Kittens will not do that well on dry food alone. It's not that good for them - has too much fiber and carbs which cats do not really need. They are carnivores after all. I would gradually change their diet and as badger said, kittens are more flexible and do well in changing diets. I changed my kittens' diets when they came home - even an older cat - with little problem. But it has to be done slowly. Wellness Wet food of various kinds are good but the members here have had good accounts of several brands. I myself make my own food for my cats- after the scare and the fact that the pet food industry did not change its bad ways, I was not ready to subject my kitties to that.

Good luck - whatever you do, they do need water and if you cannot afford food NOT in a grocery store (the absolute worst place to buy "cat food", Fancy Feast is not bad on occasion.
