I cooked for Mai Mai and Dixie using a similar system. However, I
froze the food in muffin pans, popped them out and bagged them. This
gave me a day's meals or a serving at a time. I watch the chickens as
they get near the sale by date. Frequently stores will mark them down
dramatically a day or two before they have to throw them out. I have
been able to get whole fryers at 49 cents a pound and chicken breasts
at 79 cents a pound. The fryers produce lots of broth that I freeze
in the "lollipops" for Mom's ferals. Nothing is wasted and all I have
to do is put the chicken in a slow cooker. Being vegetarian, I prefer
to cook a lot at once. My cats prefer the chicken in pieces though.
The same could be done with beef or pork. I have added chopped raw
veggies (the ones that are high in vitamin C) to the mixture. I am
blessed with a freezer so I can pick up chicken in quantity when I
find a good buy.

I used to cook for Fred, I would cook chicken legs and thighs,
mostly thighs you get more meat for you money. Just cook, debone,
blend it in the blender to the consistency your cats like, mine like
it very blended, creamy like. I add an egg or two depending on how
much I am making and I add oatmeal or rice, usually oatmeal. Then
after I debone and blend the cooked oatmeal and egg together with
the chicken, I add the supplements. Taurine, bonemeal, a
mutivitamin, a little calcium, salmon oil and the supplements Fred
needs for his CRF and mix it really well to get it all mixed in.
Forgot I use the chicken broth to blend to the consistency I want.
Then I ladle into freezer safe quart size canning jars and freeze
them to use as needed. Fred did well on it and put on all the
weight he lost because of his CRF and some. He got bored with it
after several months though and now eats baby food with added
supplements. His weight is good and he is doing well on that.
