Being prepared for your kittens arrival will allow for a smooth transition for both you and the kitten. Here is a list of supplies that you will need prior to your kittens arrival:
The time has finally come to pick up your new furry friend and make them a part of the family! So here are a few tips on preventing stress and safety.
We suggest you set up his/her food, fresh water, and clean litter box in a small room isolated from other pets. This will give your new kitten adequate time to settle in to their new home Do not let your new kitten roam the whole house unsupervised as this can cause a safety risk. Kittens are small and may fit in places such as under the couch, washer/drier and small holes. Do not allow your kitten to play with strings, rope, floss, yarn and other small objects - if swallowed they can end up as an obstruction in the intestines and will likely lead you to the emergency vet and surgery. Be careful with appliances such as refrigerators, washing/drying machines, sofa recliners ect. ALWAYS check before you use and/or close the door.
After your kitten has become comfortable around you and your family, we recommend slowly introducing him/her to the household pets and other rooms (this time frame varies depending on individual cat/kitten). When introducing a new kitten to a resident cat or dog, do so SLOWLY. Start by letting them both get used to each others scent. It may take a few weeks for the resident cat or dog to become used to the new kitten. Never leave both animals unsupervised until you are certain your kitten is safe and comfortable.
By this time, you should have hopefully researched what it takes to care for this unique breed. Similar to Persians, Exotics require special grooming.
