Investigating the best formula may take a plenty of time so I decided to collect the best recipes. All you have to do is to bookmark this page or print the recipes!
So it is of great importance to have a couple of formula recipes written down. That’s how you can prepare the food quickly and feed your baby cat in just 3-5 minutes (if you have all the ingredients ready ofcourse).

Although the ingredients may vary, there are several key nutritional factors for a milk replacer.
For every 100 g of milk replacer fed, there should be:
- 79 g moisture

- 7.5 g crude protein
- 8.5 g fat
- 4 g lactose
