What brand of kitten food should I use for a rescued barn cat? Should I use dry or wet? kitten looks to be 9-10 weeks of age/ find the story on I found a feral semi-feral kitten
For a kitten? Feed both until the kitten is about a year old. Some kittens may decide they like canned better than dry in which case you can ditch the dry and just feed canned. A few 3 oz cans daily or a 5.5 oz can plus a little more is not unheard of for a growing hungry kitten. At a year old, switch to only canned if possible. A little dry in the diet is ok but canned is a lot healthier.Fancy Feast canned is a good inexpensive brand you can start with. Catinfo.org goes into more detail on nutrition. There are also articles here on TCS on food: Cat Food & Feeding – TheCatSite Articles
Ater being an out door cat wet mostly. I live in Texas so it is way too hot for a kitten to be outside with limited water. Canned shredded chicken in broth so something like fancy feast classics or natural white meat chicken or sheba perfect portions
