Any non-processed meats that you have cooked/ can cook, or a boiled egg :]

Do you have anything like chicken you can make, or at worst some lunchmeat (not the best thing but probably OK to tide him over just once), or canned meat. Even cooking up some hamburger meat would probably work. Cats are carnivores so anything meat related without byproducts or anything bad added should be OK... At worst get some fresh and healthy cat food tomorrow nad he will be OK, make sure there is a lot of good water out. Wellness is a great food, dont feed anything from the grocery store unless you plan on forking out a small fortune in medical bills. Paying $20 a month for food instead of $5 is WELL worth it (I feed great brands without byproudcts like Innova, etc., and that's all it costs for one cat. Some people are so cheap with their pets its sad)

As long as you get some in a few hours or in the morning, he should be fine. If he is truly hungry, try giving him some canned tuna. Just make sure to get the kitty's regular food soon. Having their diet changed suddenly can cause stress and could make them stop using the box or cause stomach upset. But a small amount of tuna won't hurt him. Don't ever let your cat go more than 18 hours without eating. If they go without for 24 hours or more it can kill them due to their fast metabolism rates.
Try to make sure you always have extra food on hand from now on. I have 4 cats and if I run out they go bonkers and meow like crazy. I try to keep a backup bag at all times so I don't run out. Plus, there is a 24 hour Wal-Mart a few miles from my house which helps.

Cats will eat anything if they are hungry enough. Avoid stuff with lots of salt. Are you able to afford cat food? If you have some tinned fish in brine in the cupboard you can use a little of that or cooked ham from the fridge. Other than that, cats should be able to hunt for their own food. Do you feel safe to let it out?

If you have any chicken you can boil it and once it has cooled break it up in tiny peices and give it to you kitty, or try some lunch meat broken up in small pieces.

Not tuna fish for humans. Boiled chicken is the best you can give him. Or any other meat cooked well and cut into pieces, or minced meat boiled or cooked. Or some fish.

Boiled chicken is your best bet. But get cat food back asap.

Boiled chicken meat or fish, without any seasoning.
