Breastmilk substitute: any food marketed or used as a partial or total replacement for breastmilk, whether or not suitable for that purpose Exclusive breastfeeding: giving an infant only breastmilk and no other solids or liquids, not even
water Replacement feeding: giving an infant who is not
receiving any breastmilk a nutritionally
adequate diet until the age at which the child can be fully fed on family foods Transition: a period and process to accustom the infant and mother to new feeding patterns, after which all breastmilk is replaced with breastmilk substitutes
We require adopters to ensure that all working cats have warm shelter,
adequate food and
water, and that they
receive regular veterinary care — just as with any cat we adopt out from our shelters.
