Preparing for Your Cat or Kitten

Congratulations on your new furry family member!

Here are some tips to get you started and keep them healthy and safe.

Supplies:

• Food and water bowls

• Bedding

• Scratching post

• Litter box, scoop and litter (one box per cat/kitten)

• Carrier Food (dry and/or wet - check with your vet)

• Toys (mice, balls, wand toy, laser pointer)

• Optional: Treats (for older cats only)

• Grooming tools

Cat/Kitten Proofing:

Cats and kittens are curious, playful and often mischievous. Don’t leave anything out that your foster pet can chew, swallow or break such as electrical cords, hair ties, glassware, etc. Look for places where your foster can hide and be sure to block access to those areas including behind the refrigerator or washer.

Wellness Check:

All of our cats/kittens are up to date on all vaccinations appropriate for their ages. Kittens under 3 months will still need to receive their rabies vaccination within the first 90 days of adoption. In the next few weeks please schedule a wellness check with your vet to create a schedule for when your cat/kitten will need to be seen so they stay healthy.
