I'm getting a new kitten. What supplies will I need to purchase before I bring her home?

cat_content_logoBringing home a new kitten is an exciting experience. But before your little ball of fluff crosses the threshold, you’ll need to get a few items that will help make the transition safe, clean and fun. Here’s a checklist:

Collar and ID tag—essential even if kitty stays indoors. Covered litter box, litter, and a good strong scooper, check. Combs and brushes, check. Toys! Catnip mice are surefire fun, and feathered wands can help kitty develop strength and agility. Dried treats for a reward, check. Yummy healthy kitten food? Check. Ceramic or metal food and water bowls, check. A nice cozy bed for napping? … hmm. It might be hard to resist curling up with kitty in your own big bed.
