Hi Kris,
Usually the special diets are not for urinary tract "infection" (in quotes, because these bladders usually culture negative) but rather to prevent crystals. Do you think that's true of the one you mention? I'd guess so. Big Pet Food has been selling diets to manipulate urine pH for 30 years or more.
The best answer for prevention is not homeopathy. It's feeding a species appropriate raw food diet. Cats eating balanced raw food don't get crystals in their urine.
I've got some pages about making the transition under the Vital Path that may help you get there.
All the best with your youngster.
