As kittens transition from nursing to solid food they are given Weruva kitten mixed with raw. Our moms have a blend of Orijen Kitten and Orijen Original formula. Once they are eating solid food they transition to grain free wet as well as some raw. Kittens have dry food available at all times and are fed wet 3 times a day. At six months all cats eat Orijen, any formula except the fish, about 1 tbsp on their wet food. All cats are fed by weighed or measured portions. By weighing/measuring the portions obesity and the problems associated with it can be prevented.
We recommend World's Best Cat Litter. This is a corn based litter that is septic friendly.
We do recommend incorporating raw food into your cat's diet. We grind our own mix using chicken and a blend of chicken and pork. We have also ordered our raw from Hare Today in Pennsylvania and recommend them. Cats do not utilize grains and carbohydrates well so any food that they receive should be grain free and as low in Carbohydrates as possible. There are some complete raw diets available regionally. For those that are squemish, you can also use some of the freeze dried formulas such as Stella & Chewy. When you look at the list of ingredients the first 6 items should be meat in some way. Dry food should not make up the majority of you cat's diet if possible, it should be an addition to the real diet. We like Orijen Original Formuls, Regional Red, and Tundra formulas. The Instinct Limited Protein is a decent choice that does not use fish in it for those cats that are sensitive to fish in their diet.
As far as wet food, we predominantly use Koha limited ingredient. We order direct from the company. Stella and Chewy wet is good and we have had very good luck with Weruva wet food, we avoid using fish flavors although some salmon is OK. We have also used the Rawz turkey and turkey liver and chicken and chicken liver formulas. Fussie Cat non-fish flavors are also quite popular among our cats. There are many more grain free wet diets available, just check at your pet food store or order on-line.
To supplement for anything that may be missing in their diets all of our cats receive 1/2 tsp. of Platinum Performance Feline Complete Omega-3 Wellness Formula for Cats. We think that the condition of our cats speaks for itself.
