Kitten Care Guide
Welcoming a new kitten into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience.
To help ensure a smooth transition and the best start for your new furry friend, we’ve compiled some essential care tips. These guidelines will help you create a safe, comfortable environment where your kitten can thrive.
Drinking water
Fresh, clean water at all times. Water fountains are great!
Litterbox location
The kittens are already using a litterbox before they leave, but keeping the food and water close to the litter box reinforces where it is located.
Check out our Recommended Products for litter box and cleaning tools we use and love.
Toys safety
Do not give them string or yarn to play with as they will eat it. Always check with the manufacturer to ensure a toy is suitable for your kitten’s age.

Kitten comfort
Some kittens will cry when adjusting to their new homes. It is normal and natural they are used to being with their litter mates. Use the time to bond with your new family member. Be sure to give them a safe and secure small space, such as a bathroom, when you’re gone, so they don’t feel overwhelmed.
The environment
We recommend an area like a master bath or a bathroom attached to a frequently used bedroom. This is a great place to start a kitten in their new home.
Adjustment time
Our kittens are socialized and used to being held before leaving our house. They usually adjust to their new homes within just a few days.
Kitten health
Do not lose the Health Records sent with your kitten as each one is personalized to your kitten and we cannot recreate it. We recommend you put it in on file on your phone and take it with you to your kitten’s first vet visit within 72 hours of receiving your kitten.
Enjoy!
Last but not least, enjoy your new family member!!
