reduction meal plan is necessary to protect their liver, while preserving lean muscle.
Meanwhile, kittens require precise levels of protein, calories, and balanced nutrition to grow. Formulating the bowl correctly in their first year protects bone development and adult health. On the other end, senior cats undergo shifts in appetite, digestion, and muscle mass that alter their nutritional requirements. Calibrating their bowl to these changes protects kidney function and preserves lean body condition.
