High-quality dry food question
Hi all,
I know this has probably been asked a million times before but I couldn't find what I was looking for on the search button. I volunteer for a local rescue and have gotten quite involved. In the past I have done research for my own kitties regarding food so this is where this is stemming from. Does anyone know where I could find a list of good quality DRY cat food? I know wet is best and its what I feed my babies but the rescue in all reality can not afford the large bill! They currently feed RC now and encourage adopters to use this too. I am in a postion to educate them and change the RC for something better but not more expensive, kwim? Thanks in advance for any help or links you can send me

Definitely needs to be grain-free brands like .....
1. Orijen ......www.orijen.ca 2. Wellness CORE .....www.wellnesspetfood.com 3. EVO ....www.evopet.com There are other brands if you do a google search but those are the main three. |

Holistic Blend might be a cheaper option. One of the local cat rescues here uses that, along with Orijen and canned Wellness (much of it donated - are there any organizations or pet food stores in your area that would be willing to donate to your rescue for a tax write-off?).

At our local Global, there are donation boxes for local rescues set out in the store for people to donate food. The only thing is, though, you can't control the quality of food that goes into the box. Most people donate kibble, I donate large cans of Felidae that they can mix with the kibble so the kitties are getting some moisture. Not worried about the bacteria, these kitties are feral (TNR program) and are starving so the food is gone in minutes.

Just a question related to the topic but not a suggestion as I really dont know and dont want to suggest anything ...
What is the general concensus on Kirkland Cat food? I dont feed it but have been looking at it, especially for the random barn cats that cross through here daily, a nice snack for them may just make their day
