We're getting our two rescue cats this week, and while my husband has a lot of experience with cats, I'm a first time cat mama and have a million questions!
The cats are both about 6 months old, maybe 2-3 lbs, brother and sister short haired domestics.
I'll ask the foster mama what they've been eating, but we'd like to do whatever's best for them, so we can switch out if we need to. I'm a littler overwhelmed reading through the boards about Wet vs Dry, grain free, etc. We both work during the day, so I've been thinking a 50/50 wet dry schedule might work for us so they can free feed on dry during the day and we can give them a wet meal in the evening when we're home. We want to keep the cats as healthy as possible, and anything extra we can do to reduce shedding would be great too!
What are some foods that I should be looking into? What should I be looking for on food labels? If you do both wet and dry food, how do you schedule it?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
