What We Suggest

Food: Your kitten will be eating Wellness Core Grain Free Kitten dry food, Nulo Freestyle Salmon and Mackerel wet food, Blue Wilderness Wild Delights Chicken and Salmon wet food, and Tiny Tiger Kitten wet food. Please do not change your kitten’s diet in the first few weeks being home. Diet changes are stressful for kittens, especially in new environments.

Supplements: Kittens may experience gut issues when undergoing the stresses of moving into a new home. We highly recommend giving your kitten L-Lysine and Probiotics their first few weeks at home.

Allergy Info: Pacagen is a company that sells food additives and sprays to reduce Fel d 1 protein in cats for families with allergies.

Take Home Tips and Care

Before bringing your kitten home: Designate a small room or area for your new friend. Make sure the room is kitten proof and keep the kitten’s food, water, litter box, bed, scratch posts, and toys in this area. This will be your kitten’s safe space for the first couple days at home. Keep your kitten here until they are comfortable to start exploring other rooms one at a time. Doing so will help your kitten adjust and not feel overwhelmed.

What you will need at pickup: Please bring a carrier for your kitten. Depending on your method and length of travel you may also need to bring a disposable litter box. I will send your kitten home with a few snacks and toys, as well as a small blanket that has the scent of the kitten’s mother and littermates. The familiar tastes, toys, and smells should make the journey more comfortable for your kitten.

First day(s) home: Upon arriving home after pickup, place the carrier in the room you have designated for your new kitten. Allow the kitten time to come out of the carrier by themself. Once the kitten is out, place his or her front paws in the litter box to show them where it is. Show them where their food and water is as well. This will likely be a stressful time for your kitten, so make sure to give them lots of space to explore on their own time. Do not force socialization or petting as it may overwhelm them. Instead, allow them to feel comfortable with your presence by building trust via exploration and play.
