First of all, get rid of kibble. Make it a rule that it never is in your home ever again...EVER again...
Second, will your cats eat cooked meat? If so, get rid of the canned too. Here's what you will need to do. You need to save all of the egg shells you use. If you don't use eggs, start or ask your friends and family to save them for you. Dry them out in the oven. Just until they are crispy (usually an hour at 250 degrees). Grind them up finely. A pinch a day per cat will be plenty for a bone substitution.
You need to gently boil your pet's meat until it is cooked through. The meat should be cut up into cubes. Start smaller (like minced) and gradually increase the size of the meat piece. Keep a bit of the liquid with the meat. My cats went CRAZY for the liquid. Add a pinch of the ground egg shell.
Gradually, over the course of 3-6 months, cut back on the amount of time you're cooking the meat until you end up with it being completely raw. It should be so gradual that your cats do not notice it.
When you're doing this, make sure they get a decent variety, including liver and other organs. Your cats will imprint on certain foods at this point as being "safe" foods. Once you are close to being completely raw, you can start adding in minced up chicken necks or broken up chicken wings (use a hammer).
This is how I switched 2 of my 4 cats. My other two cats took to raw the moment I brought them home (lucky break for me).
