Well, not all, but many cities will be near the coast or a river or lake (for fishing)
And rabbits breed like bastards everywhere they have the chance. If you have the space and basic materials I should imagine very easy to farm.
I wouldnt aim to stay in the city where all the people are, I would head for the country to get away from the violence. Even if you are in a big city like London you are within a days walk to countryside.
Even if I had to hunt dogs and cats, I would think trapping would be more efficient then shooting them. You;d have to assume that as a survivor of an event like this the human population has been massively reduced? There are far less people to use the existing resources... I think there would be plenty of food for everyone to get through the first winter... just in terms of canned and preserved food.

I really am not thinking in terms of offensive weaponary I would want, but tools that would be the most useful. A sharp knife (for carving and butchering) would certainly be a useful addition. Once I got into wild nature and had me a little shelter, I would simply share what I had with anyone who came by, and hope they would find co-operation a better option than robbery. A spear and a fire is more than adequate to protect me from any wild creature in the UK (or the US if I lived there)
Of course, there is a risk. Today there are risks and in a world like this there will be no protection at all. By I think living peacefully gives you a better chance of survival than being heavily armed and being prepared to shoot or be shot on sight. The winters are not servere here and I could still fish.
