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
