Here are some key kitten supplies to have on hand before bringing home a kitten:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A<\/strong> <strong>pet carrier<\/strong> (preferably lined with a soft blanket for extra comfort) is the safest way for your new kitten to travel.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age-appropriate food, and food and water bowls<\/strong>: We are happy to recommend a nutrient-rich diet at your kitten\u2019s first visit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Litter box and cat litter<\/strong>: Position your kitten\u2019s \u201cpotty area\u201d away from loud noises and away from food and water dishes. If you adopt more than one kitten, be sure to have one more litter box than the number of cats in your household.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toys, scratching posts, and climbing trees<\/strong> will keep your bundle of energy entertained.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your new kitten will spend the majority of her time napping, so make sure she has <strong>a comfy bed<\/strong> \u2014 or two!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pheromone diffusers or calming sprays<\/strong>: These are particularly helpful in multi-pet families to help make your new kitten\u2019s transition to your home a smooth one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accidents happen, so be prepared to clean up the occasional errant tinkle with <strong>urine\/odor remover spray<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitten Adoption Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing kitten supplies is just the beginning of your journey as a cat parent. Here are some other things to consider before bringing home a kitten:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prepare a safe environment for your curious new kitten. This means making sure household toxins like cleaning supplies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants\">poisonous plants<\/a> are out of reach.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have other pets, read-up on ways to safely introduce your existing pets to your new kitten.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider adopting from a local shelter, where precious kittens in need are awaiting their fur-ever homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain a record of all medical procedures your new kitten has had prior to adoption, such as spay\/neuter surgery, microchipping, and vaccines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Kitten Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your new kitten is home sweet home, schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wvcvet.com\/services\/wellness-preventative-care.html\">wellness care visit<\/a> so we can get your kitten off to a healthy start.
