Adoption Resources

Kittens explore with their mouths and paws. Walk through your home with this list before your kitten arrives.

• ✓Block or screen all windows, balconies, and stairways kittens could fall from.
• ✓Cover electrical cords with cord protectors or spray with bitter deterrent.
• ✓Remove or secure toxic houseplants (lilies, pothos, philodendron, aloe).
• ✓Keep small objects — rubber bands, hair ties, string, coins — off the floor.
• ✓Latch cabinets under sinks where cleaners are stored.
• ✓Close toilet lids; kittens can fall in and cannot climb out.
• ✓Check and close gaps behind appliances (fridge, washer, dryer) before each use.
• ✓Tie up or shorten window-blind cords to prevent strangulation.

Have these ready before homecoming so your kitten settles in with as little stress as possible. See our supplies wishlist for purchase links.

• Carrier (hard-sided, easy to clean) for vet trips
• Food & water bowls (shallow, ceramic or stainless)
• Growth-formula kitten food (wet & dry)
• Non-clumping kitten litter + shallow litter box
• Cozy bed or fleece blanket in a quiet corner
• Scratching post or cardboard scratcher
• A few kitten-safe toys and a wand teaser
• Kitten-safe grooming brush and nail clippers

Your kitten will come to you with a head start on care. This timeline keeps their protection complete.
