A foster kitty has recently come to live with me from the shelter I work at. Long story short, the poor baby, prolly about 13-14 years was dumped in a cage at the Petco the shelter works on weekends without anyone seeing the "dumpee". He's a super sweet flamepoint that doesn't seem to have anything wrong with him other than age His teeth are horrid and he's just plain old but such a sweet guy I can't believe anyone would dump him that way. Thing that breaks my heart most is not knowing his name. I've named him Smudge but can you imagine after having a name for all your life suddenly having to adjust to a new place, new name, new everything??
You know if you're coward enough to dump a pet or take them to a "night drop" at a shelter to hide, leave a f**king piece of paper with their name and what you might know..name..age..history..whatever. urgggh..makes me furious.
Anyhoo, I ended up with him (much to my boys chagrin! ) cause the shelter was going to put him down just because he was "unadoptable" just because of his age!! So I literally snatched him on his way to "the room"
Sorry for the ramble but here's my real question for all you experts...I've tried every kind of food for him. Remember his teeth are bad (or not there!). He's thin as a rail so I feed him whatever I can whenever he wants. Quite a challenge with two fattie young kitties home too! Huvering like vultures...LOL.
I need to know the softest mushiest wettest food you know of. Like I said I've tried a variety and they've come from all sorts of places...the shelter, my mom, my sister, various kitty friends, stuff I've picked up, samples etc. The one he seems to have liked best was called NuPet. For the life of me I can't find it now!! And of course I don't know where it came from!! I've looked high and low (and online!) and can't seem to find it. He's doing okay on Fancy Feast (a small fortune!) but he licks up the gravy and eats a few of the chunks and leaves the rest. I've tried mashing up a variety, food processing...you name it!! The NuPet was super wet and just a mass in the can. I thought it looked like the cheap stuff but possibly vet only?? I've looked at Petco, Petsmart, Walmart, every supermarket chain in a 20 mile radius!!
HELP!!!!!!
