I've been able to find EVO at various health food stores--Rainbow Blossom, 
Amazing Grace etc in Louisville, Ky and at some alternative vets.

Clarissa,

I am almost done switching my furbabies over to Innova
Evo, which is all natural, mostly protein, no grains
(which is great for felines), and supposed to be the
best stuff out there.  You cannot buy it retail.  The
company that makes it has said they don't want to
compromise the quality of the food, so you'll have to
go to a smaller store to buy it, as well as many other
premium foods, or buy online.  Hope this helps.

:)

all the posts i've read suggest feeding a high quality
food. would ya'll suggest brands ect that your furkids
do well with and like ? dry food as well as caned ?

the last  cat i had , PJ (paint job) lived to 16 and
wouldn't eat anything but meowmix. the herd is
currently eating a purina brand and having some
problems with it (namely gas *WHEW* !!)

i know Nothing about brands and quality of cat food.
i know in the future i'll need to change to caned food
and other options based on their health but for now is
there a dry food option that would be good for them ?
cost at the moment is the biggest issue with 8
chowhounds and recovering financially from the
spay/neuter cost. hmmm...also have to get them wormed
and then vaccines, the s/n was the biggest issue so we
could let the boys outa the cage ! (bandit kept
falling outa the hammock)


pogo, stitch, hudini, teddy, salem, bandit, oreo 
boots thank you for your time and recomendations in
this matter

I like Felidae, Innova, and Wellness. Wysong is a very good brand, but 
other than the dry food, my cats will not touch it. Innova EVO dry food 
they like ok and it is extremely high quality, with no grains. Proplan is pretty 
good, and I think cheaper than the others I mentioned.

Many of my friends feed raw--BARF diet. 
Honest Kitchen sells a dehydrated version for cats. So far mine two have 
refused it but, due to circumstances, they are used to eating Fancy Feast. 
They also eat EVO which is very high quality. It is supposed to be the 
next best thing to BARF. All I can tell you is that it is grain free and 
they eat a lot less of it than purina.

Here's my 2 cents:

If you need to shop Petsmart, in order of my personal preference:
Blue Buffalo
Royal Canin
Nutro

If you can find a retailer (not in order of preference because they're all 
good):
Precise
Eagle Pack
Inova
Wellness
California Natural

If you have the time and the money, try raw. I don't do raw because I 
don't have the time or the money, but I'm sure someone on the list knows of a 
recipe if you're interested in trying raw. My girls won't touch raw, but 
the boys love raw chicken.
