    After talking (negotiating really) for months, we added to our family today! Went to shelter and brought home a 6 month old tortie named Dawn - which DD has renamed Sunrise.
    Sunrise is right now secluded in the office.

    Have a question about food. Tom (OTJ) & Minnie both eat Wellness canned, chicken and turkey only due to Tom's early CRI.
    What do I look for in kitten food? Any brand recommended?

    There is not much difference between adult and kitten food. See:

    Most cat food is formulated to be good for both adult cats and kittens. Thus, you should easily be able to find a canned good for a kitten. The Wellness may be OK for kittens. FUrther, I consider

    Don't see any reason why you can't feed her what you are feeding the others. Will certainly make life easier.

    Now, pictures please!

    Kittens need more calories than adults because they're still growing but, as Dr. Lisa has said, there is no such thing as a kitten mouse or a senior bird. Just feed your Sunrise more of what everyone else is having and have fun with her!

    Oh torties are so much fun! Gratz on the new addition.

    Don't know that I can see any good reason to rename her however! ;)
