Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would find an "All Stages" food that all the cats can eat. There are many companies that make this kind of food that can be fed to adults and kittens. If you google all stages cat food some will come up. Below is a link for an example, not saying to choose this particular one.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How nice of you to take care of Lilly! She is very cute and it seems like she feels right at home. Lilly looks like a young adult and if you want to feed her the same urinary diet as your other cat that is absolutely fine. Otherwise I like Hill's, Royal Canin, Iams and Purina brands of foods. Good luck!

Pet food labels are notoriously difficult to read and interpret. Start by determining the life stage for which the diet is formulated. Adult diets should be fed to adult pets, whereas puppy, kitten or all life stage diet should be fed to growing animals. If a pet food has been formulated and/or tested to meet certain standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), pet food companies are able to place an AAFCO statement on the label. When in doubt, discuss any diet concerns for your pet with your veterinarian.

This particular diet is formulated to meet the demands of all life stages, so technically this should be fine for kittens and will be OK to feed them this. However, there can be some problems associated with feeding adult cats this food, because it may contain more calories and make them more prone to obesity. I've included a link below to an article that further explains details about choosing food for your cat. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/Health_Information/brochure_feedingcat.cfm

Kittens do the majority of their growth in the first five to six months of life but continue to grow until they are around one year old. During this time of rapid growth and maturation of their bones, it is very important to choose a complete and balanced diet with the appropriate levels of nutrients. Diets formulated for growth include those labeled for kittens or “all life stages.” Canned foods promote increased water consumption in cats, and feeding dry food exclusively or in combination with canned is also acceptable. Offering a kitten with a variety of textures early in life can be helpful in minimizing the chance of having a picky eater. Regardless of diet selection, always make diet changes gradually by mixing the old and new foods together over five to seven days and make sure to carefully measure the appropriate portions of your cat’s food. Abrupt changes have a greater likelihood of resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea.
