Best Cat Milk for 2020

Finding an appropriate milk replacer for a kitten is perhaps one of the most common cat milk searches. It is vital to ensure they get the correct nutrients to help grow and build up their immune system, especially if they aren’t feeding on a mother.

This kitten milk is good for young cats aged up to 2 months. It contains all of the oils, proteins and minerals they need for physical and cognitive development, as well as taurine which they otherwise wouldn’t get until they are eating solid meat and fish.

Just mix it with boiled, cooled water and it dissolves very easily so is good to go almost immediately. With no sediment, it is safe and easily digestible.

Containing less than 0.2% lactose to ensure it is safe for cat consumption, this Whiskas formula is perhaps the best-seller when it comes to cat milk.

With balanced mineral ingredients, it contains all of the calcium, fibre and protein they need for a boost, and it is free from any artificial additions.

You should limit consumption to around one bottle per week, and adjust the main meal and treats accordingly. It can be fed to cats over the age of six weeks, so is also great if you need to still slowly wean them off milk.

While this powder is primarily designed with kittens in mind, it is also suitable for adult cats or those who are nursing, when extra nutrition is needed.

The texture closely resembles natural queen’s milk, and it contains DHA for brain development as well as taurine for a healthy heart and vision and biotin for healthy hair and skin.

Just mix around 100ml with seven scoops of milk. This means a tub should last for just over a week if it is a daily food source.

This is one of the more affordable ready-made milk options, suitable for cats over six weeks old. The price could really appeal to anybody who knows that the milk will actually be a vital part of their cat’s diet as opposed to an occasional treat, especially when bought in bulk.

It contains good levels of everything the cat will need, with enough room to still provide them with a relatively regular diet and treats. Each bottle is sealed with foil and includes a lid so it can be stored for a few days safely if you are limiting intake.

It has quite a thick consistency too, which should appeal to cats as they are naturally drawn to creamier milk for the fat content. Other users say it is also easy to slightly warm, in case your cat prefers it this way.

Rather than possibly being a diet staple, these little sachets are for any owner who wants to provide their cats with milk purely as a treat, snack or behaviour reward.

The soft creamy texture is appealing to cats, and each sachet contains just enough for one serving so you don’t have to adjust their ordinary diet too much.

They can be given to adult cats over one year old, and many other users have also said that it is the only way they can get their cat to take medication, so could be good if they are usually crafty enough to detect it in water or food.

This is low-fat reduced lactose cow’s milk, with the addition of taurine and natural prebiotic to help develop healthy immune systems and hearts.

It is good for cats of any age above the kitten stage. You can feed it to your cat as often as you like, but treats should not make up more than 10% of a diet so always keep everything else balanced and in check.

This milk isn’t suitable for kittens, but for adult cats, the texture is easily digestible.

A food supplement for adult cats, these little individual servings can all be given as a snack, over food or in water, for when they need a boost in health and nutrients.

This is a mixed selection pack, with sachets to help with taurine, vitamin D and E consumption, zinc or malt. These can assist with a range of issues, from ‘Beauty’ (fur health) to ‘Harmony’ (happiness). Each nutrient is available to buy in a box of its own, however, in case there is one particular issue which needs tackling.

As it can be placed over food, it could be good if you need to give your cat medication mixed in. Portion sizes are kept small so they can generally eat and drink as normal on top of this, and one pot per day is a good guideline.

This milk is perfect for rearing kittens from birth, but can also be given to cats of all ages.

It contains nutrients which help digestive health, coat condition and natural defences, ensuring they are as strong as possible for that next stage in life. With added taurine, there is everything they need until they begin weaning too, to ensure a strong heart and sight.

A complete milk replacement which has been created specifically with orphans or those who aren’t feeding well in mind.

There are all of the vitamins, nutrients and minerals included which are necessary, as well as taurine which is essential for growth and development at such a young age.

Easy to make up, it can be gently warmed and is a generous size so should last for quite a few uses.

For cats older than six weeks, this milk is ready made and the perfect treat for your feline.

It is slightly thicker than some rivals such as Whiskas, which could appeal if your pet seems to prefer this over a more watery consistency.

Price-wise, it is a bit more expensive than some others on the market per bottle, but if an occasional treat and your cat likes it, then it is worth that little bit extra.
