NUTRITION
What types of food do we feed our cats and kittens?
Our kittens are initially given Royal Canin Mother and Babycat wet food when transitioning to solid foods, at around 4 weeks old. They are then moved on to Royal Canin Kitten wet food. This comes in two textures, a loaf pate style and a thin slices style. Depending on their preference, kittens will get either of these.
Kittens are also given Royal Canin, Hills/ Science Diet or Whole Hearted dry kitten food at around 5 weeks old.
Currently, our adult cats are given the Whole Hearted (PetCo brand) or Taste of the Wild brands of dry food, provided 24/7. They are also given Fancy Feast wet food occasionally.
*We are in no way endorsed, sponsored by, affiliated with, or compensated by the above brands. These are brands that we have chosen for our cats per our research and vet recommendation.*
