The kitten essentials checklist

Follow these tips to ensure your kitten is introduced to a safe, comfortable environment. 
 
Before bringing your kitten home:
 
Carrier:
 
Your new kitten will feel timid leaving their familiar surroundings. A new carrier with a towel will make it feel safe. Once you bring it home, open the carrier door and let your kitten explore its new surroundings.
 
Collar:
 
Whether your cat remains indoors all day or is scared of the outdoors, there’s always a chance of it sneaking out. A collar with an ID tag is a smart way to prevent losing your new friend. It’s highly recommended that recent vaccinations be recorded on the tag. Customizable tags can be easily made and purchased at large pet stores like Petco.
 
Food:
 
To find the healthiest food for your kitten look for the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) statement on the bag or label. Do not feed cats with cow’s milk, as it causes diarrhea/
 
Water and food bowls:
 
Be wary of plastic, as some pets are allergic to it.

Scratching post
