Hi, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you bottle feeding videos. Just over two years ago I found my baby Merlin at about three weeks old and was able to determine this and how to care for him because of your videos. He passed the night of March 23rd 2022 before he could have his third birthday. His daddy, brother and I are so devastated by his sudden loss but are so grateful for the time that he was with us. And it's because of your videos. I just want to take this time to thank you for these videos, what you do and the time we had with our boy. You are amazing and I hope you can do this for a very long time.

Thank you so much for these video's. I have fostered 53 kittens. I could not have had as much success if it wasn't for watching your videos at 3am when I was pulling my hair out trying to get a little guy to take to the bottle. My favorite success (again, thanks to you) was when I had 5 little 2 week old orphans, after the loss of their mother they wanted nothing to do with the bottle but when you mentioned to try competition feeding, I thought why not....IT WORKED! What does a kitten want? What another kitten has Ha! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!

Thank you for helping those kittens in need. I'm sure that was a great relief for the shelters and rescues in your area to have such support.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Thank you so much. I've fostered many kittens and have bottle fed them. I am also an old NICU nurse so this is right down my alley but I got a kitten a couple nights ago that had been found on an engine. It's probably close to a couple of weeks old but was really stressed when I got it. The women that brought her to me had really done the best she could but they don't understand the importance of warmth. Anyway, she was a difficult feeder. I have one of those bubble nipples that I use with a syringe and love them. She could latch and suck but what a Tasmanian devil and I couldn't keep her paws contained. So, I did what you recommended and fed her in her box. It has a stuffed animal and she ate like a champ! I am so grateful for this advice. Feed on!

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Thank you for these handy tips. Kitten season is about to start here and I am ready for fosters. @Kitten Lady one additional tip I have found: some kittens just don't like to eat a lot at one time so if one doesn't eat enough, I feed the rest of the litter and go back to give the reluctant kitten a second go at the bottle. Often they eat enough, just in 2 feedings.

[@spacecat3198]

God that kitten you re holding and playing with as you talk is killing me. She’s such a playful wiggly clumsy squirmy cute little thing I’m going to die from the cuteness. We got our cat at 4 months. She was a little clumsy then so I can just imagine how adorable she was as a baby.

I really appreciate the advice and encouragement. Because of resources like this I feel supported by a community rather than struggling on my own. So, Thank you Kitten Lady... you are supporting an army of cat lovers. We can’t save them all but it’s not going to stop us from trying.

Hannah, I wanted to say thank you for this video and all the time and effort you’ve taken to make all your videos. We found a 10day kitten abandoned in our garden, we were certain it was alone and had been there a while. We took him to the vet immediately and then he was given back to us to be cared for once the vet was happy no serious issues. Your videos have helped us so much and have no doubt saved our kitten’s life. Thank you for all your wonderful efforts to help save lives. You’re a beautiful human and I’m very thankful to you!

Fun story when I was ten my cat Gigi had kittens in the closet and one baby was having a hard time feeding because he was the runt so to get him going he'd suckle my finger thinking it was her teet then I'd move him to her belly so he'd actually eat. Worked like a charm 😊

@Kitten Lady I volunteer at a pet food bank *only one in my whole city* and have recommended your channel to so many people with kittens/repeated what tips I remember to them so many times- they love when I Purrito a kitten they brought in~! *though most escape so maybe I'm not quite doing it right lol* I had a question about syringe feeding and replacing them frequently- HOW frequently should they be replaced? I know you said they should be washed out after each use but also replaced frequently, but does that mean every 5 uses, or every 10, or what? I'd love to know so I can tell my clients at the Pet Food Bank if they ever need to know!!

[@brieannaelmer1803]

UnderLust_Sins I’m not Hannah but I’ve fostered for three years and I recommend using them for a day and then replacing them. That way you don’t have to keep track of how many times you used a certain syringe! Hope this helps and once again I’m no expert but I have some experience.
