How to care for a kitten or cat
Cats are independent but still need consistent care, a safe environment, and regular health checks.
Daily care for cats
- Feed a balanced diet suited to the cat/kittens age.
- Make sure your cat/kittens water supply is kept fresh & clean.
- Clean litter trays daily and after "messy accidents".
- Allow your cat/kitten time to play & rest.
Consistency helps cats feel comfortable in their home environment.
Cat health and wellbeing
- Vaccinations and routine vet visits.
- Flea and worm treatments.
- Monitor eating, grooming, and behaviour.
- Watch for changes in habits.
Cats often hide illness, so small changes matter.
Creating the right environment
- Provide a safe indoor or secure outdoor space.
- Use scratching posts to protect furniture.
- Offer toys and stimulation.
- Create quiet resting areas
