I guess I'm not really a wellness fan. It's what I initially fed my bengals initially when I got them, but I regret doing it. Three things that I dislike about wellness:
1. Wellness has traditionally been a pate-only canned food brand, and I've grown real distrustful of pate food. Imo, it is a less palatable way to serve food to cats, and it also conveniently obfuscates the ingredients in the food, letting them get away with using inferior ingredients. To wellness' credit though, in recent years they have (finally) started making other types of formulations, but even those foods don't pass the "eye and nose" test for me.
2. My three cats have always disliked wellness canned (and dry) food in terms of taste. We even auditioned some of the newer, more expensive canned varieties, but my cats hated those too. The only thing they like from wellness are the expensive food pouches. Now *those* are good.
3. Wellness has had food recalls. You need to think about that carefully when planning. Are you willing to put all your eggs in the wellness basket knowing that they'll more than likely have more recalls (or even scarier, maybe they won't)?
Personally, I think a lot more highly of Weruva, Tiki Cat and Earthborn Holistic. If you open up a can of any of those, you can see and smell the quality ingredients, and my cats are also much more enthusiastic about them.
Oh, and I wouldn't really sweat the "for kittens" thing when it comes to canned foods. For dry food, I can see it more, because they make the kernels smaller, which is helpful. But for canned? Just focus on getting them good food, that they really like to eat.
I've never heard of "Only Natural" cat food. That's a brand?
