Shani I don't know what pet stores and brands you have available to you in your area, but I feed my boys a food called Performatrin, which is an all natural food. Even the so called "high-end" foods at most pet stores aren't that good...like feeding your cat McDonalds' every day.
Just to give you an idea, compare the following ingredients. These next ones are from Hill's Science Diet (the Adult Cat food), widely considered to be a high-end food:

Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Brewers Rice, Pork Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Corn Gluten Meal, Chicken Liver Flavor, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Sulfate, Choline Chloride, Iodized Salt, Vitamin E Supplement, vitamins (L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Taurine, minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.
