ORPHANED KITTENS:
If possible, kittens should nurse from their mother for the first 2 days of their lives to receive nutrient rich colostrum. Mother's colostrum provides temporary protection from numerous diseases and contains growth factors believed to stimulate protein synthesis, improve fat utilization, and promote cell growth. It is extremely important to weigh kittens frequently (every day) to insure they are receiving adequate amounts of supplement. If a kitten loses weight after 48 hours, consult your veterinarian. Feed weak or small kittens every 4 hours; feed at 8 hour intervals if strong and active. Kittens' needs will vary and the time and amount may have to be increased or decreased, depending on the breed, growth rate and activity of the kitten. Make water readily available after kittens are 2 weeks of age. Orphan kittens must be kept warm for proper digestion to occur. Also, use a warm, moist washcloth and gently wipe the kitten's bottom until it wets and has a bowel movement, several times daily, to imitate a mother's care. This is required for young kitten survival.
WEANING KITTENS:
Healthy kittens may be weaned when they are about 25 days old or when they can lap formula from a bowl. At this age, blend a high quality dry kitten food with warm Just Born ® ready-to-use liquid formula to make a paste. Feed the mixture 3-4 times a day for the first week. Each week, increase the amount of dry food in the mixture so that after 6-7 weeks the kitten is fully on dry food.
PREGNANT AND LACTATING QUEENS:
Mix 1 tablespoon of Just Born Milk Replacer per 5 pounds of body weight into the pregnant queen's daily ration. Continue until the kittens are weaned.
SUPPLEMENTATION:
If a supplement is desired for a growing kitten, show cat, large litter, geriatric or convalescing cat, simply mix 1 tablespoon per 5 pounds of body weight into the cat's daily ration of food.
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND USE:
Weigh the kitten. Feed at least 1/2 oz. of Just Born for every 2 ounces of body weight, daily. Kittens should be allowed to consume as much formula as they want. Shake well before using.

After feeding, hold the kitten's head on your shoulder and rub his back gently until he burps. Make water readily available after kittens are 2 weeks of age. Farnam water bottles are recommended.
