My cat has kidney failure and anemia, what should I feed her?

Question

My 21 year old, kidney failure cat is anemic and I want to feed her foods that would be helpful. What are they? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 21 years and 10 months old | 6 lbs

The best diet for a cat with chronic renal failure is a canned-only, low-protein diet - this won't help with the anemia, specifically, but is the best option to help slow the progression of her kidney disease in general. You can try supplementing her with an iron supplement designed for cats such as Pet-Tinic - this can be ordered online without a prescription, and has dosing instructions on the label based on your kitty's weight.
