Important Consumer Information: Feeding: Milk Replacer for Cats and Kittens: Special Note: It is very important that newborn kittens receive colostrum from the mother in the first 24 hours of life whenever possible. Colostrum is the first milk produced by the mother after queening (giving birth), and contains protective antibodies and other nutrients essential for healthy growth and development in the kitten. This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Mix 1 enclosed scoop (approximately 5 ml/cc or one teaspoon, measuring approximately 2 grams of dry powder by weight) of milk replacer powder into 2 teaspoons (10 ml/cc) of warm water (110-120 degrees F) by gently shaking or stirring until the powder is completely dissolved. Before feeding, test the temperature of the milk by squeezing a drop on your arm. It should feel comfortably warm. Feed the mixed milk replacer solution at room to body temperature (no warmer than 98.8 degrees F). Offer at a rate of 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml or 1 fluid ounce) for each 4 ounces (1/4 pound or about 113 grams) of kitten body weight daily. Divide the total amount of daily milk replacer solution evenly between regularly spaced feedings - for very young, small, or weak kittens this might be as often as every 2-3 hours; for older larger kittens every 6-8 hour may be sufficient. Weigh kittens every few days to ensure adequate feeding. Please see the table below for feeding guidelines based on kitten age and body weight. Adjust the feeding schedule and the amounts fed as needed for kitten's body condition and appetite, using your own good judgment. Healthy kittens should double their birth weight in the first two weeks of life (gaining approximately 10-15 grams per day). Consult with your veterinarian for advice on feeding orphaned or rejected kittens. Food Supplement for Older (Weaned) Kittens, Show Cats and Old Cats: Feed at a rate of 1 enclosed scoop (1 teaspoon) of milk replacer powder for each 5 pounds of body weight - mix dry powder in equal proportions into the daily food. Be sure to mix with fresh food each day to help prevent spoilage. Food Supplement for Pregnant and Lactating Queens: Feed at a rate of 2 enclosed scoops (2 teaspoons) of milk replacer powder for each 5 pounds of body weight until 2 weeks after queening - mix dry powder in equal proportions into the daily food. Be sure to mix with fresh food each day to help prevent spoilage. Storing Milk Replacer: Reconstituted liquid milk replacer may be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Stir thoroughly, then re-warm the solution gently in the feeding bottle over a warm water bath - do not microwave. Feed at room body temperature (no warmer than 98.8 degrees F). Do not heat formula because milk may be too hot. Discard any re-warmed milk replacer solution left over after feeding. Dry milk replacer powder should be stored in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Use within 18 months of manufacture (by the best by date on the package). Dry powder may be stored in a tightly sealed container in the freezer to extend shelf life up to one year.

Kitten Body Weight: Weights are approximate - feed by weight, not by age. Number of Feedings Daily: Feed smaller, younger kittens more frequently than older, larger kittens. Amount of Liquid Milk Replacer per feeding in milliliters (ml or cc). Amount of Liquid Milk Replacer daily in milliliters (ml) and fluid ounces (fl oz). Ask a Vet: Stimulation is required for the release of both stool & urine until 3 weeks of age. Use a warmed, wet wash cloth or a rough paper towel. Make sure the towel is wet. Slowly massage the genitals until the kitten has urinated and defecated. The stool should be softly formed, not runny. If the stool is runny, it is a possibility you are overfeeding the kitten or it has a parasite. It is better to feed more often and give less food each time than to overfeed a kitten. Potty them before and after each feeding.
