If I could do it now - I would. But now's not the option. So, I have to wait until he's at least a year and a half to two years old when I turn 18 or 19 when I move out of my own parents house, which will most likely be in Orlando. When I take Mitten with me, I want to transfer him on a RAW diet. Should I do it the day after (or two days after I move considering I have to get all the furniture settled) or should I wait a week or so to let him randevouz around the apartment to familiarize himself with the settings? I also want to get another cat - him a playmate/girlfriend, whom I WILL adopt, and she WILL be fixed (he's fixed to but they'll be playmates of course!) And it wont be till I can afford it and my roommate is okay with this. 

I just want to know if turning him over to a RAW diet is possible and affordable in my circumstances because i just want this to happen due to him not being on the best diet. Though I DO know that cats are very stubborn creatures and you cant really tell them what to eat or train them at all >_< So i cant really do anything if he doesnt like it.

I am glad you are thinking so much about your cats health. Raw food is less expensive than quality canned food but more expensive than dry food. How much it costs depends on what type of raw diet you choose. A commercial raw diet still costs less than quality canned. Making it yourself and adding the supplements is the least expensive way to go.You can also buy pre-mixed nutrients such as Alnutrin or TC Feline.Keep reading this site while you prepare to move and you will develop a plan.
