Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer for Kittens

Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk is a premium, complete milk replacer specifically formulated for orphaned kittens, those not weaning well, or as a nutritional boost for pregnant and lactating queens. Trusted by breeders and rescue centres for over 100 years, this formula has been updated with DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which is naturally present in a mother cat's milk to aid the development of cognitive function and vision. Made from easily digestible whey proteins, it closely mimics the natural nutritional profile of queen's milk to ensure the best start in life.

Shop Floor Advice from the Team Lactol is the "gold standard" when it comes to hand-rearing. If you are looking after orphans, consistency is everything—always use a proper feeding bottle and make sure the milk is served at body temperature (about 38°C). We recommend mixing only what you need for each feed to keep it fresh, though you can keep a pre-mixed batch in the fridge for 24 hours if you’re doing middle-of-the-night feeds. For weaning kittens, try mixing a little Lactol with some kitten mousse to create a "porridge"; it makes the transition to solid food much smoother and less stressful on their tummies.
