Our story so far

100% halal-certified cat food, full of natural goodness, and the perfect formula for a lifetime of happiness.

In the beginning

In November 2023, Aihtsham struggled to find cat food in the UK that was both natural and met Islamic standards for purity and animal welfare. As a concerned pet owner, he was hesitant to feed his cats, Ivy and Coco, non-halal food in his home.

His search led him to East Asia, a region known for its strict halal certifications. There, he found a solution and decided to create his own brand, Hurayra. Ethically tested on picky cats, Hurayra is 100% halal-certified and, most importantly, approved by Ivy and Coco.

Meet Ivy and Coco

Ivy and Coco hold a special place in Aihtsham’s heart. Ivy, a rescued kitten from a shed, was given to him by a caring friend, whilst Coco was gifted by a thoughtful relative.

Having never owned any pets before, Ivy and Coco brought comfort during difficult times, forging an unbreakable bond. This newfound companionship fuelled Hurayra’s halal cat food journey.
