Directions for Mixing: Gently stir or shake one part powdered KMR into two parts warm water (a part may be a teaspoon, tablespoon or cup). Do not mix more KMR than can be consumed in 24 hours. Do not use a blender. Reconstituted KMR should be kept refrigerated.
Directions for Feeding: All kittens should receive their mother’s milk for at least 2 days, if possible. The colostrum milk gives extra nutrition and temporary immunity against some diseases. Warm reconstituted KMR to room or body temperature before serving. Feed kittens 2 tablespoons of liquid KMR per 4 oz of body weight daily. The daily feeding amount should be divided into equal portions for each feeding. Kittens' needs will vary and this amount may have to be increased or decreased, depending on the individual. Young and/or weak kittens should be fed every 3 to 4 hours. Older kittens can do well being fed every 8 hours. Weigh the kittens daily to assure adequate feeding. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice. When kittens are old enough to lap, begin offering reconstituted KMR in a saucer. During the 6th week mix reconstituted KMR with KMR 2nd Step Kitten Weaning Food. Use of the KMR and 2nd Step will allow the kitten to be gradually switched to solid food.
Pregnant and lactating queens: Feed 2 teaspoons of KMR powder per 5 lbs of body weight daily.
Growing kittens already on solid food, show cats and/or convalescing cats: Feed 1 teaspoon of KMR powder per 5 lbs of body weight daily by top dressing food.
Unopened powder should be kept in a cool, dry place. Reconstituted KMR must be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Opened powder can be refrigerated for up to 3 months, or can be frozen for up to 6 months to preserve freshness.

Recently one of our semi-feral outdoor cats had a litter of 3 kittens. Brought them all inside since weather was getting cold. But the mom wouldn’t nurse her kittens so I purchased KMR. The kittens took to it immediately and have more than doubled in size over the last two weeks. It’s easy to mix for every feeding and I feel confident the kittens are getting such a healthy start! Would highly recommend for fostering of kittens!

This product has always been the brand I buy for kittens that need bottle feeding. But I also continue to give them the powder, mixed in with their wet food, until they are at least 8 weeks. That way they get the special nutrients they need. And I have never had a kitten refuse it. As a kitten Foster I go through quite a bit of both the liquid and the powder versions and my vet agrees it is a great food for them.

Bought this for my fosters :Mama and 7 babies. Didn't work so well for the smallest kitten that required supplement but it is great for Mama Queen and weaning process. Mama gets this 3 times a day and for babies I mix a little rice formula into the bowl and they lap it up!!!

Sadly, sometimes a kitten gets "left behind" or can't get enough milk from mom... KMR offers the best help for these little ones. It's definitely time-consuming and it's not easy, but it's worth the effort to save a little one that wouldn't make it otherwise. If you don't know how to make it work, you can always contact a local rescue or shelter... most will be happy to help you.

When u have to raise a litter of kittens from birth, u need a large container. Most stores sell tiny cans enough for a day or 2 for a inflated price.. This is a great value AND its not a 1 to 1 ratio like some others.. Love this container, just wish I had found it earlier. Would have saved time and money.

From bottle feeding to weaning this is a great product and much better price than premixed when dealing with large numbers. Don’t forget it does expire as well though!

Recently my feral queen brought me 4 orphaned kittens from another mother. Over the course of 24 hours, I had 4 three week old kittens who were scared, tired, cold and hungry! I picked up a can of this formula locally for twice the price of Chewy's. With a nursing kit and spare bottles. (Hey, it was an emergency.) This provides the necessary nutrition, is easy to mix and, once the babies got used to the bottle, was voraciously devoured. So happy to find this on Chewy for a really good price and have it delivered right before the first can ran out.

we feed feral kittens and moms, well into adulthood. They love this milk and they drink it even as adults. Sure wish Chewy carried the 5 LB bags.

My headline for the liquid formula was "The Good Stuff" but this is better. My kitten started off on this and sucks it down fast but does not like the canned kind. Mixes well with warm water. I did not have a problem making this ahead of time until half way through when it started turning gooey weather it was in the fridge or sitting out. Now I just make it when needed. If your going to start with this you will probably have to stick with it. The canned kind is a different color and smell so I imagine it is a different taste.
