This is a specific conversation about Cat treats — what cats actually like — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Cats are notoriously fussy about treats — they tend to respond to strongly-scented, meat-based options and frequently reject anything sweet or grain-heavy. The best treats are high-protein and low in additives, which actually lines up well with what you're looking for on the immune support front. Is this for training, enrichment, or just rewarding, and does your cat have any dietary restrictions?
Mainly rewarding, and no restrictions. She's an 11-month-old Cornish Rex and it's her first winter coming up. I want to give her treats that have ingredients that are actually good for her immune system — not just empty calories.

Great timing to think about this — Cornish Rex cats have very fine, sparse coats which means they feel the cold more than most breeds and can be a little more vulnerable heading into winter. Before I point you in a direction, does she have any tendency toward a sensitive stomach? Cornish Rexes can sometimes be a bit reactive to richer proteins.
She's been fine with everything so far — chicken, fish, no issues. She's pretty robust for such a dainty-looking cat.

That's really helpful. For immune support, the ingredients you want to look for in treats are single-source animal protein, natural taurine content, and ideally some omega fatty acids — all of which support immune function, skin barrier health, and energy regulation. Avoiding fillers and artificial preservatives is important too, since those can create low-level inflammation over time. Given that she tolerates chicken and fish well, you have good options.
So what would you actually recommend for her?

I'd go with Thrive Premium Plus 100% Chicken Breast Cat Treats. They're single-ingredient — literally just freeze-dried chicken breast — so you get a clean, high-protein treat with natural taurine and no fillers, additives, or grains at all. The freeze-drying preserves the nutritional integrity of the meat better than baking does, which matters when you're relying on the protein itself to do nutritional work. They're also intensely scented, which Cornish Rexes tend to love. Not a supplement, but as part of a good diet heading into winter, they're a genuinely solid choice — and you're not trading immune value for a treat your cat will actually eat.
That sounds exactly right. I like that it's just the one ingredient — easy to feel good about giving them regularly.

Exactly — simple ingredient list means you always know what she's getting. Given her age she's still technically a kitten for a couple more months, so her immune system is in a good developmental window right now. Pairing clean treats with a quality complete food through winter will set her up well. Thrive also do a freeze-dried chicken liver version if you ever want to rotate and keep things interesting — liver is rich in vitamins A and B12, both useful for immune health.
