How Can a Kitten Drink Milk Safely?

Kittens easily suffer lactose intolerance, so pet-specific goat milk formula is generally recommended. A few kittens may tolerate milk; if no other food is available, offer a small amount and watch for soft stools or diarrhea, stopping immediately if they occur.

Lactose-free comfort milk (zero-lactose) is another option and usually does not cause diarrhea, but it is less nutritious, so switch to goat-milk formula once available.
