First 30 Days With Your Kitten: Diet, Setup & Safe Acclimatization

Before your kitten arrives

Set up a quiet room with a bed, litter tray, food and water bowls, a scratching post and a few toys. Remove cables, toxic plants and small objects.

Buy the same food your kitten eats at the cattery — we include a starter pack.

Week 1: settling in

Keep your kitten in one room for the first few days. Let it explore at its own pace and keep visitors to a minimum.

Feed three to four small meals a day at regular times.

Week 2: exploring the home

Open up more rooms gradually. Begin short, gentle play sessions and handle your kitten's paws and ears so future vet visits are easy.

Week 3: vet and routine

Register with a local vet and book a check-up. Bring the health record we provide so boosters stay on schedule.

Week 4: introductions

Introduce other pets slowly, using scent swapping and short supervised meetings. By the end of the month most kittens are confident and part of the family.
