We just picked up our new kitten from the Humane Society on Saturday. We are SO in love, her name is Broccoli (They named her and now my daughter won't let me change it. It does fit her though!) and she is an 11 week old DSH Torti. She is so sweet and is already completely bonded, although I hate to say that she likes my husband more right now.
Now I am finding myself stumped about the feeding. Right now we are free feeding dry food (Maxximum Nutrition Kitten Formula) and giving 1/2 can of wet food in the morning and 1/2 can in the evening (right now Iams but I want to change that). Am I doing this right? Should I be free feeding the dry? She is liking the wet better now but she still won't finish it the whole 1/2 can and prefers the dry. Is the adult canned okay for her? Do they even make canned kitten food? We also aren't offering any food through the night (we have a mouse problem) is this okay? I just need some suggestions on feeding my kitten a good - but not too expensive - diet.
Thanks!
Jenny
