Cat food trays
A foil tray is the flat, single-serving format you'll know from ranges like Sheba — sealed with a peel-back lid rather than a pouch seam or a ring-pull can. It's a small format choice, but it changes how easy a meal is to portion and how much washing up it leaves behind.
What a tray gives you that a pouch or can doesn't
A tray is generally a single, complete portion, so there's less guessing about how much to spoon out compared with a large can meant for more than one meal. The wide, shallow shape also means less digging around with a spoon and an easier tray to rinse than a deep can.
We stock trays from Sheba's Classics, Select Slices and Nature's Collection ranges, covering terrine-style, gravy and jelly textures across chicken, salmon and mixed poultry recipes. Most come in multipacks of 8, which suits a household feeding one meal a day from the format rather than mixing formats meal to meal.
How to choose
Texture is the first real decision: a terrine (pâté-like) tray suits a cat who prefers something smoother, while gravy and jelly trays suit one who likes to lap up the sauce first. If you're not sure which your cat prefers, a mixed-recipe multipack is the easiest way to find out without committing to one texture.
Beyond that, check whether the range is marked complete or a topper — most of what's on this page is a complete meal for adult cats, but always read the individual pack rather than assuming, since brands do run complementary lines alongside their complete ones.

Common questions
- Are foil trays better than pouches?
- Neither is objectively better — it comes down to preference and practicality. Trays tend to be a touch easier to portion and less messy to open than a pouch, but a pouch takes up less bin space and is easier to carry on a trip, so the choice is mostly about which suits your routine.
- Can I feed a whole tray in one go?
- Most trays in this range are sized as one complete serving for an adult cat, but portion sizes vary between brands and recipes, so check the feeding guidance on the individual pack rather than assuming every tray is the same size.
- Do trays need refrigerating once opened?
- Any unfinished wet food should go straight in the fridge, covered, and be used within the timeframe stated on the pack — usually within a day or two. If your cat won't finish a tray in one sitting, that's worth factoring into which size or format you choose.
