Kitten Food
Good things come together.
A kitten grows faster in its first year than at any time afterwards, and kitten food is made for that growth. Choose a complete kitten recipe, split the day’s allowance into several small meals, and stay with kitten food until your cat is around a year old.
Several essentials. One thoughtful set.Our quick picks
In-stock options for different needs, with the practical reason we would choose each one.
Best fish-based dry kitten food
James Wellbeloved Kitten Dry Cat Food Fish
Why we picked it
A genuinely single-protein kitten food is less common than it sounds — most "fish" recipes for kittens still carry a second animal protein for palatability, and this one does not. Starting a kitten on a simpler ingredient list from the beginning also makes it easier to spot a reaction later, because there is less to rule out.

Best chicken dry kitten food
Purina One Kitten Chicken
Why we picked it
Protein at 41% is genuinely high, which fits what a growing kitten needs more than an adult formula would. The feeding table is also broken into three separate age bands rather than one, which is more useful in practice.

Best value kitten recipe
Burgess Kitten Chicken
Why we picked it
Complete status is the deciding point for a kitten's main food, and this recipe pairs it with a declared 25% chicken content. The pack-size choice also lets owners buy for their own storage and feeding routine.

A little guidance
Feeding a kitten by age
| Age | Feeding | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 8 to 12 weeks | Four small meals a day | A kitten’s stomach is tiny, so it needs little and often. |
| 3 to 6 months | Three to four meals a day | Growth is still rapid and appetite is high. |
| 6 to 12 months | Two to three meals a day | Growth slows, so the portion per kilogram goes down too. |
Keep the food they came home on, at first
Moving home is stressful enough. Feed whatever the breeder or rescue was using for the first week or two, then change gradually over seven to ten days if you want to switch.
A sudden change of food is one of the commonest reasons a new kitten gets an upset stomach. If loose stools last more than a day or two, or the kitten seems unwell, call your vet.
Wet, dry or both
Complete wet and dry kitten foods both cover a kitten’s needs. Many owners use both: wet for moisture and interest, dry for convenience and for a measured amount the kitten can graze on.
Fresh water should always be available. Cow’s milk is not needed and often upsets a kitten’s stomach; a specially made cat milk is a treat, not a drink.
Portion for the kitten in front of you
Pack guides list amounts by age and weight. Weigh your kitten every couple of weeks and adjust, aiming for a kitten whose ribs you can feel but not see.
PDSA warns that kittens who become overweight young are more likely to struggle with weight later. A kitten that seems hungry all the time may simply need its daily amount split into more meals.
When to move to adult food
Most cats move to adult food at about twelve months. Large, slow-maturing breeds such as Maine Coons may stay on kitten food for longer, and many makers give breed guidance on the pack.
Neutering lowers a cat’s energy needs, so keep an eye on body shape in the weeks after the operation and cut portions if the kitten starts to fill out.
Everything here is chosen to be genuinely useful in everyday life with your pet — quality-checked, fairly priced and shipped tracked across the UK. For any health concern, your vet is always the best first port of call.
Common questions
How long should a kitten eat kitten food?
Until around twelve months, and sometimes longer for large breeds. Check the pack for breed guidance.
How many times a day should I feed a kitten?
Four small meals at eight to twelve weeks, dropping to two or three by six months to a year.
Can kittens eat adult cat food?
Kitten food suits them better, because it is made for growth. A few mouthfuls of adult food do no harm.
