Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR)

Directions for Mixing KMR^® Powder:

Gently stir or shake 1 part powdered KMR into 2 parts warm water (a part is 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. One 12 oz. (340g) can of powder makes approximately 60 oz. (1800mL) of liquid mixed 1:2. One 28 oz. (794g) can of powder makes approximately 140 oz. (4140mL) of liquid mixed 1:2.

Directions for Feeding:

All kittens should receive their mother’s milk for at least 2 days, if possible. This 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 (30mL) of liquid KMR per 4 ounces (115g) 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 3 times per week to assure adequate feeding. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice.
