Food per month per cat is probably going to run you $20. Do not feed junk food or the lowest cost stuff, it causes more problems and more vet trips. Litter per month--price out what you like, most cats go through a 25lb bag of litter every 6 weeks.
The cost to feed a dog for a month in an animal shelter can range greatly based on the resources of the shelter, but a general ballpark estimate is round $40-$60. This does not include special diets for dogs that need weight loss food or dog food for specific digestive needs.
