Technically, yes, but kitten milk replacer is high in fats so you may be better off giving your adult cat a different milk replacer not intended for kittens. We use Whiskas CatMilk for an occasional treat - you can find it at Petsmart.

∙ 12y agoNo. That is the simply answer. Cow milk is simply to fatty for them and tends to cause diarrhea in kittens and cats. If the kitten is too young to eat solid food, then you will need to go to your local pet store and purchase liquid or powder kitten milk replacer and feed through a bottle every 2-3 hours at room temperature.
