sound mountain tristen cat

I want to add weight to an abandoned cat that is very underweight,l also have lambs. Can I give this cat lamb milk replacer to help put weight on?

Hi, and welcome to TCS

In short, NO. Lambs and cats have hugely different dietary needs, and you risk a badly upset stomach if you feed lamb milk replacer to this cat. Kitten food would be a much better option.

Thank you so much for helping this cat :high5: The world needs more people like you :nod:

If you have access to goats milk it would be a much better bet.  If you dont have problems with salomonella in eggs in your area, so raw egg yolk mixed in with - almost anything - is a good addition.

Quality kitten  food - alike wet cat food, or even dry cat food for kittens, of good quality, are safe bets.

Some baby foods are OK, if unflavored.

Some think sheeps milk may be eaten by cats (better than cows at least!)  - so I presume lamb milk replacer could be OK - but this is sheer emergency when I dont have anything else,  nothing I would pick as my first choice...
