Kitten Care

​

Bringing your kitten home

​

Making some plans ahead of time will make the transition to a new home much easier for you and your kitten.

​

First, make an appointment with your veterinarian to have your new kitten examined.

​

Make sure you have a sturdy travel crate for the cat to ride in.

​

To limit the number of changes your new kitty will need to experience the first day, you should have the same brands of food and litter we use

 

Instinct dry food with raw boost

In the long run, premium cat foods are less expensive then grocery store brands. Your kitten will eat less of a high quality food

and be healthier for it, saving your money on vet bills. Remember, this is a growing kitten and is going to eat a lot. Keep your kitten's dry food available at all times,  eating will taper off at it nears adulthood.

​

We highly recommend adding raw natural for all cats food: meat, fish, liver and eggs. We use organic products, the very same brands we have in our own diet.

​

Before you bring your new kitten home, put his food, water, toys, scratching post and litter pan in a quiet room you can close off.

Spend as much time as possible to comfort the new baby being away from his mom and siblings for the  very first time.

Cats need to become thoroughly familiar with new surroundings before they feel comfortable. An entire apartment or house can be overwhelming all at once. It will be much less stressful for your kitten to learn  about you, your family and your home a little at the time. This is even more important if there are multiple people and/or pets in your household.

​

Let your kitten explore the room, make sure he finds the litter box.

​

Please have the same litter we use:

​

In a few weeks you will be able to change it for any litter you like, but at first it is important  to keep as many familiar things for your kitten as possible, so he does not get confused. Please do not use clay litters. It contains chemicals that can poison your kitten if digested.

Sterilizing your Ragdoll cat is a must; it will also protect it from developing certain types of cancer. Taking your pet to the vet for regular check ups will also ensure its overall, general well-being.

​

Grooming these cats is not a very difficult task. They do not tend to shed as much as other breeds of cats. Although their soft, plush coat may look like a lot of work, it is actually very easy to care for and does not require much grooming, once a week brushing would be enough to remove loose hair.
