The correct sentences that contain a restrictive clause are:
1. We fed the kittens that we found in the shed.
3. This is the house that I grew up in.
Restrictive clauses provide essential information about the noun they modify and are not set off by commas. In sentences 1 and 3, the clauses "that we found in the shed" and "that I grew up in" are necessary to identify the specific kittens and house being referred to, respectively.
