cuteavalanche Kittens who can't be with their moms
need extra love and care! But how do you wean them
from the bottle to solid food? We've got you covered
with Steve's Real Food!
This purrfectly simple guide shows how we transition
our bottle babies to raw food in 4 easy steps:
No Mom, No Problem! We use Kitten Milk Replacement
(KMR) every 2 hours for the first 2 weeks.
Growing Curiosity! Around 2 weeks, kittens get curious
about textures. Time to introduce food!
Time to Transition! We gradually increase KMR feeding
intervals as they show interest.
At 4-6 weeks, we start with a KMR and raw food (think
Steve's Real Food!) slurry, then slowly decrease KMR
over a week.

raw food? Ask us anything in the comments below!

Samantha fosters cats and kittens to keep them out of shelters. She advises leaving kittens outside for their mama to care for them, and then getting them spayed and neutered. Best Friends has a foster program that will help you become a foster and takes care of all the financial commitment. Fostering can be tailored to your lifestyle, and even if you think you're allergic, you can foster kittens under four weeks old.
