Due to the food scarcity caused by the quarantine, we are unable to buy Apple his normal canned food. We found Friskies Tasty Treasures online but are unsure if it is low carb.

Thanks Diane. That flavor is one of the only three flavors my civie will eat. And he will only eat Friskies.
He's the pickiest cat I've ever had. Thank goodness he's not diabetic.

This is the first time I've ever seen this Tasty Treasures, is it relatively new to the market? My Apple is diabetic and I have to be careful trying a new pate, but stock is non existent or weeks out on our regular Friskies pate.
 
It's been around for awhile. 3 years that I know of. Used to also contain cheese in the flavor mix. But doesn't contain cheese any longer.
I got a little ahead of the shortage. I ordered cases of the 3 flavors that are liked. Took 2 weeks to get them from Amazon.

Thank you, but I really don't know what "11.36% on a dry matter basis" means. The 2.5% is great, the 11.36% is horrendous.

Hey Caren, I don't know what the dry matter means also, sorry, hopefully someone will come along and tell us, what are you looking for the Friskies Classic Pate
I just looked on EBay and someone has the classic pate 5.5 oz 48 count
Salmon dinner
Mixed Grill
Turkey and Giblets
Ocean whitefish & tuna
12 cans of each
But delivery says estimated April 13-April 24
Price is 44.99
Shipping from New Hyde Park, N.Y.
If you look the seller is gift_shift

Also just found the classic pates on Amazon
48 count get it April 8- 17 if you order now it says. 44.37 free shipping
There are a few sellers I see, this one you will see it says sold by Elation Supplies
Hope this helps, I see 4 sellers on Amazon

How about the Fancy Feast Classic Pates, Chewys has a lot of those

So glad you got ahead of the rush. I'm still trying to find a definitive answer on the safety of using for diabetic cat. Thank you so much for the answers.

You're a real sweetheart for looking those up, I left Amazon to my cousin and well..I guess she missed those. I would be leery about Ebay, just because...but Amazon, absolutely. Thank you so much and yes, hopefully someone will answer the dry question.
