Kitten

Do you think your orphaned kittens are ready for solid foods, but aren’t sure how to make the switch?

Orphaned kittens transition from formula to solid foods at about 3-4 weeks of age as their teeth start to come in. This change of diet can create a big mess for you, and tummy troubles for them.

In this video, caregivers are walked through the process of weaning, including:

  • Food selection and preparation
  • Best bowls for weaning
  • Syringe feeding to get them started
  • How to monitor how a kitten is handling the switch
  • Use of probiotics
  • And more!

Bonus: Once the weaning process is completed, the foster caregiver gets to sleep through the night again.

Watch our educational video below, then share it with your foster caregivers!
