I have been feeding my cats Innova brand foods for a little while now. I used to feed pet promise, which is an excellent food! It's not organic, but it's pretty darn close. Innova carries the names EVO, California Natural and a couple of others. EVO has an extremely high protein content, which cats usually do well on, but 2 of my cats couldn't tolerate the high protein, so I switched to california natural which has lesser protein and only like 5 ingredients plus vitamins. It's for cats that have sensitivities.

My TARGET has started selling Newman's own organic pet foods.

PETCO sells pet promise and Organix

PETSMART carries some good stuff too, though I don't think they sell organic stuff, though that depends on where you live.

There's always WHOLEFOODS of course if you have one near by or EARTH FARE. They are usually pricey though.

Many local pet stores will carry premium brands also. by the way, none of the above foods were involved in the pet food recall. Google pet food labels to educated yourself on the best quality pet foods.

PETFOODDIRECT.COM is also a great place to get any food you would like. If you go to COUPONCODE.COM you can almost always find a 10-12% coupon code for petfooddirect.com which will offset the shipping and handling costs.

Good luck! let us know what you decided on.

I am feeding my 2 cats a very high quality cat kibble which is made by the Blue Buffalo company. Their web address is"

www.bluebuff.com or call 1-800-919-2833

Their "Wilderness" brand has no animal by-products, no corn, no wheat or soy and is glutin free. It has chicken, sweet potatoes, carrots, blueberries, cranberries, flax seeds and other good ingredients. My cats love it. Although it is made in America, I can also buy it in Canada at Petsmart.

I give them a vet recommended "large sized" kibble also to help keep their teeth clean. Hope that this helps you...your cat is sooo beautiful!!!

I Love Petfoodirect, if just to read labels before I go shopping. You can check the ingredient labels right online, and they also have raw food diets, organic, and grain free sections, to browse.

I am partial to the Avoderm for felines, it has alvocados in it and is awsome for thier fur makes them really soft.

I also liked Felidae but it didn't agree with my oldest Leroy.

A great online store with good selections of dry and wet food and more.

I personally use Nutro and Pet Promise dry food and just recently got some Pro Plan and Nutro wet, upgrading from Friskies as I'm getting more educated on quality. Good luck!!!!

CRF- Chronic Renal Failure

RE: High Quality Cat Foods

PeaLoki&Gabe — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:49:06 GMT

Pardon my ignorance, what is CRF?

RE: High Quality Cat Foods

divinemslou — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:24:21 GMT

Another high-quality prescription food that my vet recommends is Purina NF.
It comes in canned & kibble. It is specific for cats in chronic renal failure but all cats can eat it and benefit from it. All my cats like it although they do sometimes get weary of the same food. We alternate between this food and Royal Canin modified (also for CRF cats and others).

Pet Promise- organic food. BTW it was not affected by Pets Food Recall, because they do not use wheat gluten.

ACANA and Orijen (Champions petfood, Canada), Pro-Nature, 1st Choice very popular in Russia and Ukraine, also were not affected by Pet food recall.

coolkat (4/6/2008)

how did you get that moving thing with the names???

It's an animated gif. I made a bunch of still frames with the names and the different color paw prints and then I animated them and saved it as one file. Taa Daa animated avatar. I can make you one if you want. Just need kitty names and color preference and pics if you want them included. PM them to me.

Michelle

I want to apologize for the hijack. Looks like you are getting a nice list of products there now. It is so good to know there is a nice quantity of quality foods out there for our furry babies.

My trio will eat Nature's logic kibble but not the moist food, though i prefer their moist food to their kibble for nutritional reasons. Evangers (http://www.evangersdogfood.com/cat/ )is also good, made in the USA with fresh products you would eat yourself (Rachel Raye had a special on Food Network soley about making your own dog foods, and it featured Evanger's). Natural balance is also good, Paul Newman's pet food is also good. Spot's stew is good, but the one time I tried buying it for my feline family, they refused to eat it, and it reminded me a bit too much of Campbells soup, it smelled exactly the same at least.

Merrick is another brand to look into though at present they only make canned foods for cats. The training treats if you can cut thm smaller, are an excellent treat. 100% dehydrated beef or lamb lunghttp://www.merrickpetcare.com/store/.

wysong kibble and moist foods are probably some of the best out there. the moist food is feline/canine meaning it has enough protein in it for both species. http://www.wysong.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WOTTPWS&Product_Code=WDARBU&Category_Code=FD&Product_Count=10 they also manufacture a pre packaged raw diet for those of you who want to and can afford to do that.

Some other good brands I can think of are:

Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, Wellness, Spot's Stew, Castor & Pollux Organix, Diamond Naturals, Felidae, Innova (regular and EVO), Prairie, and Taste of the Wild.

I haven't tried this one, but I've heard good things about Spa Select. Pro Plan is also good. I'm feeding mine Royal Canin, which I see you already have on your list.

RE: High Quality Cat Foods

kittycatsdelight — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 05:10:47 GMT

We have tried the holistic kibble and all my cats like it. I sometimes get a small bag and give it as treats. As it is high quality, is better for the cats and cost much less than actual treats. I prefer to use the Royal Canin for the simple fact that is has immunity boost for my Vixen. She is FeLv+ and we want to ensure she gets the best quality food and care possible. This is also why we feed the almo nature wet. It is colorant free, preservative free, additive free and consists of only all nature ingredients. They absolutely love the wet. I mean you have to see this stuff. You open a can of tuna and shrimp for example and that is what it is. Not processed junk. There are entire shrimp and flaked tuna inside. It smells wonderful and according to my husband it tastes good too. (Don't even ask LOL he said if his cats are going to eat it then he wants to test it first. :w00t

CoolKat,

Organic food is difficult to find. Usually grocery stores don't carry it, but you should be able to find some at a specialty pet store. Around here, in Ohio, our main pet stores are Pet Supplies Plus, Pet Smart and Pet Co. There are others, but those are the main chains.

Have you tried typing "Organic Cat Food" into Google.com and seeing what the results are? Once you find a brand, then call your local pet stores to see if they carry it. Some manufacture websites offer a distributor locator so all you have to do is type in your zip code and it will show you the closest distributor to you.

I hope this helps!

Thank you Kittycatsdelight. I will look into it to see if we have it here in the states. Have you tried this food before? Has your experience been a good one?

Thanks again everyone!

We have a high quality holistic cat food here (in Italy) called Almo Nature. The canned wet is all natural consisting of meat, cooking broth and rice (sometimes a veggie too depending on flavor). The kibble is holistic. The website if you want to check it out is here. It is actually a company from Sweden. My cats enjoy their wet food. (not pate as they refuse to eat it ) But eat Royal Canin dry.

High Quality Cat Foods

vettechgirl — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:09:08 GMT

Hello all!

I'm looking for very high quality brands of cat food that I can research. This is the list I have so far:

Science diet, Iams, Nutro (Max Cat and Natural Choice), Royal Canin, Halo and Solid Gold.

The brands can be dry canned, pouches, raw, organic, holistic, whatever. I'm just looking for something that is very high quality- so not your family dollar brand. (Not that if anyone feeds thier cat a family dollar brand that it's bad! I don't want to insult anyone here!)

I'd appreciate your insight! Thanks!

P.S. Keep those possible FeLV+ cat shelter suggestions coming too! They've been working out great!
