Why kittens can't have cow's milk
Cat's milk is very different from cow's milk: it has more protein and fat and less lactose. Cow's milk doesn't meet a kitten's needs and often causes diarrhoea because of the lactose. So if a kitten has lost its mother or isn't getting enough milk, a dedicated replacer is used. More on feeding kittens by age in what to feed a kitten.

How to mix it
The manufacturer recommends mixing 1 part powder with 5 parts warm water at about 38 °C and stirring until fully dissolved. Use the measuring scoop and the instructions on the tin to get the proportions right. Test the temperature on your wrist — it should feel warm, not hot. Feed the kitten straight away and discard any leftovers.
How to bottle-feed
Feed the kitten in a natural position — lying on its tummy with its head slightly raised, not on its back like a baby. Let the kitten suckle by itself: don't squeeze the bottle, so the milk doesn't get into the airways. A dedicated bottle with a soft teat is easiest, such as the Nobleza Pet Feeding Bottle Kit. Newborn kittens are fed often, including at night, and after every feed you gently rub the tummy and the area under the tail with a damp wipe to stimulate urination and defecation.
How to tell a kitten is getting enough
The key sign is daily weight gain. Weigh the kitten at the same time each day on kitchen scales and note the result. A well-fed kitten sleeps calmly; a hungry one cries and searches for the teat. If a kitten isn't gaining, is lethargic or has diarrhoea or bloating, see a vet urgently — newborns can deteriorate quickly.
Moving on to solid food
From about 3–4 weeks, kittens are introduced to softened kitten food while milk is gradually reduced. On kitten foods and timing, see what to feed a kitten and puppy and kitten vaccinations: why and when. Foods for this age are in the kitten food section.
Storage
Store the tin tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 weeks of opening. Mix milk for one feed at a time, as it spoils quickly. Wash the bottle and teat after every feed.
Compared with other replacers
We also stock Beaphar Lactol Kitty Milk. When choosing, follow your vet's advice and how well the kitten tolerates the formula: if all is well, don't switch replacers without good reason.
Verdict
AnimAll VetLine Kitten Milk PRO is a powdered milk replacer for kittens with taurine, prebiotics, lactulose and lecithin: energy-dense, quick to dissolve and suitable for orphaned kittens, those separated from their mother and poor eaters. The downside is that the site has no full ingredient list or feeding table, so check volumes and frequency on the tin and with your vet.
