I used to give my cats Nutro Complete Care, but that was discontinued earlier this year. I looked long and hard to find a suitable replacement and settled on Orijen. The cats did well on it, all good.
Now my usual suppliers have increased the price of Orijen by 33% to bring it in line with other suppliers. Unfortunately, with 5 cats, I can't afford the price hike.
Can anyone help me find a good replacement?
I am looking at

I haven't really looked at Iams, Hills, James Wellbeloved, Purina Pro Plan or Royal Canin, cos they are not as good as the choices above?
Can you tell I am a little confused? lol
Can anyone recommend one of the above, or tell me what I should be looking for in the ingredients lists?
