Tomlyn High Calorie Nutritional Gel for Kittens (Nutri-Cal) 4.25 oz

Smells bleh but the baby seems to like it! I had to get some added calories in my 3 (almost 4) month old kitty-baby after her spay and this really aided in her recovery. She wasn’t really eating for too long and lost so much weight fast because the intubation was too rough on her throat. This was a great addition and she was good with the texture of this when a lot of other textures was a no go (even churu). The texture was rather thick - like toothpaste but stickier. I placed a dab on my finger and she licked it right up with no problem. A few dabs added much needed calories/nutition during her recovery and was easy on her throat. I did 3-4 fingers 3-4 times a day for a week along with other higher calorie options that she would consume for less than a week and she was recovering beautifully. She had become skin and bones and I was scared for her but this came in clutch. It was actually recommended by ChatGPT so I purchased right away to get to her to gain back her lost weight. Now I give her 3 dabs once a day and it’s still a great addition. She is still in her recovery - 14 days post spay but 7 days post restitch so I still have a week to go. Her eating is mostly back to normal but I feel she still needs the added calories/nutrition so this is some amazing, easy stuff! Not to mention she really seems to like it. This didn’t give her any bathroom/ digestive problems and I did use in addition to new foods to her diet (I had to try different wet foods to see what stuck without transition because.. desperation). For my baby this worked really well but she doesn’t seem to get issues with most foods. I would recommend to try if you need to get some needed calories/nutrition for a kitty that won’t eat. It was necessary for mine and I’m glad she took to it!

Don't read the ingredients or you won't use it. I keep it on hand because it will quickly replace glucose and even hydrate a sick kitten (cat, dog or puppy) in an emergency rescue situation better than just about anything else. The cat, dog and puppy formulas are not as effective as this one (in my experience) so this is the only one I bother with. They all like the taste.

I bought for my kittens and I did not expect anything good guess what was the opposite my kittens love it

Seemed to help my little fosters gain weight and grow which they needed. They liked it.

We recently went on vacation and our sphynx cat was so upset that she refused to eat. By the time we got home she had dropped so much weight and with her being hairless you could see how boney she was. I was actually afraid to pick her up. I had used this product before on a foster cat so I knew it worked. I ordered it and within 1 week she was looking healthy again. She absolute loves the flavor and would jump up on the counter as soon as she saw me grab the bottle. I can't recommend this product enough.

I bought this for some extra nutrients for my two rescue kittens . The fur on my Siamese turned so soft and clean looking . The calico’s fur didn’t really improve much but she had good fur to begin with . We noticed the calico putting on weight after about a week of getting this daily . The Siamese didn’t need help with the weight gain so we give him maybe half a dose . This is kind of like a gel, brown , kind of fishy smelling but it’s tolerable . The kittens love the flavor ! More so the calico. I squirt this on a plate with a small portion of blue buffalo wet cat food . (The kind in the pouch, not a can .) They took it ok on top of their dry kitten food but it fell in the cracks and they didn’t want to it eat once it sat at the bottom all day. It’s easier with a small portion of wet cat food /or something else . They eagerly wait for this to come out every morning . They gobble it up quicker than the wet cat food itself .

Bought this for a rescue. Unfortunately I couldn't get her to try it. I mixed with food, mixed with water and mixed with lactose free milk. She would smell it and walk away. Not saying this isn't a good product, just wasn't able to get a very skinny stray to try it.

This is wonderful for foster baby kittens! We have used this on newborn kittens that were rescued and didn’t have the energy to nurse. We got some of this in them and it helped get them up to nursing strength. We have used it on fading newborns and it works well. Used it on a very sick kitten that would not eat. It got him through the rough patch and we even kept adding it to his food to help get him back up to kitten playing weight. We use this on new intake kittens all the time to help them overcome malnutrition. We use it added to wet food to get kittens to try new foods and to eat foods that they otherwise turn their nose up to. Healthy food is not always their food of choice. We currently use it on a kitten that is smaller than he should be to help him along. It has done fabulous for him. I will NEVER be without this in my emergency kitten or cat kits ever again.

great

Purchased for my 20 yr old cat who has been losing weight. She recently had dental surgery which further added to her lack of desire to eat. She doesn’t care for this straight, but she’s also a very picky eater; however, likes it mixed with her soft food. Started with a tiny bit and slowly increased amount. Noted increase in hunger. Asking for more food and more often, which hasn’t happened in a few years! She actually finishing her soft food twice a day and needing a refill, where I’ve been previously tossing her food and replenishing with fresh. Appetite improvement after only a couple of days! She’s definitely put on a bit of weight and seems more energetic (as energetic as a 20 yr old can be). Highly recommended!

It put weight on sick cat

this stuff helps with my aging cat the urge to eat meals, if I get her off of it she gets lazy eating her meals.

My cats love it. I have to hide it in my drawers because my cats chewed up my last bottle to hell, trying to eat the gel. Totally destroyed it. Had to buy another one. I guess that means the gel is delicious to cats :)
