I've been feeding mine a mixture of wet food (Friskies) in dry Iams kitten food for the extra nutrients but since I'm so new here and you all have such experience at this...I'm curious as to what you all feed yours...

You mean while they are outsiders? Mine liked Kitten Chow. Inside? I feed'em the same as if they were pet cats, no diff.

They mostly get Iams, wet and dry, since the rescues that have helped me get a lot of it donated.

There's no place like home
When they come inside, they get Innova, Wellness or Felidae. When they are outside, Iams or Purina. There are dogs that come into the yard and feed from the station once in a while. I can't afford to give them the pricey stuff. Believe it of not, none of them are interested in wet food.

Mine get Friskies wet food and Iam's restricted calorie crunchies. One of them is a pig (William) and the other (Ace) is lithe and trim like a gymnast

Okay this helped me a ton. I wasn't sure if I should feed him something more nutrient dense like Kitten food or what would be best as he doesn't appear to be too picky...awwww thanks everyone you have been sweet!

Since one of our feral colonies totals up to 50 cats we just feed the cheapest brand of dry food we can find! I also have 2 feral colonies at work that I do the same for. We can't afford, nor do we have the time, to mix wet with dry.

At home we free feed dry food and then they all get about 1 teaspoon of wet food in the morning. You would think they were starving they way the wait for this one little teaspoon full!
