Kitten food

I have a nearly six month old kitten, who is very fussy. I have tried all sorts of brands. She likes AVA but the pouches are tiny. Many people here order on Zooplus, but the postage charges add to what is already an expensive food, and they don't stock AVA. She doesn't like many of the brands I have tried, and apparently cat food in gravy is not good for them. I am in despair. What can I buy that is a reasonable price, free of additives, grains and crappy meat, which I can buy easily without postage? She doesn't like Applaws or Lily's Kitchen.

Home made chicken, fish, it's much nicer.

They dont stock AVA as it's a Pets At Home brand. Who said gravy was bad? All pouches are about the same size so other brands would have the same size pouch. I'd stick to what they like. There isn't a great choice of kitten food tbh

My kitten is the same! She seems to prefer chunks of meat in jelly or gravy, but I think she gets bored so I have to keep trying new things. She has liked James Wellbeloved grain-free kitten food, Nature's Menu and commercial raw kitten food (it comes frozen and you defrost as necessary). She also loves raw chicken, meat etc as suggested by PP but I don't think they can have just raw meat that you buy in the supermarket because they need calcium too for healthy growth. Commercial kitten food contains ground bones or other sources of calcium.
