Tips on How to Care for Your New Kitten

Updated: Aug 15, 2022

New kittens are bundles of joy in every sense of the word. Full of energy, with a curiosity that knows no bounds, your new addition to the family will need some special loving care during the first few months. First, and foremost, be sure to take kitty to the veterinarian for a general checkup and any vaccinations she may need.


Here are a few tips to consider in the meantime:

  • Make sure your kitten has a comfortable, dry bed all her own.

  • Set aside time every day to play with your new feline friend. Playtime promotes bonding and also helps kitty expend some of that energy.

  • Buy a variety of cat toys, such as scratchers, fishing poles, and catch and chase toys.

  • Place her litter tray in a private, quiet area.

  • Gently brush your kitten on a regular basis. Try to make grooming time an enjoyable bonding activity.

  • Situate kitty condos and climbing trees in kitty’s play area to satisfy her natural curiosity for heights


And feel free to stop by your vet clinic Westminster, MD for some more tips on basic care for your kitten.
