Wombaroo Cat Milk Replacer

1. Product Overview

Wombaroo Cat Milk Replacer

 is a nutritionally balanced milk substitute formulated to closely mimic the natural composition of a queen's (mother cat's) milk. It is primarily designed for orphaned or early-weaned kittens, as well as a supplement for pregnant or recovering adult cats.

2. Key Benefits

• Biological Match: Formulated to match the protein and fat ratios found in natural cat milk.
• High Protein Content: Contains 43% protein, including 50% whey protein for superior digestibility.
• Essential Taurine: Elevated levels to support vision, heart, and brain development.
• Digestive Safety: Low lactose levels to reduce the risk of digestive upset or diarrhoea.

3. Mixing Instructions

• Mixing Ratio: To make 30mL of milk, mix one level scoop (6.5g) of powder with 25mL of warm water.
• Preparation: Use pre-boiled water to ensure sterility. Mix the powder with half the water first to form a smooth paste, then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
• Temperature: Warm to approximately 35°C–37°C before feeding.
