Hi. About 3 weeks ago found and rescued a 2 week old kitten. She is very healthy and happy however she is not at all interested in eating from a saucer rather than her bottle. Any advice on how to get this kitten to eat would be greatly appreciated. We have been using KMR.

You can mix the KMR with some wet food and make a soupy mix. To get the kitten interested, just dab a little on her nose and mouth. Once they lick it off and taste it, they will usually give it a try. If she doesnt try it right away, just keep working with her, she will get the hang of it. Once she's got the hang of the semi solids, you can try mixing in some royal Canin Baby Cat a little at a time to get her used to the crunchy food.
