Proper weight maintenance is critical to your new kitten’s overall health. If you’ve noticed your kitten isn’t transitioning well to their new diet, it’s essential to determine the cause and address it as soon as possible.

Our high-calorie supplement is easy to use and contains calories from salmon oil, making it a healthy addition to your kitten’s diet. It is also packed with necessary vitamins and minerals to help kittens gain weight.
Stress - Transitioning to their new home and getting to know their new environment can be a very stressful time for your new kitten.
Food Placement - A kitten may not be eating because their food may be in a high traffic area, causing them not to feel relaxed enough to eat. The food dish could be located too close to their litter box.Â
The type of bowl their food is in is also important; kittens may not eat if a bowl is too small, causing their whiskers to bump against the sides of the bowl.Â
New Food - It can take time for a kitten to adjust to their new diet; you should slowly introduce their new food over several days.Â
Pain - Your kitten may be experiencing teething pain, similar to a baby teething. This may cause enough discomfort that your kitten doesn’t want to eat.Â
Illness - A loss of appetite is common if your kitten isn’t feeling well. You should check in with your vet to rule out any possibilities of illness if your kitten suddenly stops eating.
Weight will vary for every kitten; the important thing to focus on is that they are making progress. If your kitten starts losing weight or appears to be underweight, it is important that you take it to the vet for a checkup. Your vet may recommend you increase your kitten's calorie intake. Our Ready Cal for Kittens is a great supplement to give them the additional calories they need to gain weight.
If your kitten is gaining weight at a slower pace, our Ready Cal Kitten supplement is an excellent source to get concentrated calories without feeding them additional food. Our Ready Cal Kitten supplement is also packed with the necessary vitamins and minerals that your kitten needs for healthy weight gain. A high-calorie supplement may also stimulate their appetite and boost their energy.
If your kitten stopped eating suddenly and it has been more than 24 hours, they could have an underlying illness or infection. You should schedule a checkup with your vet to better understand what could be causing them to turn away from their food.
Many reasons could contribute to why your new kitten isn’t eating. If they are adjusting to their new home, it could simply be from stress, or they may dislike the type of food you are giving them. When you bring home your new kitten, it’s always a good idea to ask about the current food they have been eating. If you prefer another type of food, you can gradually introduce the new food by mixing it with the food they are used to eating. Over the next several days, you can gradually mix in larger amounts of the new food.
If your new kitten hasn’t eaten anything for more than 24 hours, you should schedule an appointment with your vet.
