If it is very young and is still nursing then PLEASE DONT DO IT. The kittens will want to drink that instead and stop nursing from their mother, therefore dying from lackof nutrients. If the mother is dead, then buy a substitute. If the kittens have stopped nursing, I still wouldn't let them drink it until they are three months old because it is hard for them to digest it at such a young age. Hope this helps:)

if the mother is still around and is able to give the kittens milk then dont stop her. supplement milk is no where near as good as mother's milk. it doesnt have the nutrients the kittens need to survive and keep strong. but if you have new borns which dont have a mother or the mother is unable to provide milk then as the vet for help and supplement milk is the only answer.

What can happen to a kitten if her mother die?
Kittens' instinct are not so matured to realize that their mom died. So technically kittens don't feel anything except the nutrition of their mother's milk. However, give them milk (goat milk is the best for cats I heard) and take care of them. They will grow up healthy and strong. Usually the mother's parts are to provide milk and safety. So if you can give them both, kittens don't need their mother. And they are very playful. So play with them and enjoy.
Can kittens have 1 percent milk?
Except in the case of immediate emergency with no other option, it does more harm than good to give cows' milk to kittens. Kittens should get their mother's milk until weaning; if the queen isn't producing sufficient milk or is otherwise unable to care for the kittens, you should feed the kittens a formula designed for cats (e.g. KMR). After weaning, cats have no need of milk and it shouldn't be given to them. Most cats are lactose intolerant, so even 1% milk can cause serious problems. That being said, an accidental lick or two by a curious kitten shouldn't do any permanent harm.
How often do you give a kitten or a cat milk?
It depends.. The age of the kitten is important.. Kittens can get milk.. it just depends on how old they are. 3 months is the right time you can feed them milk if they are suppoted on their mother's milk. However.. if the kitten does not have a mother, it is encourged that they are to have milk. You are welcome!! -Amber <><><><> Many cats and kittens have trouble digesting cow's milk- upset tummy. There are milk replacements you can get from a vet if you need to nurse an orphan kitten- but would pass on cow's milk. Remember, they are kittens, not calves.
