Cats and especially neonatal kittens cannot digest lactose and feeding an orphan kitten cows milk or any derivative of (like evaporated milk) can kill them. Absolutely never use it even in an emergency.

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also: —neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten. —NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COW’S MILK!
