Before you get a kitten or any other animal, it is important to take care of a few things. This article will tell you how to prepare for the arrival of a new pet in the house.
Prepare the house
It is important to create a safe space for the new resident of the house.
Secure the kitten's rooms: remove toxic plants, sharp and cutting objects, and household chemicals. Check if the windows are working.
In addition, take care of the feeder, bed, toys and other entertainment for the kitten.
Purchase quality baby kitten food, a scratching post, toothpaste, and a brush. Choose a tray and filler.
Choose a collar that can include a phone number and your address.
It is important to ensure that the toilet is closed so that the kitten cannot climb into or fall into it.
Protect furniture from a kitten with double-sided tape or other special devices.
Think about the future life of a kitten
For example, if you travel often, it might be a good idea to have another pet. So the cat will be more fun to be alone in the house.
If you work long hours, consider getting an older cat that won't need as much attention as a kitten.
Consider monthly veterinary expenses, food and litter for the litter box, and other expenses. For example, medicines, toys, treats.
Plan for a calm environment for the kitten at first: without noise, guests, small children and other animals.
Your pet will need some time to get used to and feel comfortable and safe in a new place.
Be prepared to devote a lot of your time and energy to the kitten.
