As you all know I am adopting a Kitten next month. I was wondering how to give her a varied diet

So far all I've figured out is a can of cat food daily ( different textures and flavors avoiding seafood)

And 1/4 cup blue dry food daily

What can I add to this?

I would not vary the diet much at that age. Feed her the same foods every day to establish good eating habits. Plenty of time for variety when she gets a little older.

Certainly stick with one dry food. The cans can be a little varied at this stage. 3 is fine. Keep it simple at this stage and have fun with your new furbaby
Congrats!

Otto is right, start one with one wet and one dry kitten food and stick with it.

Sounds great - that's exactly what I'm doing with my 9-week kittens. I have chicken & duck stocked up for canned food, and just use one dry food flavor. I'm using Blue Buffalo kitten dry as well - they seem to really like it! I'll probably move them to the Blue Buffalo Wilderness kitten dry when this bag is done, I'd like them to be on a grain-free diet from a young age.


You're going to be a great cat momma (or is it daddy?
)

I'm a girl. Unfortunately I am a little short on money but I was told any wet food is better than none. She is a rescue I will post her story once I bring her home
Lots of pictures too
