Any cat lovers know if these brands are good for cats and would be suitable as a donation to animal shelters for the holidays? Mine doesn't eat wet food.

This is a high quality food perfect for a donation. Side note - get your cat off kibble. it's so bad for them and will likely cause diabetes as well as other issues eventually. ANY wet food is better than kibble.
I have good experience with Tiki wet food. High protein, no fillers. A little pricier than other brands but if you can get it to 0.30c to 0.45c per oz, then that's more palatable. You can substitute with Fancy Feast or kibble so your cat doesn't get too picky.

Confidently wrong how? That dry food doesn't directly cause diabetes? Maybe, but with that being said, once a cat is diagnosed with diabetes, a low-carb canned food (aside from a prescription diet) is often the best choice. If you browse the feline diabetes message boards, many cats have gone into remission just by being switched to lower carb canned foods like Fancy Feast.
Another big pro for canned food is you reduce the chances of urinary blockages - especially in male cats who are more prone to them. So why not just feed canned food in the first place?

You already said it. In addition, once a cat is diagnosed with diabetes, the key is low-carb, not dry. There are plenty of low-carb dry foods.
Also, Fancy Feast is not uniformly lower-carb.

Well, number one, on average it's a lot more expensive on a per-serving basis. I'm not trying to say that feeding wet food is a bad idea (one of our cats eats nothing but it, for example, which is, annoyingly, not part of this sale, while another eats nothing but dry and is as skinny at nine years old as he was the day he was born), but blanket statements such as yours are rarely a good idea.

Yes, but generally canned foods are going to be much lower in carbs than most dry foods and better for urinary tract health. Are there plenty of cats that live long lives eating only dry food? Of course. Having dealt with two life threatening urinary blockages in two male cats over the years, I'll always advocate for wet only or predominantly wet food for cats.

Combined with 6% at popular cash back site, that brought 4 boxes of Tiki Cat Grill down to just under $10 each.
