I'm impressed with how calmly your kittens take the bottle. it's like a wrestling match with my 4 week old.

From now on when I bottle feed slurry, I'm gonna chant "Meat bottle, meat bottle, meat bottle."

Helped feed a litter of kittens that my parents are raising up today. One of them spent as much time chewing on my finger as eating from the bottle. Dang thing just couldn't decide which tasted better.

Also don't panic about their poo during the weaning stages. It can change a little from when they were on formula to when they start slurry formula all the way to full soft kitten food. If they get an upset stomach (diarrhea or vomiting) then maybe slow the weaning down to extend whatever stage they're at till they adjust. Fostering kittens is just so rewarding when they thrive & go to good homes (plus all the purrs...)

I can watch those kittens forever can you do like a 15 minute video or longer of the kittens playing? They are too cute!

Or sometimes you get a kitten who is food-motivated enough to eat her mom's kibble at 4 1/2 weeks old... (She was literally standing IN the plate we'd put down for the momcat.)

Thank you so much. I don’t think I could have done this without you. I’m crying right now because all of my kittens are so healthy because of you. They are three weeks and three days and I’ve bottle fed them since they were 24 hours old. They’re 4 healthy boys, thank you so much Kitten Lady. My boys and I love you, and you have inspired me to be able to do this again, and again. You are a true hero. Much love. 🐱💕

(I don't have any kittens) Me: "I should watch this juuuuust in case."

Your videos have literally been lifesaving for our kitten. Born in our driveway, then abandoned by his mom, he survived overnight in 60 degree weather and foxes that roam our area. We've watched and learned from many of your videos and now he is turning five weeks old and starting the weaning process. After his rough start and numerous Vet visits to combat bowel infection, we named him Houdini. Thanks so much.

Very informative video and the kittens are too adorable! P.S.- I love your kitten dress!

Hi! Please know that I have been following your step by step videos since July 15 when my husband and I rescued a kitten with the umbilical cord still apparent. Without you, I don’t think Tigerito would have survived. I’m getting ready for weaning in a few days. You have given me confidence and direction. I owe my little kittens life to you and will be eternally grateful for sharing your knowledge.

We have adopted two kittens that were abandoned at birth. They were still wet when we found them. No, mom was not coming back. We intervened when it was apparent that the kittens were failing. I just wanted to share that I am so thankful to have found the Kitten Lady. Thanks for helping our babies prosper. Our vet was actually impressed and that is not normal. LOL

Holy cow, Bearclaw got big!

I want to be just like you when I grow up I LOVE kittens/cats and I'd love to foster them and see them grow a little bit and have someone adopt them plus I'd get to have new kittens ALL the time

Thank you 🙏❤️I found a box of kitten thrown on the side of the road and I saved them. They were probably about three week old. It’s Been hard work but well worth it for these precious babies your video has helped so much🥰✨I am starting the weaning process as I speak🥰❤️

i don't even have kittens.. why am i here?

THANK YOU so much for all the informative videos! We just found a tiny kitten that was dumped out of a car in a shoe box :( she is safe now with us, I have honestly never seen or held a kitten that small (we think is about three weeks old) no idea what to do, but know thanks to your videos and information from other rescues online, we will try to get her happy, healthy, and in a forever home. Your message is inspiring thank you for all the work you do saving lives!

I love when after a cat eats how they lick there lips it's so adorable

Thank you so much for all the help. It's been a really scary experience raising my first neonate and I had to go off the book a bit. My little girl refused outright to eat with a bottle, she would only do the syringe, so I had to do a lot of small feedings a day and it's been exhausting. She's finally eating well. I've been so scared and anxious and I cried holding my little girl yesterday cause she just... helped me forget my depression, even for a little bit. And to see her flourishing from when I got her when she was so tiny... Just. I don't think I could have done it without your easy to understand and incredibly informative videos. Thank you thank you thank you

I found a kitten last week that was about 4 weeks old. I have watched so many of these videos and they are so informative. My little guy is now litter box trained thanks to you. I was so worried how I was going to wean him and now I feel confident I can do this.

I love Jelly. She's so sweet.

Perfect timing! I'm trying to wean my ~4 week old now and didn't think to do a slurry bottle first. Thanks!

You have been a massive help. I rescued a kitten who was 3 days old. And without your videos I wouldn’t of got through the whole thing. Your an inspiration and you have helped me out so much! I don’t watch any other videos but yours! So thank you without you I don’t think my Martha would of survived. :)

You're my new superhero Kitten Lady! You're videos are so informative and easy to follow and you do such tremendously good job with the kittens.. really inspiring ❤️

Thank you for making this video! One of our ferals that we brought in @ about 10 months got pregnant right before we brought them in. Everyone, as of tonight, is weaned, but one. Three of them started eating Momma's wet food w/ her in the crate (XL dog crate), about a week ago. Another that I think is the runt, Brice, she was still nursing, but would eat straight meat like chicken breast, fish & tuna. But, she wouldn't eat wet kitten food. Tonight, I noticed she's eating from the bowl, woohoo! Blossom, the first born, was born in the litterbox because we dk Turtle was even pregnant. She might have been the first born, but she's the most stubborn. She refuses to do nothing but nurse @ 11 weeks. Now, Turtle won't feed her @ all. Like I said, thank you so much! I was in need of some answers very quick!

2 questions!! 1) When should you transition them to dry food and how? 2) Can you make a video about how to tell the age of a kitten?

I cannot tell you how helpful these videos have been. I have never raised an orphaned kitten before and every single step of the way, your videos helped me raise our little guy. Thank you so so much for posting these videos! You are amazing and such a huge help to all the newbies out there

The blender bottle idea has been a lifesaver. Thank you! Your videos have been my lifeline, thank you for putting this info out.

“Are you a predator?” 3:50 : “yes meowmy” 🥰🥰

Thank you for this incredible tutorial. It worked. Two of my most stubborn kitties are starting to eat food. And it's only been 3 days. Thank you Soo much😄😄😄

Thank you so much for all of your videos! I've watched several of them while raising the two kittens I've had since they were about 3 weeks old. You've been so helpful!

My kitten is a newborn I learnt how to feed my kitten by watching your videos.thanks!

thank you for this video! it has been the most helpful of all the weaning info I have been wading through! it has been so frustrating trying to find a way to get my foster to eat from a dish(this is my first time, and he was 2 days old when I got him[he is now 4 weeks]) and no information I could find addressed the issue. I thought I was the only one having a problem. thank you thank you thank you!

Love how their lil paws raise up to touch the bottle while feeding 😭😭❤

Thank you for your videos. I've been taking care of feral cats in my neighborhood. Long story but your videos have helped a million with a litter that the mother abandoned. First group of bottled feed kittens.

Your videos are amazing! I have never liked cars but we found two very loud and hungry kittens without their mum in our shed. Your videos have helped so much and I’ve become a cat lover!

How often should I feed them? My kittens are almost 6 weeks old, still have their mom. I didn’t realize I was supposed to mix the wet food with a liquid but 2/3 have been eating it. They do still eat from momma too. I’ve only been giving it to them once a day. Love your videos! Thank you!!

Just wanted you to know you've helped so much. 13 days ago I was in car pick up line at my son's school and it was 90° here. As I pulled off I saw what looked like a paralysed rat on the asphalt. It meowed. I jumped out and put her in the car (son held her) she was burned, dehydrated, burned and wouldn't have made it another 10 minutes if she didn't get ran over. We finally got her stabilized. I went and bought kitten formula. She looked to be maybe 6-9 days old. One eye barely open. She was a mess. I looked up kitten videos and you popped up. It's bc of you that I knew how to bottle feed her. I also ordered miracle nipple at your suggestion. Heating pad,pur comfort cat etc. I watched a few videos to see what to do. She's the smallest kitten I've raised. I have 5 other cats. We're also keeping her. She's doing so well. I wish I could show you pictures then and now. Her progression daily is on FB And.ig. @ssmithtiffany2008 if you want to look from the day we found her up until today. Her name is Mira. Pronounced M-EE-RA. Short for "miracle*. Also means *admirable*. She's one determined kitten. I did go back to look for her mom,no luck. I donated to your place. Thanks for all you do. 😻🐆🐈🐾🧡

As a new kitten mom ( our kitten was abandoned by the mom cause she was a runt at just over 2 weeks old) we have been learning as we go with bottle feeding and getting her to potty and just trying to get her used to being indoors and held. Now she is finally at 4.5 weeks and have been trying to figure out the weaning process. This video was a life saver thank you!

This was both informative and very adorable. I'm looking after my own little orphan and she's just almost 3 weeks old.

I have a kitten at 8 weeks who has not been weaned (I just got her yesterday) Will this affect her developing or cause illness? I'm really worried for her because she is extremely small for an 8 week kitten. I took her to the vet the day I got her and they told me she was malnourished and had not been weaned, should I wean her the same way off of the formula she had been drinking and kitten food or should I do it differently becuase she's older Update: I tried to get her drinking slurrie but she puked after she drank it and I tried with a different kitten food but again she threw up again so I took her to the vet and she had a multiple parasites and is now being monitered there, Pray for little Layla ♥️

I have some left over slurry that my little guy didn't eat, do you think it would be ok in the fridge until his next feeding? Also, is heating it up a bad idea? Thanks so much!! Btw your vids are incredibly helpful and I'm glad you've dedicated your time to these amazing little creatures. :)

Your videos are helping me get through the foster process! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Your video was so helpful. I've fostered neonatal kittens for a little over a year and have struggled with the weaning process and your method was so easy on both the kitten and me ;-)

"I am a tiny predator"💜

You helped me so much with my kittens Marshmallow and Popcorn!

Thank you Kitten Lady ... your videos have helped me raise my little munchkins. I started with a litter of 5, day-old abandoned kittens and now i have three very happy healthy 5 week old kittens :) They went cray cray when they had their first meat bottle and as they were getting frustrated with the meat blocking the nipple all the time I actually got them eating off a plate within a couple of feeds. And oh my the mess they make lol ... I have one that tries to lie in it to block her siblings

I love you so much! I found an abandoned kitten 2 weeks ago and your videos have been helping me raise her. She is a weakling, probably that's why left behind by the mom, but very playful. She's about to enter her week 4 in a couple of days. Will follow your guide to wean her. Thanks much! Xoxo..

We have been feeding our 6 week old kittens wet, soft CAT food....... I don’t know if they are old enough. We don’t feed them formula or anything. we took two kittens away from there momma at about 6 weeks, and my grandma feeds all her cats hard food in the morning and half of soft cat food and leftovers from supper at night, and the kittens eat that....... plz tell me if it is too early to feed them soft cat food😬

Too bad there is no way of knowing why there are 15 thumb downs. Are those thumbing down the ones that are crazy animal lovers?

I love that you do this for a living,you are saving lives. I’m only ten but I love animals and you are one of my role models

Your videos are the best! They’ve really came in handy with my newborn orphan kitty. Idk what I wouldve done without them! Thank you!!

love jelly she so cute

I have two four week old kittens that I am fostering, I am giving them canned food but it is not the specific kitten food is that okay that its not the specific kitten labeled can?

My former foster bottle babies just got adopted today!! this video helped me so much during their weaning week and a half. it's so bittersweet I'm elated they have good homes but I miss them so much

i learned a lot from you i’m really grateful for every single video i watched now i go back to this channel whenever i need to know something about taking care of kittens and i know that i’ll find it

How much meals do you give them a day??

How to wear kittens? wait... Nvm.

On Tuesday, the maintenance guys at my work found an abandoned kitten out back but the customer pick up area, under a pile of skids. I took her home as soon as I could. She seemed about 3-4 weeks of age but very underweight and the bottle and syringe wasnt doing anything. Vet said to start trying wet food and shes got so much stronger and healthier since! Little Luna is what brought me to your videos. And let me tell you what, you are NOT wrong about them being messy 😂.

Thanks for this instructional video. It has helped me to wean my very FIRST bottle-fed foster kitten. 😺

How do cat mothers wean their kittens? They cant make slurpee (is that how you spell it?) so what do they do?

My friend found this kitten on a rainy night so he took her and then contacted me asking if I wanted her, I am an animal lover and I'll do anything to save a life so I took her, her name is Lilith she's only 3 almost 4 weeks old and I need to take her to the vet but I'm currently unemployed so I don't have the extra money to pay for vet bills so I finally decided to make a go fund me for Lilith in hopes that there's people out there who would want to help save a life, so far nobody has donated which breaks my heart because I'm doing everything I can to try to get money put together for her vet bill, I'm selling stuff of Craigslist and nobody has contacted me. This is truly my last hope for this kitten. If you can please donate, help save this little baby's life. www.gofundme.com/HelpLilithLive

We adopted a mama cat that was pregnant and now has 4 kittens this is my 1st time and your video is amazing and helpful and you yourself are beautiful thank you

You’re teaching me soooo much! A cat just had 5 kittens under my house. Wev had to step In and wel be getting them all fixed and theyll be very loved and cared for!

This video truly helped in getting to wean my baby kitten, Saturn, after 4 months of trying. I'm a first time kitten mom and he was the youngest born out of his litter. Patience was key here but this tutorial really helped. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! I have adopted a mother cat who had kittens 7 weeks ago and one kitten of the four just wasn't eating any solid food and though he had always been the second heaviest, had lost second place to one of the female kittens. I helped him out with finger food and then he graduated to eating from the plate and all is well!

Fantastic. My kittens are 31/2 weeks old and now I can make a slurry bottle instead of the messy slurry on their own. Thank you!

I really appreciate your videos. This is my second orphaned kitten I have rescued, both by accident. The first one I adopted after and have had her, Cassidy, for two years now. This one, Stormy, my parents have expressed interest in. I'm still bottle feeding her for now.

Every thing went just as planned,thanks for the help!

Your videos are so helpful, i can't even tell you how grateful i am for all the information you teach. i´m currently taking care of four orphan kitten and you and me save their life haha

I just started my 4 week old orphan on a meat bottle today after watching this video. Boy, was it popular! I got the biggest air biscuits 😻Thank you for your tips and videos. You’ve helped me and my little guy immensely!!

I wish someone had such a good channel as you for puppies, lol your content is much better than most other people’s

Thank you so so much! This is honestly the best and easiest weaning video I could find! I love your videos. Also, I just got 2 orphaned kittens and their 4 weeks old.

about to get my first kitten in few days. 😃 thanks for your awesome videos, I'll keep her/him very happy.

Thank you for this! It was so helpful, I've been having a hard time trying to wean my kitten Nugget, I'm new to this so this will come in handy when trying to feed her!

Loved the advise, the kittens, and you ! subscribed !

Thank you so much for this video. This is my first time fostering and I was given bottlefeed babies and with the tips that I was given from this video I finally transitioned them to eating canned food

Thank you for the guide…..very helpful as I’m learning along with my new 4 week old kitten

This videos are so informative. Thank you for putting this content out!

Thank you so much for being you...sharing so much knowledge. I came upon 4babies after their mom get hit by a car...I’ve been taking care of them, but it’s so hard to find a place that I can foster through...I don’t mind loving these babes, but financially is becoming hard.i already have 3 cats and a dog of my own. I need to learn about weaning them...

Thanks for the video! Very helpful. We just rescued a mommy cat and her babies and we're about to start weaning them. ☺👍🌷 love how you enjoy them😍

I admire you!! Your video are so helpful! Thank you for sharing ❤️ Love from Italy 🇮🇹

Thank you so much 🥺💕my 3 week old kitten is now eating from the saucer with his kitten meal and a little bit of cat food (very soft) with a dash of kitten milk your the best!

We have 2 kittens - 3.5 weeks old. Bottle feeding is going great now. Next step is transitioning them but they are definitely younger than the ones in this video. The wet kitten food will help greatly plus putting it in a bottle with formula. We were advised to mash down dry food and mix with formula/water and leave the bowl of ‘gruel’ in the basket with them. Great video

Very informative video and the kittens are too adorable! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your videos are awesome and your foster kittens are so cute I want to cry.

You're amazing! Using your vid to care for an abandoned kitten. Not quite up to the "slurry" stage but we're preparing so when it's time, we'd know what to do. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for these educational videos. Really learning a lot.

I just wanted to say thank you!!! Without the help of your videos idk where my kitties would be in their growth. Momma left them for dead after birth so I've been their bottle since day one and your videos have gotten me to where we are today. They will be 4 weeks in 2 days and we just got a play pen so they have some more room to roam, liter train, and start weaning!! Again thank you so much, you are awesome!!

Thank you for your video guide. My little Simba is eating slurry for the first time on his dish just now, i think 2 more days he can move to stage 3. So happy that he is making progress now.

This has been so incredibly helpful!! Thank you!

Thx so much! We have a kitty Minerva and she hated meat and she only drank the kitten milk.... now thanks to you she is eating the “hard” food with such joy! THX soo much!💕🐈🍼🥩

Thanks for the transitioning from bottle to dish!

This was so helpful! I have 5-week old kittens and one of them refuses to eat wet food. I never thought to put the wet food mix in the bottle! Will try this out.

Whaa-boom! I found one of those springy wire balls two years ago in a park, and I kept it because is was cool but I didn't know what the heck it was. Now I know. What a weight off my shoulders! Thanks Kitten Lady!

I am fostering four 4-and-a-half week old kittens. I had to return their mom to the shelter today because she's very sick. So now, I am the cat mom. I have been supplement feeding the babies and adding slurry for about 4 days. Yes, I was doing it correctly. Now without mom, I have moved to the slurry bowl and will still feed them formula from a bottle to ensure they continue to gain weight.. Thank you, Kitten Lady. This is the re-inforcement I need.

This vid is amazing, I got a 4-week old kitten that was dumped in my garden. I and the wife have tried to give meat but the kitten isn't having none of it so we are giving it a bottle. We were worried that we were doing things wrong by giving the bottle and not insisting the kitten go on meat as this is the first time we have done this. I will deffo try the slurry mix after a quick vet trip to ensure that kitten is at a good weight and healthy. thank you for the vid

I have raised several litters of orphaned kittens. I've found that chicken baby food works well as a transition during weaning. Once they are about 3.5-4.0 weeks I'll start offering them some on a spoon at meal time. Once the accept the food on a spoon it winds up being a very quick transition to eating on their own out of a dish. With the litter I'm raising right now I'm using small dishes about 3" in diameter rather than using a bigger dish. I've found this helps keep them cleaner because they can't crawl inside the dish. It also allows me to separate them so one doesn't try to hog the food.

I understand now. The vet told me to introduce wet food when she is 3 weeks, but she isn’t interested yet. So I’ll wait till she’s 4 weeks and start with the bottle. I started with the bowl. Thanks for your video. It helped a lot

You are awesome Kitten Lady!
