ML Pet Nursing Bottle, Nursing Bottle Kits, Substitute Nipple Mini Cat Feeding Bottle for New child Kittens, Puppies, Rabbits, Small Animals, Squirrel

So effective
I took in a stray and she turned out to be pregnant and unfortunately refuses to care for the litter, probably because 2 were still born and third one died after three days. I have 4 left and bought a set from Petco but it was too big, then I found this set and I have to say, the kittens suck the siringe out in two seconds. Highly recommend for newborns.

Very good – but not all kittens will adjust to it
My area has a terrible feral/homeless cat issue. Many mother cats abandon their babies shortly after birth, & sometimes another female will sort of adopt the abandoned kittens & let them nurse, but often times that isn’t the case & they die. I made the mistake of buying the Pet AG nursing bottle, the one with the huge nipple that no young kitten can even get their mouth around, & are not strong enough to even suck. I found 3 abandoned kittens a couple weeks ago, probably at a stage in their life where they should be eating hard kitten food & still nursing a little bit, but they were so delayed because their mother had neglected them so much, that they were tiny & still exclusively relying on milk.The mother had abandoned them completely at some point, so I tried to take care of them with kitten milk replacer. Except the terrible Pet AG bottle was useless, & my small town does not really have many options for this kind of thing. So, I bought this kit online, but as I was waiting for it, 2 of the kittens perished. But the third is thriving now that she actually has a way to get enough nutrients via the unique nipple that comes with this kit. I believe the brand-name is ‘Miracle Nipple’ – the nipples in this kit, if I’m not mistaken, are knockoffs & work just as well for a fraction of the price (but I will continue to refer to them as miracle nipples). Literally a lifesaver. After just a week or so, she’s feeling strong enough to actually nibble on moistened kitten food.My one complaint, is that the syringes are pretty poor quality. A few uses & the rubber stopper gets stuck when you try to pull it out to fill / refill it. I had to buy a pack of syringes recently & then only just realized today that I could have been using the little bottle that came with the kit. I had never tried it, because when I first got it, the clear nipple that was already in the bottle was so difficult to remove that I actually thought it was glued in there or something, & not meant to be removed. Only to look at pictures from other reviewers who were using the miracle nipples with the bottle. So I tried again & realized the miracle nipples certainly do work with the bottle, you just have to really force it in there. It’s kind of a pain, but it’s more convenient than refilling those 5ml syringes multiple times for feeding.Update 05/23/2024: I forgot to mention in my original review, the PetAG bottle isn’t *totally* useless. It is compatible with these miracle nipples. Just like the bottle that comes in this kit, it’s a pain to remove/replace the original nipple, but I’m just happy it is compatible & wasn’t a complete waste of money.Also, I am uploading a photo of that abandoned kitten, not long after we took her in. This was following a sponge bath after she made a mess all over herself (I put her in the sock to keep her warm). The other photo is today, May 23. Hard to believe it’s the same cat!November 2024 update: removed a star, now that I’ve used these with multiple kittens. Only about half of them can adjust & adapt. For extremely young kittens (a couple days old), I really don’t know how well these would do. Even for 2-3 week old kittens, the flow can be a bit much.

Everyone should have one of these unless all your female cats are spayed
If you have a cat you haven’t spayed, or if you have a tendency to save stray or feline cats, you may be presented with a litter of adorable kittens at any time. Be prepared! Get the appropriate products and keep them in a place where you will be able to find them. I prefer the canned milk for kittens. No mixing or worries about clumps. The milk is available in the pet store or Amazon I suppose. The mother will like this special milk also. Don’t try cow’s milk, it isn’t good for kittens. So next time you find an abandoned little kitten at death’s door you will be glad you have everything at your fingertips that you might need. A hot water bottle is also a good thing to have, and some absorbent, disposable pads, and a box of an appropriate size. Put the box upside down on the pad and cut out a door of the appropriate size. Make sure the hot water bottle is warm but not too hot and wrap it in a towel, not a rag that has been used for cleaning. The chemicals can be bad for the kitten.

Literally a lifesaver
I ordered these when our foster kittens began losing weight and just couldn’t seem to figure out the bottle the rescue had given us. I ended up returning these only because the rescue for which we were fostering ended up giving us the same kind before these arrived. For a newborn kitten, these nipples were a GAME CHANGER. It’s incredibly helpful to have the small syringe with clearly marked ml as well. I do find the markings rub off fairly quickly and the syringes begin to stick if washed and reused a few times.
