The Basics

Food

Kitten (under 18 months old)

Purina Pro Plan kitten hard food: Chicken & Rice Formula

• I free feed our kittens hard food.  They need the extra calories as they grow a ton the first year.  They slow down around age one but continue to grow until age 4 to 5 years old.  This way they are getting the extra calories they need during those big growth spurts.

Purina Pro Plan kitten wet food: Variety Pack

• I give wet food once a day.
• If you plan to contiue wet food, I would start out with a forth of a can and go from there.
• Every once in a while, I will have a kitten who does not like wet food.  I will let you know if that is the case.

Adult (18 months old and older)

Purina Pro Plan adult hard food: Sensitive skin & stomach

• I free feed our adults hard food.  They need the extra calories as they continue to grow until age 4 to 5 years old.  This way they are getting the extra calories they need during those big growth spurts.
• Sensitive Skin & Stomach helps with hairballs and coat.
  

Purina Pro Plan adult wet food: Variety Pack

• Adults get one 3oz can of wet food a day.
• If you get a retired cat from me, I will let you know if they like wet food or not.  Most of my cats love it.

Treats

• I feed this to all the cats. 
• They love Royal Canin Maine Coon kitten.
• Freeze dried minnows. I've tried different freeze dried but minnows are their favorite. Freeze dried can be fed to both cats and dogs.

*If you wish to change the brand of food, we recommend that you purchase another nutritious cat food and introduce it gradually by mixing the current food in with the new food.
