Getting a New Kitten?

Feeding and Nutrition

• Kitten Formula Food: During the first year of their life, your kitten will be in a rapid-growth phase. Choose a specially formulated kitten food to ensure they're getting the proper nutrients and energy for growth and development. Read our guide on what to feed your new kitten for detailed advice.
• Food & Water Bowls: Choose wide, shallow bowls to prevent putting stress on their whiskers. Glass or lead-free ceramic bowls are best — easy to clean and won't rust. Browse our bowls and feeders collection for options.

Comfort and Care

• Cozy Bed: Most kittens are adopted between seven and eight weeks old — now separated from their littermates, they need a warm, safe place to rest. A bed with sides, or even a roof, helps them feel protected. See our cat beds collection for cozy options.
• Litter Box and Litter: Kittens are fast learners when it comes to potty training. Find a litter box with low enough sides so your kitten can easily climb in — boxes with high openings can lead to accidents. See our guide on teaching your cat to use the litter box.
• Cat Carrier: A carrier is essential for bringing your kitten home safely and for vet visits. Choose one that will accommodate a full-grown cat, and put something soft inside for their journey.

Extras and Fun

• Toys: Cats are curious by nature — keep a few cat toys on hand when you get home. Toys that crinkle or jingle are great for keeping their attention.
• Cleaning Supplies: Accidents will happen. Stock up on paper towels, disinfectant, and odor-removing cleaners.
• Collar and Tags: Even indoor kittens should wear a collar and tags in case they ever get out.
