I'm getting ready to run to the store real quick and I was hoping someone could give me just a few ideas for right now
I do think it would be very helpful to check out the entire site mentioned above, but it is a lot of information and has to be taken in bits and pieces in order to 'absorb' it all. Therefore, you could start with this section - Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease - Diet and Nutrition Overview (felinecrf.org). It will talk about things to consider in a diet, and then goes on to provide a table listing of non-prescription foods that are lower in phosphorus, which is a big issue with CKD cats.

Maybe if you go to a pet store one of the employees can advise you of lower phosphorus foods to start with? You can't get even that type of help in a grocery store, trust me.

Early stage CKD non-prescription wet food recommendations?
Twyla was just diagnosed with stage 1 kidney disease and the vet recommended low phosphorus, moderate protein foods as she does not want to put her on a prescription diet at this time. I am aware of the list on Tanya’s CRF page and on cat info.org and plan to dig through them to come up with...

Phosphorus Safe Limits Cat Wet Food
I’ve been doing some research lately about how much phosphorus is too much for a healthy cat. I have ragdoll cats Roo is 3 and Tigger is 6. I’ve been feeding them Rawz for almost 2 years now. How much should I stay at for phosphorus per 100kcal? They have been loving Rawz rabbit but it is 400mg...
