Innova EVO 95% is an excellent cat food (and so is Wellness). There are no
grains in EVO, which cats should not have. Wellness also has grain-free
canned food, and I use both of those brands. However, EVO has a softer
texture and cats really seem to love it. It is rather pricey, but I
mentioned it because of the need to keep weight on your cat.
