Best Manganese-Rich Foods for Cats

Ranked by manganese content among foods safe for cats in the Creature Feast catalog.

Brown rice per 100g cooked: 0.8–1.1mg manganese Brown rice is one of the richer manganese sources available. While cats are not natural grain eaters, small amounts of cooked brown rice are safe.

Eggs per large egg: 0.01–0.02mg manganese Eggs provide trace manganese along with their many other nutritional benefits.

Spinach per 100g cooked: 0.7–0.9mg manganese Spinach contains substantial manganese, though it should be offered rarely to cats due to its high oxalate content.

Chicken per 100g cooked: 0.01–0.02mg manganese Chicken provides small amounts of manganese. Not a concentrated source, but contributes as part of the overall diet.

Pumpkin per 100g cooked: 0.1–0.2mg manganese Pumpkin provides modest manganese and is well-tolerated by most cats, making it a practical plant-based supplement.
