"Our kitten was about a week or so younger than my baby. Got goats milk to tie her over til my order came. This milk replacer is amazing. Little Bear Cub went from 7.2 oz to 16 oz in three weeks! Just amazing. Took her to the vets today, and she is right on track for growth and size! Very healthy kit..."
