Vegetarian here as well. There are pre-packaged raw diets that you can buy at some of the higher-end pet food stores. Nature's Variety is a commonly available one. It's really no different than opening up a can.

Yup, the ones that growler mentioned: Wellness, Innova Evo, Nature's Variety, etc. I'll also add Precise, Eagle Pack, Natural Balance, and Merrick for some variety. There's a good link here on how to pick out a canned food: http://www.catinfo.org/commercialcannedfoods.htm

I'd also like to add that paying more for quality nutrition means you're very likely to pay less at the vets down the road. Most of the biggest feline illnesses (diabetes, obesity, allergies, IBD, bladder/urinary tract problems, and kidney disease) can be traced back to poor diet.
