Cimicat Cat Milk Substitute is a clinically formulated milk replacement designed for cats of all ages and designed to enable cats, as well as kittens, to achieve smooth, glossy fur and general good health. Perfect for use as a mother's milk replacement, Cimicat is formulated to provide all the essential minerals, vitamins and trace elements to ensure adequate rearing of orphan or malnourished kittens. Blended with easy-to-digest proteins, Cimicat Cat Milk Substitute is also a rich source of energy through its fat and carbohydrates. Unlike cow's milk, Cimicat replicates the lower lactose content to perfectly simulate cat's milk.
The following recommendations are just a guide and feeding rates will depend on the weight of the kitten and other circumstances. As a general guide feed 20-25ml of mixed Cimicat liquid per day per 100g of kitten weight.
| Age | Prepared Cimicat | Feeds per day | Liquid Cimicat per feed |
| 1-3 days | 20-25ml | Every 2 hours | 2-2.5ml |
| 4-7 days | 30-35ml | 10-12 times daily | 3-3.5ml |
| 8-10 days | 35-40ml | Every 2 hours/10 times daily | 3.5-4ml |
| 11-14 days | 40-50ml | Every 3 hours | 5-6.25ml |
| 15-21 days | 50-75ml | Every 4 hours | 8.25-12.5ml |
| 21 days - 6 weeks | 50-100ml in addition to normal feed | 3-4 times daily | 12.5-25ml |
Both over and under feeding can cause serious health problems with your kitten. Kittens have small immature kidneys, which cannot cope with excessive amounts of liquid. Overfeeding can cause diarrhoea, whilst underfeeding can cause dehydration.
Boil water and allow to cool to below 40C (lukewarm/tepid). Mix at a rate of 20% dry matter, IE. 1 part powder to 2 parts water. Add a small amount of water and mix to an even paste, then add the remaining required water, stirring all the time.
1 x 10ml level scoop (5g) Cimicat powder to 20ml (20g) water.
Quantities of prepared milk can be stored in the refrigerator and used within 24 hours. Always mix thoroughly, a whisk or household blender may be useful.
When dissolving Cimicat in hot water it is normal to see the trace element particles briefly before being fully dissolved. Some of these particles may show up as blue, light green or pink-purple specks, which are completely harmless.

Easy to mix and it really helped with kittens abandoned by the mum way to early. Within a week you could see visable change in the kittens and now three weeks on they are blooming.
Fantastic palatable product

Magic !

I had a 6 week old kitten that was really too young to be away from mum. I started him on climicat immediately and gave him it 4 times a day as well as a good quality dry food. 2 weeks later and he is doing brilliantly. I've had no problems at all with his health and he continues to get bigger and stronger every day. Going to continue with the climicat for at least another month then gradually reduce. But I think I will probably still give it once a day for his lifetime as it can also be given to adult cats for extra vitamins and improves their coat. This is a brilliant product. Not sure if he would have been doing half as well as he is now without it.

My young tom cat simply refuses to eat anything other than cimicat formula.
I have tried to introduce some wet food into the formula ( mashing it to a paste) he turns his nose up every time.
Is it OK for cimicat to be his main source of nourishment at this age (6 wks approximately) and if so how long is recommended?
Thanks in advance for your help.
At 6 weeks he should be eating some soft wet food. If he is reluctant then you have to use hunger as the driving force. If you give him enough Cimicat to keep him satisfied, he will never make the transition. Cimicat is a good food, but is not adequate in itself long-term and if he has a fixation with eating just this, it is not good. You should give him Cimicat every day, but less than he wants. Offer very small amounts of other good cat foods and wait for him to start eating them. He will do better in the long-run if he goes hungry for a few days and then starts eating proper food, than if he stays on Cimicat. Do not worry about starving him, you will not. Liquidised, slightly warmed, wet food will tempt him before long.
