Solution for an IV

I am looking to be able to make my own solution for giving an IV to my cats when they become dehydrated. Can anyone help?

In general you need a base liquid which would be water with salts and minerals. The quantities may change depending on your cat's situation. I wouldn't go ahead doing it before you spoke to a vet since you might cause your cat harm if you aren't exact with the quantities.
