Formula for hand-raising kittens
Just in case anyone else ends up hand-raising a baby kitty I thought I
should post the recipe for the baby-kitty formula I have always used. I believe it is superior to the stuff you find at pet stores. To each 12-ounce can of unsweetened evaporated goat's milk, add one VERY well beaten egg (preferably a fertile one), a rounded tablespoon of nutritional yeast flakes and the same amount of unpasteurized yogurt, then beat this mixture with a whisk or eggbeater until it's very smooth, and then thin it with just enough water (hold the chlorine, please!) to make it the consistency of cream. They LOVE this stuff, and thrive on it. As they get older you can thin it out a little, and eventually teach them to lap it out of a dish. Start by letting them lick it off your fingers. Does anyone else have a meowbaby formula to share? |

Here's one of my fave sites on cat care with info on kitten ca http://www.maxshouse.com/kitten_care...born%20Kittens There the yolk (yolk only, not eggwhite) is cooked over steam while stirring. Not being an expert on cat nutrition, it is sometimes confusing to get one kind of info from one place and another kind from another place... -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Christine in Vantaa, Finland (Europe) Email: christal63(at)yahoo(dot)com Photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

This is for puppies and squirrels. I don't use it with squirrels but others have and their babies are fat, healthy and happy. It sounds similar to your cat recipe. 1 cup goats milk 1 raw egg yolk organic free range 1 tsp raw honey 1 tsp powdered collostrum |

Does anyone else have a meowbaby formula to share? That one sounds about the same as the one the vet gave me, except the canned goat's milk. You can't get that here.. just regular canned evaporated cows milk (ala Carnation or no-name brands) Thanks for the info, i'm sure it will be well used!

I never heard that, but if you are concerned, just use the yolk. I will
research it and post my findings too. "CK" wrote in message ... isn't raw egg white supposed to be bad for cats, destroys taurine...?? |
