Kidney Failure - Recently Diagnosed

[m.scott]

I recently inherited an 18.5 year old cat, Muffy from my mother in-law who just passed away 4-weeks ado. Muffy is actually my cats (Munchkin) daughter and has just been diagnosed with the same disease her dad had, Kidney Failure (he passed away in Jan'08). We undertook the approach of Holistic as most Doctor's we took Munchkin too had minimal to no options, where Holistic approach has many options available. I am currently feeding Muffy Merrick wet cat food, but concerned about the possible levels of phosphorus and containing cranberries. I have used the felinecrg.org website as my key resource for assisting with symptoms and possible solutions.

I am not sure that the low protein is the best direction as there is so much controversy in animals and feel this is the right path for us.

Any ideas on food types that would ensure proper health and restricting phosphorus levels?
