Brands I personally recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I recommend these brands because they are high quality cat foods, and they have veterinary nutritionists on staff. Having veterinary nutritionist on staff at a pet food company ensures there are experts there who know what a cat needs to be healthy and meet their nutritional needs, and formulates a food to match that. Because of that, in my opinion, I would pick one of those brands. I hope this helps!

Kittens do the majority of their growth in the first five to six months of life but continue to grow until they are around one year old. During this time of rapid growth and maturation of their bones, it is very important to choose a complete and balanced diet with the appropriate levels of nutrients. Diets formulated for growth include those labeled for kittens or “all life stages.” Canned foods promote increased water consumption in cats, and feeding dry food exclusively or in combination with canned is also acceptable. Offering a kitten with a variety of textures early in life can be helpful in minimizing the chance of having a picky eater. Regardless of diet selection, always make diet changes gradually by mixing the old and new foods together over five to seven days and make sure to carefully measure the appropriate portions of your cat’s food. Abrupt changes have a greater likelihood of resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Some brands I like include Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Nutro. Each of these brands offers a variety of types of food in both wet and dry formulations, and some even have specific formulas for certain breeds of cat, or nutritional need. You can try slowly transitioning to a new food to see if Bella enjoys any of them. Try not to switch too rapidly as a sudden food change can cause digestive upset. If she's having a hard time eating dry food, you can also try adding a little water to soften up any kibble, and warm it up in the microwave for 2-4 seconds to make it more enticing.

Kittens grow quickly in their first year of life, so during this time, they should ideally be fed a commercial diet designed for kittens. Kitten diets are formulated for optimal growth and development, particularly by carefully balanced calcium and phosphorus levels, and all life stages foods are formulated to meet the demands of both growth as well as pregnancy. After one year of age, your kitten can be transitioned to a diet for adult cats by gradually mixing the old and new foods together over a 5-7 day period.
