Essential Kitten Supplies for New Pet Parents
Preparing your home for a new kitten requires thoughtful planning and the right supplies:
- Kitten Food: Choose between kitten wet food or kitten dry food based on your kitten's preferences. Brands like Royal Canin, Hill's Science, and Purina offer balanced nutrition for growing kitties.
- Kitten Milk Replacer: For orphaned kittens, kitten milk replacer or kitten formula provides essential nutrients.
- Litter and Litter Boxes: An appropriately sized kitten litter box ensures comfort and reduces accidents during litter training.
- Toys and Enrichment: Interactive kitten toys promote play and stimulate natural instincts, aiding in development.
- Scratching Post: Introduce a kitten scratching post early to prevent furniture damage and support claw health.

- Feed your kitten 3-4 times daily until 6 months old, then transition to twice daily. Offer both canned kitten food and dry food after consulting your kitten vet.
- Schedule regular kitten vet visits for kitten vaccinations and health check-ups.
- Provide a cozy kitten bed for sleep and a secure kitten carrier for travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kitten supplies are essential for preparing my home?
You'll need kitten food, litter, a litter box, toys, a scratching post, and a comfortable bed. A kitten milk replacer is important for young or orphaned kittens.
Should I feed my kitten wet or dry food?
Both wet and dry foods have benefits. Wet food can provide hydration, while dry food supports dental health. Providing a mix can give a balanced diet.
When do orphaned kittens need milk replacers?
Up to 4-6 weeks old, orphaned kittens require a kitten milk replacer or formula to meet nutritional needs.
Do I need a special kitten litter box?
A smaller, lower-sided box can make it easier for kittens to enter and exit while learning to use the litter box.
When should I take my kitten for vaccinations?
Kittens typically need their first vaccines at 6-8 weeks old. Schedule regular vet visits to ensure up-to-date vaccinations.
Should I get a scratching post right away?
