Sometimes it happens that a cat is not able to feed all the kittens for various reasons.

In this article, we will tell you what can be done in this case.

What to feed a cat to produce more milk

A mother cat must receive food that ensures normal lactation.

Such foods include meat bellions, dairy products, and vegetable purees.

In addition, the cat's diet should include lean meats, liver, boiled eggs and greens.

What to do if your cat doesn't have enough milk for kittens

If the cat is not able to feed all the kittens, you should not take on this responsibility.

To feed a kitten, it is best to purchase a cat's milk replacer.

You can look for such feeding in pet stores, veterinary clinics or online stores.

Thus, kittens will receive the maximum of vitamins and beneficial microelements necessary for their growth.

The kitten should be fed the formula every 4 hours.

From the 15th day, give your little pet liquid milk porridge with an egg.

From day 22, you can offer other products. For example, beef minced through a meat grinder, baby food, low-fat cottage cheese and egg yolk.
