Your kitten needs to be exposed other pets, animals, people, children, noise, collars and leads, toys etc in order to learn that they are O.K. But remember the kitten is not a toy. They are fragile and need to be handled with care. Do not lift by the scruff of the neck – use both hands.

Taking on a kitten is an expensive investment, you must ensure that not only are you prepared for the responsibility of a kitten but you can also afford healthcare and maybe insurance.

Looking After your Kitten
Bringing a Kitten Home
A kitten will normally leave its mother between 10 – 12 weeks of age. It will have been weaned to solid food and should be house trained.
The new home will be frightening and ideally the kitten should come home with a blanket with familiar smells and some of the food it was fed.
The kitten’s reactions will probably be one of fear and will more than likely look for somewhere to hide – Fear not – be patient and it will eventually venture out.
Try to keep children at bay until such times as the kitten has settled in. Remember that kittens are like babies and require a lot of sleep so play should be kept to short periods. As the kitten grows its appetite for play /sleep will change. If your are changing the kitten diet it is wise to do this over the course of a few weeks to allow it to become accustomed to its new home and at the same time new food.
