Kitten Care Tips

Start your journey as a proud kitten parent the right way.

Bringing a new kitten home is exciting, but also a big responsibility. At Pure Kitten Nest, we want to make sure your new companion stays happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. Here are some essential care tips to help you give your kitten the best start in life:

🛏️ 1. Create a Safe Space

When your kitten arrives, give them a quiet, cozy area to settle in. This helps reduce stress and gives them time to adjust to their new environment. Use a soft bed, warm blanket, and a few toys to make them feel at home.

🥣 2. Feed a Balanced Diet

Feed your kitten high-quality kitten food that meets their nutritional needs. Always provide fresh water, and avoid giving cow’s milk, which can upset their stomach. Follow feeding schedules recommended by your vet or breeder.

🧼 3. Litter Box Training

Most kittens are already litter-trained, but accidents may happen during transitions. Keep a clean, easily accessible litter box nearby and praise your kitten for using it. Scoop daily and clean the box regularly.

🐾 4. Socialization & Play

Play is essential for bonding and healthy development. Use interactive toys, feather wands, and balls to keep your kitten active and mentally stimulated. Handle them gently and often so they grow into confident, friendly adults.

🐱 5. Routine Vet Visits

Schedule a wellness check with your local vet soon after adoption. Keep up with vaccinations, deworming, and flea prevention. Discuss spaying/neutering options and ask about microchipping for safety.

✂️ 6. Grooming Basics

Depending on the breed, your kitten may need regular brushing to prevent mats and reduce shedding. Trim their nails every few weeks and check their ears and eyes for cleanliness.

🚫 7. Kitten-Proof Your Home

Remove small objects, cords, toxic plants, and dangerous foods from your kitten’s reach. Be mindful of where they explore—curious kittens can get into tight spots or chew on harmful items.

Remember: Patience, love, and consistency are key.
