Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

Either kind of wet cat food is fine to feed. Your new cat may have his or her own preferences so you may want to buy both types and see which kind is preferred. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck with your new cat!

I always recommend choosing foods that follow the WSAVA guidelines which would include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina, Iams, and Eukanuba. https://www.wsava.org/WSAVA/media/Arpita-and-Emma-editorial/Selecting-the-Best-Food-for-your-Pet.pdf

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Tater-Tot (great name!) I am sorry that she is not doing well. It is hard when senior dogs stop wanting to eat the food that agrees with them the most. Since she has a sensitive stomach and likes the stews, I would ask your Vet about Hill's i/d stew. It is prescription but it is an intestinal diet so she may tolerate it better. Also Weruva makes a human grade canned food called Funcky chicken that is human grade. Looks like chicken soup, I have heard that 90% of dogs that don't want to eat will eat that. I wish you the best

This food a good food (there are better options however). Purina's top product line is ProPlan. It will contain higher quality and easier to digest proteins and other nutrients but you can continue feeding the cat chow if you like. For now however, you will want to continue this diet and start the cats on any new diet after they are transited to your home. Having two cats is generally pretty easy as long as they get along. Make sure each cat gets attention and play time. You may also provide two litter boxes (or even three) to make sure the cats don't feel that it gets soiled too quickly. Most cats are fine sharing a water and food bowl as long as they don't have dominance or competition between them. If they do seem to have some problems, you will need to have two separate feeding and water areas. It would also be useful to read up on cat behavior so that you can interpret what the cats are saying to each other. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
