Things You'll Need
- Formula
- Kitten food
- Bowl
- Towel or newspaper (optional)
Instructions
Place a small amount of formula into a food or saucer. Don't use too much. In the beginning, you're just giving the kitten a small taste and introducing it to the act of lapping up food.
Touch a few drops of formula to the kitten's nose or mouth to entice it into eating. Do this once or twice a day while continuing to bottle-feed the formula.
Add a small amount of solid food to the formula after two or three days have passed. Mix it with the formula until it resembles a runny gruel.
Increase the ratio of solid food to formula until the kitten is eating mostly solid food. This process should take between two and six weeks, depending on the needs of your kitten.
