We adopted 2 shelter kittens this past June & switched them both over to Felidae Grain-Free kibble. I did a lot of research & going grain and gluten-free is important to us. My kittens have soft, silky coats with a wonderful sheen most likely due to this food.
While it's frustrating not to be able to purchase this at PetSmart or Petco when buying litter and canned food, I'm thrilled that Amazon is selling this & offers free shipping (I buy 2 at a time). So free shipping and delivered to my door is a no-brainer!
Our 8 yr old formerly feral cat doesn't care for this dry food, but that's because he was eating a grocery store bought dry food that was full of all the bad stuff that tastes yummy. (Purina Naturals) We've gone grain-free so this poor guy has to suck it up & eat Felidae when he wants to munch on something crunchy, otherwise he just eats his canned food.
I believe in offering both canned and dry food to cats.
BTWif you want grain-free canned, you might be surprised to learn that all "Classic" Fancy Feast flavors are grain-free (& most are gluten-free too). Cats don't eat fruits and vegetables in the wild, so I'm not falling for the Wellness Grain-free hype & switched back to Fancy Feast when I found out the pate-type Classic is grain-free/gluten-free & also approved for diabetic kitties! (don't have that problem however) Fancy Feast does use meat by-products, but the company assured me (& followed up in writing!) that their by-products are clean & only contain organ meats. And the by-products are not the first few ingredients which is also important to check when purchasing cat food.
UPDATE OCT 5 2011: There is a brand new totally toxin-free, grain-free cat kibble on the market: It's called "CATWELL" and can be purchased online at RedMoon. They make other formulas, but the CATWELL is a new formula, developed by an expert in cat nutrition. It also has no fruits and vegetables both of which harm a cat's kidney and liver & cause crystals/stones! My cats enjoying this switch.
