I would believe they probably sell very cheap cat food which is probably bad quality. the best places to buy quality cat foods are either on the internet or in pet shops. good brands include: Orijen, Evovle, Blue buffalo and accana.

    I would feed canned food, pate style, Friskies is probably the best value for money. Walmarts have it for around 46cents/can. Store brand foods can be dodgy.
