Good low-protein food for cat with kidney issues

Need recommendations on good low-protein food for an over-20 y.o. cat.  She prefers pate that I can add water to to make a gravy consistency.  I've tried the prescription Royal Canin, and she doesn't like it.  For dry she's eating R/C Mature mixed with R/C Babycat.  Thanks in advance!

Have you visited the Feline CRF web site? There's good info there on diet and other ways to manage a cat with kidney issues.

There are some threads here on TCS that discuss diet and good commercial brands to feed:

Bumping this for more replies.

Have you tried Hills k/d? That's also prescription and I know a lot of folks don't like Hills, but the cats seem to love this stuff. I give it to my CKD kitty and my kittens go bonkers because they can't have it. Is it really bad right now for her? Is she not eating at all, or just not liking that particular food?

Here's the direct link to the canned food portion of one of the sites listed up above: http://www.felinecrf.org/canned_food_usa.htm

The Science Diet, depending on what you get, is between 0.6-0.7% phosphorus (that's the really important part, more than the protein). For reference, k/d is 0.4%. The protein goes up to about 41% from what I can see on the list. Also for reference, k/d is 28%. Ironically, the ones with lower phosphorus have higher protein %.

I have gotten (as part of the "community" canned food) the minced Science Diet chicken formula. One of the 0.7% phos ones. It's minced, and that is the closest texture to pate they they have. It's actually softer, and my kitties loved it.

i pulled this info from my spreadsheet. It's actually from Tanya's page mentioned in my last post, but I have it all sorted by protein (lowest to highest, up to 40%) in my spreadsheet.

The first column is the food name/flavor, the second column represents the % of phosphorus, and the third column the % of protein. the last one on there is one I added from another website.
