How to Care for a New Kitten

Congratulations on brining a new furball into your home! This guide is here to help you provide the best care for your furry companion.

Essential supplies:

Cage / Pet Tent

Cage / Pet Tent – rovides a safe and cozy space for your kitten to rest and feel secure. You may allow free roaming once your kitten is comfortable with the new environment, but it is highly recommended to keep them in a pet tent during their young age for safety and easier supervision.

Food & Water Bowls

Food & Water Bowls – Use sturdy, non-tip bowls that are easy to clean. Proper feeding bowls help maintain hygiene and ensure your kitten always has fresh food and water.

Cat food (kibbles)

Cat food (kibbles) – Choose high-quality kitten food with the right nutrients to support healthy growth, energy, and development. For more details, refer to our feeding schedule guide in a separate article.

Cat Litter

Cat Litter – Essential for maintaining cleanliness and odor control. Cats naturally know how to use a litter box, so no potty training is needed. As long as litter is provided, your kitten will instinctively use it for their toilet needs.

Litter Box

Litter Box – A comfortable and accessible spot for your kitten’s toilet needs. Start with a low-entry box that’s easy for kittens to climb into.

Grooming Supplies

Brush / Comb

Brush / Comb – Regular brushing helps reduce shedding, prevents tangles, and keeps your kitten’s coat shiny and healthy. It’s also a great way to bond with your kitten and get them used to being handled.

Nail Clippers

Nail Clippers – Keeping claws trimmed not only avoids scratches on you and your furniture but also helps maintain your kitten’s paw health. Start trimming gently from a young age so they become comfortable with the routine. For more details, refer to our Grooming & Hygiene guide in a separate article.

Cat-specific Shampoos

Cat-specific Shampoos – Gentle formulas made just for cats, keeping their fur soft and skin healthy. Unlike human shampoos, cat shampoos are safe for their sensitive skin and ensure they stay fresh and clean when needed. For more details, refer to our Grooming & Hygiene guide in a separate article.
