I am currently fostering 4 kittens, and thanks to the silent-but-steady medley of tiny growing bones, organs, and muscles, my foster room is now considered "the catfood black hole".

I've been feeding them Felidae dry, but I'm also considering exclusively kitten-chows with similar ingredients to Felidae Dry.

Is there a decent exclusively kitten-chow food which comes in a 20 (or more)-pound bag?

I'm aiming for under $50 (including shipping). I've been looking, but having little to no luck finding anything interesting:

(low-no corn&grains, light on veggies, no artificial flavors/colors).

Should I just stick with the Felidae?


Also, what are your thoughts on Timberwolf Serengeti?

I cant find chicken soup, and the 17lb nutro max is the exact same price as felidae chicken and rice dry. I think I might just stay with felidae.

Actually the Timberwolf Serengeti is cheaper than the Felidae.
I tried the Timberwolf Serengeti, but my cats didn't seem to like it as much as some of the other foods.
I am now using a mix of Felidae, Innova Regular and California Natural.

If I only had the kittens I would go with the Natura Healthwise. All my cats seemed to like it quite well, but I have cats that don't need to put on weight so that's not a good choice in this house.

The HealthWise cost about the same as the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul and I think it might be a little bit better food.

Here's a link to the info on HealthWise. It can be purchased online from PetFoodDirect.com

Sweet. That's where I buy my food, and the price is a bit more reasonable. I think I'll give it a try.
