Kittens are unable to regulate their body temperature until around 4 weeks of age. Until that time, they rely on their mother’s body heat for warmth. Lacking this heat source, orphaned or abandoned kittens can quickly succumb to cold. A gift of a Snuggle Safe heating disk provides warmth through the use of a gel-filled disk that can be heated in the microwave to provide 8 hours of warmth and safety. A Snuggle Safe is also great for travel or transporting kittens, as it requires no electrical source or cord in order to provide vital warmth.
