Preparing for Kittens Arrival

You're probably thinking contact solution, what!? I have used contact solution & cotton balls for YEARS to clean the kittens eyes/face. Contact solution is a lot more gentle on the eyes vs. water. Cotton balls are a lot less scratchy than a paper towel. I NEVER use any sort of eye cleaner for cats as it has too many chemicals and is very harsh. Kittens are messy eaters and still learning how to groom themselves so helping them clean with gentle products is a must. You can buy both of these off Amazon. 

These are little snacky's that the kittens love. I give them one in the morning and one at night. These are treats for them, so don't go overboard. You can buy both of these off Amazon. 

Sometimes when kittens are stressed they can have loose stools. Being in a new home, new smells, new sounds, etc.. without his/her siblings can be very stressful. I mix one scoop with one full can of fancy feast and refill that can with hot water and mix till its soup like and feed it to the kitten (half a can in the morning, half a can at night). You can get this off of Amazon.

Having pumpkin on hand is always good idea. For the same reason as having probiotics on hand, some kittens instead of getting loose stools can get a little backed up with stress. This should help the kitten balance out and get things moving along. I do one packet a day if the kitten hasn't pooped. You can get this off of Amazon. 

The kittens get a half can of Fancy Feast Poultry & Beef Pate' morning and a half can at night.  A total of one can a day. I mix it with hot water to make it soup like. This helps keep them hydrated. You can get this off of Amazon or most pet stores.

I free feed the kittens Royal Canin- Mother & Babycat. Free feed means they have access to their dish any time they want. Please keep in mind this is NOT kitten, but babycat. You can get this off of Chewy, Petco, or PetSmart.

You should never allow full access to your home with a new kitten. Thats too much space and unknown territory for the little one which can cause stress resulting in the kitten hiding to find a "safe spot". I recommend getting this popup playpen and putting it in middle of the living room so the the kitten can have its "safe spot" while also getting familiar with the new environment. You can also do a bathroom or spare bedroom. Make sure it has access to a litter tray, food/water, and a bed. You can get this off of Amazon.
