The scientific premise behind Cat Kittystim is an appreciation of colostrum's crucial role during a kitten's early life stages. Kittens, like many newborn mammals, are born with an underdeveloped immune system. The antibodies present in colostrum form a protective shield against a myriad of diseases, allowing the immune system to mature safely. The next thing to do is read about labour and kitten delivery so you are as prepared as possible for what might come next. Here is a good place to start: Cat birth what is normal and when to worry

I have to agree with Tigermoon...OP, I realise you're anxious about the kittens and, as a breeder, I do recognise that feeling. But you really are over thinking things and that, ironically, in conjunction with a strong desire to do all you can to prevent problems, is actually far more likely to cause harm. Kittystim is a supplement intended to nourish newborn kittens with the vital nutrients necessary for their healthy growth and development. The central element of Kittystim is colostrum, a substance that greatly contributes to the overall health and growth of kittens in their early days.Please note that parcels weighing over 2kg may be sent via courier due to Royal Mail weight restrictions. Includes special plant extracts of Guarana and Kola to promote early physical activity and overall well-being. Contains vitamins and essential iron minerals to improve the nutritional condition of puppies and to support their natural resistance to disease and stress.

There is no such product as 'colostrum' for kittens. Anything labelled as such is simply an over priced concoction of glucose and vitamins and it's completely unnecessary. In the very unlikely event the kittens should need glucose, powdered or liquid glucose in a tiny amount from a cotton bud placed on the gums will do exactly the same thing. Contains probiotic lactic acid bacteria for a healthy gut and to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Administration

Get your birthing kit ready. Every breeder has a birthing kit that they have developed over years of breeding experience. Here is what is in mine: 1. Royal Canin Babycat Milk. If kittens are rejected by their mother for any reason, or if the queen is unable to feed her kittens, you may need to hand feed them. Colostrum, also known as 'first milk,' is a potent source of antibodies (immunoglobulins) and growth factors. It plays a fundamental role in establishing a strong immune system, safeguarding against diseases, and stimulating growth and tissue repair in kittens. Kittystim for Cats efficiently delivers these essential benefits by incorporating colostrum in its formulation.
