Bringing Your New Kitten Home
Written by Church Walk Vets Monday, 15 November 2010 17:57
When bringing your new kitten home it is important to ensure you have a suitable and secure cat basket to transport your kitten. When you arrive home you should offer your kitten reassurance and time to adjust to their new surroundings before introducing them to other animals. It is important to make sure all doors and windows are closed.
Introducing Your Kitten to Others
Written by Church Walk Vets Monday, 15 November 2010 18:16
Introductions to children and other pets should be gradual, gentle, quiet, and always supervised. It is important that you let your kitten investigate others (pets, children and adults) on their own terms. You should also ensure that your kitten is allowed time to sleep/rest at regular intervals and that they do not feel under pressure to interact.
Nourishment

When feeding your kitten you should use the same food that it has been used to as a sudden change of diet can cause diarrhoea. If you want to change your cat's diet, do so gradually by mixing a small amount of the new diet with the old one. The ratio of new diet to old should be increased gradually over several days.
Toilet Training
Written by Church Walk Vets Monday, 15 November 2010 18:27
The first step towards toilet training your kitten is to show your new kitten where the litter tray is kept. To help your kitten to adjust to using a litter tray you can place it in the tray on waking, after meals, or if it looks like it is about to go to the toilet. This will help to facilitate the process of toilet training. You should use litter bought from a shop. Do not use earth from the garden as it may harbour diseases.
Vaccination
Written by Church Walk Vets Monday, 08 November 2010 20:30
For the first few weeks of their lives, kittens are protected by natural antibodies from their mother’s milk. However this protection wears off, leaving them vulnerable to disease. Primary vaccinations followed by annual boosters are vitally important to protect your kitten from serious infectious diseases. Our feline vaccines provide important protection against four infectious viruses.
