I brought my first cat home about a week ago and she was approximately 8-10 weeks (not completely sure) when she arrived. She was fully weened and the prior owners had been feeding her dollar store brand dry kitten food. I have been temporarily feeding her the same thing as I've been learning more about cat and kitten food and wanted to make an informed decision before changing her food. So far I have learned that wet is much better than dry. Unfortunately, my town has only a Wal-Mart, Kroger, Dollar Store, and Tractor Supply that sells pet food and I don't really have access to premium wet food unless bought online.
My main problem is that I work and it is unrealistic to leave wet cat food out all day for her as I've read it can be harmful if left out for over 2 hours. I leave in the mornings at 7:00 and arrive back home in the evenings at around 5:30, on a good day! I have located a cat/kitten food sold at Tractor Supply that seems to have good ingredients called 4health but it is dry.
What do you recommend. I don't have an abundance of money so buying the really high end wet food is not feasible. Plus, I have the issue with being unable to give her fresh food during the day.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
