We want more years with our cats.
More mornings with them on the pillow. More evenings with them on our lap. It started with a wish every cat person understands.
That wish led us to a study.
In 2000, researchers began a nutritional study with 90 cats aged 7 to 17. Three groups received three complete diets: a base food, the same food with extra antioxidants, and a third with those antioxidants plus whole chicory root and a different blend of omega fatty acids.
After roughly five years, their statistical model estimated about one more year of life for the full-trio group than for the control group. The research was about complete food; everlife.cat was not part of the study.
For us, the question became: how could these nutrient groups fit into a moment you share with your cat every day?

A daily stick. Your usual food.
everlife.cat brings the three nutrient groups into a creamy lickable treat, served alongside your cat’s usual food.
The answer fits in your hand.
A lickable treat. One creamy stick with the three nutrient groups, offered from your hand, on a spoon or over the food your cat already knows.
We chose a box of 30 sticks because a daily routine should be easy to follow. We added the Day Calendar to the first subscription box so you can mark each day you have served a stick.
It is a small thing in your day. It is also a moment when you stop, sit beside your cat and give them your attention.
Your first day starts with one treat.
Meet the Daily Sticks and choose the box that fits your routine.
