Healthy happy kittens I manage a feral cat colony and unfortunately many new cats that join the colony are already pregnant. The pregnant females always receive Hills kitten food to help supply their nutritional needs. The mother continues with the kitten food and once the kittens are about 4 weeks old I transition them to Hills kitten food, mixed with baby food. This helps the mother regain her physical fitness and helps with "humanizing" the entire family. Once the kittens are eating regularlly they go to the vets, for health check-up and are put up for addoption. Despite the initial issues these kittens have all managed to be healthy and happy and I give all the credit to the Hills kitten food. The mother recovers quicker and can be spayed in short order because she can regain her health much quicker. It is amazing what good food can accomplish, I see it every day in the health of the colony and the easy adoptions of these very healthy kittens. Thanks for your great food, I couldn't do it without you. May 17, 2012
My kitten loves it! My kitten loves this food! Since I started feeding her Healthy Development her fur is so soft and shiny! It seems like she has more energy. I definitely recommend this product. May 16, 2012
