Kittens should be given commercial kitten food to ensure their nutritional needs are met.

Kittens are very mischievous, full of energy and often time-consuming. Adopting a kitten is a lifetime commitment – which could be 15-20 years. Kittens should be given commercial kitten food to ensure their nutritional needs are met. The socialisation period happens between two and eight weeks of age and allows your kitten to learn what is safe and normal. Grooming will help to keep your kitten’s coat and skin healthy. Neutering (spaying for females and castration for males) is the most humane way to stop unwanted pregnancies and minimise the unwanted cat population. Cats like a variety of warm cosy places so they can rotate their sleeping place and they like places up high as it makes them feel safe. The litter tray location is important – it should be in a quiet place where they won’t be disturbed, away from their bed, food and water bowls.
