KITTEN CARE
Please leave food and water available at all times. Kittens are use to eating throughout the day and night.
We feed both wet can food and dry kibble. Kittens will go home with the food they are eating. Some kittens will eat both dry and wet food while other kittens will only eat one or the other. I do not force kittens onto dry food I let them free choose what they prefer to eat and then send home a care package for each individual kitten.
Kittens are using cardboard, sisal post and cat trees for scratching. I provide multiple scratchers and cat trees to encourage positive scratching so kittens do not look to the furniture. To ensure this continued positive behavior please provide cardboard and a sisal post/trees for your kitten to scratch.
Please note that a cat tree that is totally carpeted will not provide the proper stimulation the kitten needs to satisfy the need to scratch (not to mention you are teaching it to scratch carpet) so it must have a sisal rope post/tree. Kitten nails have been routinely cut once a week or so from birth and will need to have this routine continue to ensure nail health.
Kittens are trained to use an open litter box and are fully trained. Kittens are very smart and can be trained to use a covered litter box if desired.
Russian blue cats/ kittens are very clean and do not like to have a dirty litter box. It is advisable that you scoop the box twice a day both morning and night.
When you bring your new kitten home it is best to confine them to a room with their belongings (litter box, toys, food, water, scratch post/tree etc..for a couple of days until they get use to the new surroundings and to keep them safe at first when you cannot be home.( This only applies if you live in a large home)
If you have another pet this is a must until you introduce the new family member properly to the existing pet. Please research how this is done to ensure a positive outcome.
A kitten collar with a bell is recommended and is provided so that you may know where your kitten is at all times as they are very good at hiding under or behind furniture.
If you have plants/flowers in your home please ensure that they are not poisonous to your new kitten as they may eat the plants and flowers in the home if available to them.
A list of poisonous plants and flowers are listed online.
Please make sure all small wires are tucked away or covered as kittens will chew wires if available to them.
Items needed when bringing your new kitten home:
1. Large litter box (with a lid is fine just no swinging door)
A Litter Locker disposal system is recommended for very easy clean up of litter box.
2. Litter ( unscented clumping ) and litter scoop (stainless steel is the best)
3. 3 bowls 1 for water,1 for dry food and 1 for wet food. (ceramic are best for bacteria control)
4. Crate or carry bag for bringing your baby home and trips
5. Cat tree/condo and Sisal post.
6. Cardboard scratcher.
7. Assorted toys ( favorites are anything with feathers and bells).
8. Treats (temptations, dried liver, dried chicken)
