New shelter cat: Vet check-up needed? What are the best foods & treats?

Question

My new kitty cat is two years old and was adopted from a shelter in July so she’s been fixed and chipped. I’m assuming they gave her whatever shots she would need. This information may be on the papers on her that I will get on Wednesday. My question is... do I need to take her to a vet now for a check up? We are on a fixed income so if it’s not necessary I would prefer not to. Would rather spoil her! Also, I want to give her the very best dry food, wet food and treats. What would that be? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 2 years and 1 month old | 13 lbs

Hunny Cat is so beautiful! If you are adopting her from a shelter, she should have a check up with the vet before being given to her new home. Ask them if she has seen a vet, and if she has, then you don't need to take her into a vet now for a check up. I would only do it if she hasn't seen a vet recently. In terms of food, for the supermarket brands, I feel Purina One is the best. Other brands of food I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. For treats, I like Temptations. My cats love their treats, and come running whenever I shake the bag. I hope this helps!
