Mixing steps
Measure out 1 level scoop of milk replacer and mix with 2 scoops (30 ml) of warm water (60°C).
Mix well for 30 seconds or until well incorporated, using a good whisk.
Allow milk replacer to cool slightly, feeding at body temperature (38-40°C). To mix the total daily quantity, store in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a warm bain-marie.

Caring for kittens
Wash hands before handling and feeding kittens.
Generally feed 3 to 4% of body weight per meal, with 8 to 10 meals per day for the first 3 weeks (e.g. 25% of body weight over a 24-hour period at birth). The average birth weight of a kitten is 120 grams.
Frequent feeding of small quantities reduces the risk of digestive disorders.
Boil fresh water before reconstituting KittenGro. Allow time for cooling.
Reconstituted KittenGro can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
KittenGro reconstituted must be given at 38°C (body temperature). Use a thermometer.
Discard any unused portion after 24 hours.
Clean ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse with lukewarm water, wash with detergent in hot water (80°C), rinse with clean water (ideally a 10% bleach solution) and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
At 4 weeks, start teaching kittens to drink from a saucer.
Weaning can begin at 4 weeks with the introduction of wet solid food.
Give kittens fresh water from 3 weeks of age.
Continue to give milk to weak or recovering kittens until their growth rate normalizes.
