Essential Tips for Welcoming a New Cat into Your Home

Preparation for Your New Kitten's Arrival

01 | Activity Area

Newly arrived kittens should ideally be confined to a cage for a few days to allow them to acclimate to their new environment before being let out.

Should you not have a cage, try to keep them in a sealed room that is quiet and free from strong odors.

02 | Essential Items

Eating:

Cat food (select a suitable brand or goat's milk powder)

Water and food bowls

Nutritional supplements such as vitamin gels, hairball remedies, lysine, and beauty gels are commonly used.

Playing:

Cat tree (a versatile piece of furniture for scratching, sleeping, jumping, and lounging)

Interactive toy sticks (a musthave for engaging with your cat)

Using the Litter Box:

Litter box (opt for a petspecific litter box, or use a large bowl or box temporarily)

Litter (choose a dustfree, odorblocking, nonirritating variety with good clumping and nonsticky properties)

Litter scoop

Other Needs:

Internal and external deworming medications (Bayer and Champion are recommended; always check the dosage and suitability for your cat's size)

Outdoor carrier or pet airline (for easy transport)

Cage with a bed or cushion (for a sense of security and comfort)

Comb and pet nail clippers (for grooming and nail care)

II. Raising Your Kitten

01 | Caging

Place a litter box, litter, soft bedding or a nest, and food and water bowls inside the cage. Ensure the cage is at least 75 cm long to accommodate all items comfortably.

Select a highquality cage with appropriately spaced wire to prevent escape risks.

02 | Indoor Free Roaming

Similar to caging, set up a litter box, litter, soft bedding or a nest, and food and water bowls in the room. Always keep doors and windows secure to prevent accidents.

Be sure to put away fragile items, as curious cats can easily break them. A vacuum cleaner is helpful for cleaning up excess litter.

03 | Raising Considerations

Feed twice a day, morning and evening, and always monitor their mood and health.

Scoop the litter box twice a day.

Provide cool boiled water or purified water for drinking.

Offer 23 cm of nutritional gel daily.

Add lysine or probiotics directly to the cat food if needed.

Start feeding hairball remedies if your cat starts grooming excessively to avoid vomiting.

Wash your hands before petting your cat to avoid transferring bacteria.

Feed no more than 70% of the cat's maximum meal size to prevent obesity.

III. Special Considerations

Avoid excessive play and handling when your kitten first arrives to prevent stress reactions.

Only feed your kitten foods that you know are safe until you understand their dietary restrictions.

Do not frequently change cat food as different brands have varying ingredients that can cause digestive upset.

Similarly, avoid frequently changing litter as not all types are suitable for your cat.

Do not believe myths about cats not being afraid of heights.

Do not frequently change your kitten's environment when they are young, as the world is vast and potentially dangerous.

Should your kitten exhibit symptoms such as continuous tears, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, loss of appetite, prolonged urination, or a listless demeanor, contact the seller immediately for advice and solutions. Do not delay, especially if vomiting is persistent.
