Absolutely! Cats and kittens can eat wet food (canned food) all the time and in my opinion they should. Actually I recommend that they get "ground mouse" as I call it. Best is to feed a good brand of canned food. While cats tend to get fat on dry food, especially in-door cats, this does not happen so easily with wet food. Also cats that tend to not drink enough while eating dry food, will get plenty of moisture with the canned food.
