Please try to get kitten formula. I do not recommend using anything else as it can lead to severe diarrhea that can be debilitating in tiny kittens. Most pet stores, farm supply stores or vet clinics should carry kitten milk replacer. Even some grocery stores may have it. There is a homemade formula at this link if you truly can't get milk replacer right away but every diet/formula change leads to risk of diarrhea. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=576

You did not mention how old Lulu was. If she is between 6 weeks old or older, she is weaned and does not need any milk. I don't recommend to give cats milk if they are consuming a normal commercial balanced cat food. If Lulu is younger than 6 weeks, this Royal Canin milk is meant to be a supplement to kitten food and is meant for kittens 4-12 weeks of age. If she is younger than 4 weeks, she needs a different type of formula like KMR which is a milk replacer and not a supplement.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, you can. There is also a Kitten weaning formula, but the milk is fine. I would also provide the dry food plain, so Sky can crunch down if she wants too. Take care.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! If the kitten is 3-4 weeks old it can each canned kitten food. There are grocery stores and drug stores that are 24 hours. If it is 1-2 weeks older I would call an emergency vet hospital to see if they carry kitten formula that they will sell you. Otherwise the kitten can wait a few hours for the stores to open. https://kittenrescue.org/2017/03/raising-orphaned-kittens/
