Refreezing chicken for my lovely old cat

I think it will be fine. The reason for not refreezing only really applies if you'd thawed some raw meat and then refrozen it without cooking it. This would allow time for harmful bacteria to multiply. A further defrost would allow even more bacteria to flourish!

Once the meat is cooked thoroughly the bacteria will have been destroyed, so refreezing and defrosting should be perfectly safe.

And don’t forget that a cats stomach has enzymes very different to humans - so bugs that would floor us are destroyed by a cats gut.

I think it will be fine for your lovely old lady. 20 amazing!
Have a lovely holiday.

I would just make sure that you cook it really well and it will be fine.
I'm sure quite some ready meals will have been made with frozen and thawed chicken before refreezing.

I'm going to make chicken casserole for us today; there'll be too much for two so I'll freeze the rest for another time.

I think as long as it's chilled quickly, eaten within a couple of months and thawed in the fridge it will be fine.

The same for the chicken for the cat. Don't re-freeze leftovers.

That will be fine, mumski, so long as the chicken is cooked and then frozen. Have a lovely holiday.

I should have said, I'm making it from frozen raw chicken, defrosted in fridge.

I’m pretty sure they’ll be fine. I’ve done this for dogs before. Enjoy your break

Thawed raw meat can safely be frozen again AFTER it has been cooked. For years I have batch cooked with raw ingredients from the freezer and after portioning and cooling thoroughly the meals go back into the freezer.

The chicken will be fine like that. At one time, I had 3 cats who all had chicken done in the same way.

Thank you for all your really helpful and kind replies.
That's put my mind at rest.
I shall get cooking x
