Ingredients

2 cups whole cow's milk

2 large eggs

4 teaspoons protein powder

2 teaspoons nutritional yeast

1/3 teaspoon bonemeal or 1/8 teaspoon eggshell powder or 220 milligrams calcium

1-2 days' worth of balanced cat vitamins (adult dosage)

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a 1 quart bowl.

Beat lightly until the eggs are well-distributed.

Put into a saucepan and heat slowly to 98-degrees F. It should be warm, not hot.

Give each kitten just enough to enlarge the belly slightly, without distending it, using a doll bottle or pet nurser.

Feed according to the schedule below.

Begin to introduce solids (high-quality canned food or home recipe for cats) at 3 to 4 weeks. Mix it with the formula to make a thin mush.

Weaning can begin at 4 to 6 weeks.

Feeding Schedule:

Age Feeding Frequency

0 to 2 weeks every 2 hrs (total of 2-4 tbs per day)

3 weeks every 3 hrs (total of 4-6 tbs per day)

4 to 5 weeks every 4 hrs (total of 6-10 tbs per day)

6 weeks 3 times a day (total of 8-12 tbs per day)

Many many times in the past I've wished I had a really good recipe for kitten formula - I don't have cats now, but so glad it's out there! Thanks for a great post!
