Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

The single pouches are meant to be single serve per cat, and it gives the cat fresh wet food each time as opposed to the larger canned food that must be stored in the fridge if all of it isn't used at once. By a cost comparison, the pouches will be more expensive, so it's fine for you to give Wilkie and Orieo the half a can of the wet food instead. Brands I recommend including Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps :-)

Either kind of wet cat food is fine to feed. Your new cat may have his or her own preferences so you may want to buy both types and see which kind is preferred. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck with your new cat!

In looking over Weruva's website, I see that they claim their food to be very low in phosphorous level. That's good, as phosphorous levels in the food should be low in cats with kidney problems. The problem that I see with the food is that is does not state if it is high in protein or not. The website says it has high quality protein, but does not provide if there is a restricted protein or not in the food. In cats with high renal numbers, it is recommended to have restricted protein levels in the food. That's because many of the toxic products that accumulated in the blood due to kidney problems are due to protein breakdown, so it's important to have reduced levels of protein in the diet. Because cats are obligate carnivores, however, this protein restriction has to be done with care. Given I cannot find any information about this food being low in protein, I would not recommend feeding it to Twitchy. It would be better to feed her a kidney formulated diet, such as Hill k/d or Royal Canin renal. I would feed her a wet food instead of a dry kibble.

Purina one urinary tract in gravy is a good food. You can also try the urinary tract foods (canned) manufactured by Hill's prescription, Royal Canine or Iams. Sometimes it helps to warm up the food to make it more attractive to Bubba,
