What To Get For A New Kitten
New Kitten Shopping List
- Have a kitten too young for kibble? Get kitten formula (kitten milk replacer). This will supplement their diet. Or use it until they start eating kitten food. (Our kitty Chai was on formula at first)
- Kitten food.
- We got a water container/water dispenser like this. And a food bowl like this it’s smaller, oval and has a cute kitty face.
- As he gets bigger you can get a cat bowl like this one for food and one for water.
- A litter box. We have a few cats (and tried a lot of litter boxes) and our favorite cat box is PetSafe Scoop Free Self-Cleaning Little Box (and worth every penny)! I don’t have cat sand everywhere anymore or odors in my laundry room from the traditional cat boxes. You can get cat litter replacement trays. Or buy this cat tray (insert) and cat litter like this. Best buy for our cats ever, seriously!
- Cat Toys – 21 piece Cat Toys Set was a deal! Oh, my gosh he loves it. The cat tunnel in the set is the biggest hit!
- Hand down a cat wand with feathers are a kittens favorite toy. And a scratching post.
- Kitty Bed – This cat bed is like a cushy cave and he love it! I love the cute print. It has 2 print choices.
- A portable foldable pet play pen! Play pens for pets are perfect for keeping your kitty safe. And letting your other pets meet your new addition to the family. Use it for taking your kitty outdoors. Works great for traveling. It’s durable and portable. Our kitten still plays in his play pen.
- Pet Carrier (this is like ours and has a hard exterior, we use it for our small dog Luna too) and a soft shell like this pet carrier. Either one is a must for taking your kitten to the vets and for traveling.
