5 Types of Cat Food: How to Choose the Best for Your Cat | Pet Keen

some cases, you may have to hand-rear kittens. This procedure may be necessary especially when the mother cats are not around to assist their baby felines. Hand-rearing is a complicated method, and you need to learn more about it if you want to care for the kittens.

One matter you need to remember in hand-rearing kittens is the milk you should use. Experts advise not to use the milk of goats or cows because they contain low amounts of protein and fats. What should you use? You need to buy queen’s milk formula from pet stores or online shops.

When the milk supply of the kittens is insufficient, better give them supplemental feeding. You may buy a milk formula designed for kittens. Be sure to read and follow the preparation instructions carefully.

In general, kittens that are two weeks old need to be fed every three to four hours. You need to warm the milk first at 95–100 °F before giving it to the kittens. Use the back of your hand to check the warmth of the milk.

Any concern you may have about the diet of kittens should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Webster, NY.
