Bringing home and raising a new kitten is a rewarding and challenging experience, simultaneously. You certainly want to be the best pet parent, whether you’re thinking about adopting a kitten or have already brought a fluffy little bundle of fun into your life.

What To Expect

Having an adult cat and raising a kitten is a completely different experience. Kittens are incredibly energetic and inquisitive, so they consume a significant amount of your time and attention. In addition to a lot of love and playfulness, to properly socialize your new cat, she also needs a lot of monitoring to keep her out of mischief.

While adorable and endearing, kittens can be quite demanding. Keep in mind that your cat won’t ever again be this tiny or adorable and that the kitten stage doesn’t last indefinitely. Enjoy this time with your cat and keep in mind that the relationship you create will span her entire life.

Preparing Your Home

Make arrangements before bringing your new kitten home to ensure a seamless transition. You should start by kitten-proofing your house by looking at each room from the perspective of a kitten. Close or cover vents, windows, and any crevices she could be tempted to delve into. Put all strings, including window blind cords, electronics and power cords, out of reach. Remove everything that could be a choking hazard.

To help you in caring for your kitten, you will require a variety of materials. Before bringing her home, stock up on the following essentials:

  • Cat treats
  • Premium cat food
  • Litter box and cat litter
  • Food and water dishes
  • Cat bed
  • Collar and ID tags
  • Cat carrier
  • Cat brush and/or flea comb
  • Scratching post and kitten-safe toys

Feeding Your Kitten

Until they are at least eight weeks old, kittens should stay with their mother and fellow littermates. By that time, they need to be completely weaned and capable of regulating their own body temperatures. But if you’re in charge of a newborn or young kitten, you have to keep her warm and give her a bottle of kitten formula every two hours. It’s best to speak with your veterinarian about a suitable feeding plan and other particular considerations in situations like this.

However, your new kitten will typically already be on solid food when you bring her home. If

possible, request a week’s supply of the food she’s eating from the shelter or the previous guardian.

Whatever you choose to feed your kitten, be sure to use high-quality food that is made specifically for growing kittens. Kitten food should have a lot of calories, be high in protein, and easily digestible.

Your Kitten’s Socialization and Training

On the first day you bring your kitten home, you should put potty training on the top of your list of priorities. Usually, kittens who remain with their moms until they are completely weaned pick up on the function of a litter box by observing their mothers. Typically, you simply need to show the box to your kitten because she will already be aware of what to do.

Training a kitten normally involves setting and reinforcing boundaries and household norms in addition to potty training. Your kitten will learn best if you use positive reinforcement rather than punishment or harsh words. Never ever shake your kitten or hit it. Instead, ignore her when she acts out and shower her with love, treats, and praise when she behaves well.

It’s important to socialize your cat while it’s still a kitten. She needs to be comforted, played with, and introduced to as many different sights, sounds, smells, and people as possible in order to develop into a healthy adult. The best time to train your cat to tolerate grooming procedures like washing, brushing, nail cutting, and tooth brushing is when she is still young. Other things to get her used to include wearing a collar, traveling in a pet carrier, and riding in a car.
