Any good quality kitten food can be fed until she is about 12 months old then you can transition to an adult formula. A commercial diet will be much more complete than simply feeding the items listed. Choose a grain free diet with a named protein source. Avoid meat meals and by-products. Avoid store or discount brands as these typically contain low quality ingredients and more fillers. Choose a diet that is easy for you to buy and one that Bella will eat without causing gastrointestinal upset. Royal Canin and Canidae have a line of cat and kitten foods. You will need to check your local pet store or order food online.
