What will my new kitten need?

1. Proper kitten food: A kitten needs more protein and nutrition than an adult cat and for its first year, it’s important he eat food designated specifically for kittens.

2. A litter box: One size fits all, so you needn’t worry if the litter box seems too big. Your little guy will grow into it.

3. A bed, scratching post, and toys: A scratching post and cat toys will help him further develop his cat skills and provide relief for his natural instincts.

4. Grooming: While cats clean themselves with their famed sandpaper tongues, they also rely on us to brush them.

Cats can live up to 15 years or longer. Having a cat is a wonderful experience, but as said, it is also a responsibility. One that needs to be taken seriously and with a clear understanding of what adoption entails.
