This is the dry food your kitty is eating from 4-5 weeks of age, available 24/7 until kitty’s 4 mo. old. It supports nursing mom & kittens health. The smallest size kibbles that is perfect for the youngest kitten to start on dry food and continue until 4 mo. of age.

At 4 months of age, you can transfer your kitty to a different high quality kitten food, holistic food with higher meat content as cats are carnivores. Include wet food in your cat's diet as well. Ask your vet for an advice and, as always, research!

Just a little example / diagram from Halo dry food on how to transfer from one kind of dry food to another one. It's more safe to transfer it in the 4 days increments.

Transfer your kitten to a new food slowly by adding 25% of a new food to the old one for the first 4 days, then 50% of the new food for next 4 days, then 75 % for another 4 days. After that, your kitten/cat can be 100% on a new food.

As an addition to dry food, your kitten was introduced to these brands of wet food. It contains the essential moisture needed to keep your growing kitten happy & healthy. 1 TBSP at least once a day at 10 weeks old, increasing amount as kitten grows.

Kittens should be fed kitten food — both wet and dry — until they are at least eight months old, and then they can move to adult food. Always have plenty of fresh filtered water in a ceramic/ glass bowl changing it at least once a day..

Treats simply make life more fun! And when given in moderation, they're great for helping you build a bond with your kitten, showing love, rewarding good behavior, using in training and much more! Look for healthy ones!

Treats are usually designed to be delicious, not nutritious. Treats that are made from nutritious ingredients are better for your cat! Look for treats made with high-quality protein (chicken, turkey, beef or fish) as cats are carnivores.

I add Probiotics to dry or wet food daily for good gut health and strong immune system. They can help maintain balance in the digestive tract. This can have a positive impact on your pet's overall health. Consult with your vet.

Kitten stool is too soft? Feed a consistent, kitten-specific diet, add probiotic to dry or soft kitten food daily, add fiber to diet. Always make sure you're keeping on top of their regular deworming and flea treatments. Contact your vet.

Your kitten was dewormed twice with Ultra Guard syrup (used syringe to serve syrup orally, it’s more successful to administer it around nap time when they’re calm. Second dose of deworming done in 2 weeks. Consult your vet regarding future deworming.

All kittens are different: some take syrup from syringe. Others do well if I mix it with a little amount of wet food. Some love the taste, when others hate it! :-D Just be patient and creative, research, get advise from your vet.

Choose kitten flea collar carefully: avoid collars with toxic chemicals. If possible, go natural way! Collars or sprays with essential oils repel fleas well. .

For older kittens I use Cheristin Flea Treatment. For the very young kittens, just to prevent fleas, I make a mix by adding 10 drops of each: lavender, rosemary & lemongrass essential oils to 1/2 cup of distilled water. I spray mix onto my hands & massage it into the kitten’s coat.

It’s nice to have some kind of a natural, pet safe flea spray to keep fleas away from your house. You can spray the entry door mats or a carpet area, cat tree, etc. . .

Pet bedding should be washed once a week (to keep the nasties away) with pet safe detergent. Add vinegar and baking soda to remove smells. LaundraPet is one of the best pet laundry detergent for pet odors and stains. .

In general, a healthy adult cat doesn't require bathing unless he or she has gotten into something that has coated the fur and can't be easily removed with brushing. Cats groom themselves naturally. We should help keep them clean by brushing or combing them regularly.

Brushing helps you bond with each other. Since most cats enjoy being brushed, this is a great time to bond with your feline friend. Some cats really enjoy the way it feels too. Find a brush for your kitty to remove some loose inner and outer coat. .

Wait on Litter-Robot or any other kind of Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box that use crystal litter until your kitty is at least 6 month old. Regular litter box, preferably one for each kitty in the house, is perfect now. Safety first! .

Your kitty’s using Clumping clay litter now. Please start with the same one to avoid accidents, as your kitty is adjusting to a new home. Later you can transfer kitty to another litter, follow direction on the box. Do you know #1 thing cats hate is a dirty litter box?

Eye care: Clean kittens eyes when needed with cotton ball dipped in the warm water or use wipes for cats & dogs. Terramycin ointment is for mild eye infection. Follow direction on the box, contact your vet.

Cat Ear Wipes ( sheets or finger wipes) help clean debris, wax. Also, melted coconut oil on cotton ball would do a great job cleaning cat’s ears.

Just check your kitten’s ears at lease every 2-3 month, wipe them using cat ear sheets/wipes or ear finger wipes to remove any wax deposits or debris. Don’t use baby wipes or Q-tips!! .

Kittens are generally ready for adoption around 10 weeks of age and should’ve been weaned and vaccinated by this time. A kitten should stay with their mother and siblings for at least 10 weeks to avoid the risk for developmental, social, and health issues.

Health exam & first round of FVRCP vaccines will be done by licensed veterinarian when kitty is 10 weeks old. I’lll let you know the date of this appointment and I’ll share kitty’s Health Exam copy with you. That’s the day your kitty is ready to move into your home!

You are responsible to schedule your kitty’s FVRCP booster that is time sensitive and should be done in about 3 weeks from the date of kitten’s first round of FVRCP vaccines. Continue contacting your kitty’s new vet at the clinic of your choice.

If your kitty feel nervous when you take him to the vet, on the flight or on adventure, these might come in handy to keep your kitty calm during the trip. Our vets are using Feliway Classic plug-ins to keep pets calm and happy. .

Cats can certainly learn to enjoy car travel. The best time to teach them is when they’re very young. Wishing you and your kitty lots of fun during trips and adventures! Thinking of getting a leash? That would be a good idea. Safety first!

When your kitten has a buddy, they'll always be entertained, active, and enriched. Two kittens keep each other occupied and out of trouble. They may also enjoy cuddling together, grooming each other and playing with each other. A happy cat makes a happy home!
