Hand Rearing Essentials

Nurturing Your Tiny Furball with Kitten Feeding Bottle  

When kittens need a little extra help - whether they’re orphaned, mother-cat-incapacitated, or simply require supplemental feeding, having the right kitten feeding bottle at hand becomes a lifeline. At Cat Shop Online, we understand how precious each sup is, which is why our kitten bottle and kitten milk bottle collection is designed for comfort, safety, and paw-fect feeding.

Why Good Bottles Matter for Hand-Raising

Kittens under four weeks need feeding every 2-4 hours. Using a properly sized kitten feeding bottle or tube ensures controlled flow to prevent aspiration, a critical safety feature highlighted by kitten care experts (some of them recommend slow-drip nipples with the right opening). It is important to feed them in the right "belly-down" position, not on their backs, to keep them safe.

Our Top Picks for Kitten Bottle Essentials

• Wide-Neck Kitten Milk Bottle - It has a soft rubber nipple that feels like a mother's nipple, so the baby can latch on and control the flow of milk.

• Mini Slow-Flow Kitten Bottle - Made for kittens with tiny mouths and wobbly tongues.

• Rewarmable Kitten Feeding Bottle - Keeps milk at a nice 38 to 40 °C, which is great for cuddling with a newborn.

• Complete Kitten Bottle Kit - Includes extras like cleaning brushes, bottles, and nipples, everything you need in one tender package.

We also have other hand-rearing essentials like syringes and feeding tubes to make feeding simple.

Best Practice Tips for Bottle Feeding

• Use kitten-specific formula, not cow’s milk. Kittens need a balanced diet to grow up healthy and strong.

• Warm, steady feedings: Test temperatures with a drop on your wrist, warm but not hot.

• Be careful with how much you feed them, because too much can make them uncomfortable or cause them to choke. Use charts to help you feed your baby.

• Clean and sterilise equipment after each use to keep tiny tummies safe.

• Weigh your kittens every day. If they gain weight steadily, everything is going well.
