1.HEALTHY FOOD – This is probably the most important decision you will make for your new kitten! Whether you choose raw, kibble, canned, or a variety of them all, ensure that you find a good kitten food that has meat as the first ingredient and does not contain inferior ingredients such as by-products, corn, wheat & soy.

2.MULTI-VITAMIN AND ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID OILS – When accompanied with a healthy diet, a daily multi-vitamin can be beneficial to help prevent disease and increase life span. Essential Fatty Acids are great for maintaining skin and coat health too!

3.BRUSH AND NAIL CLIPPERS - Be sure to introduce brushing and nail clipping into your kitten’s routine as soon as possible. This way, kitten will accept that grooming is a part of life!

4.COLLAR, HARNESS, AND LEASH – A nylon collar with a bell is a good choice for a kitten. If kitty is going to be allowed outside, be sure to get a “safety break-away” collar.

5.KITTEN SHAMPOO – Be sure to find a brand that is hypoallergenic and will not affect the kitten’s natural PH balance.

6.CATNIP TOYS – Organic catnip toys/treats are a great way to entice your kitten to play and be silly.

7.EAR CLEANSER OR WIPES – An ear cleaner with natural antibacterial properties is ideal for ear health.

8.DENTAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS – It is important to take the time and brush kitten’s teeth with a toothbrush and “kitten-safe” toothpaste, however, there are several natural alternatives such as gels and foams that will help combat plaque and tartar buildup. Start proper dental hygiene early! This will be a blessing later on in life when kittie has to get teeth removed at the expensive vet due to poor teeth and gums.

9.TREAT DISPENSING/INTERACTIVE TOYS – Try a cat wand to entice your kitten to chase you.

10.NATURAL STAIN REMOVER – Make sure to have a good cleaner on hand when your kitten has an “accident”.  Natural stain removers will help to remove all the smell so the kitten is less likely to return to that spot to “go”.

11.CHEW DETERRENT – Chew deterrent spray tastes bad and can be used on many inappropriate chewing surfaces such as furniture, shoes, etc.

12.TRAINING TREATS – Soft and meaty treats work best for training.

13.COMFY BED – Kittens sleep a lot so a warm place to curl up is very important!

14.FOOD AND WATER DISHES – Stainless steel bowls are easiest to keep clean as they do not harbour the bacteria that many plastic bowls can.

15.NATURAL CAT LITTER – Be environmentally friendly and try a scoopable, flushable, and biodegradable litter.

16.LITTER BOX AND SCOOP – Some cats are ok with covered boxes, and some cats are not. Choose a scoop made for clumping litters.
