PET CARRIER/CRATE
Please be sure and purchase a carrier for your kitten! hard crate or a soft carrier, whatever you prefer.

FOOD
We feed Earthborn Holistic primitive feline grain-free natural dry cat & kitten food.
and Purina fancy feast kitten pate wet canned food.
LITTER
We use Equisicat paper pellet litter or paper crumble litter. This specific brand is a product made by Petsmart and can only be purchased at Petsmart! You are free to choose other brands of paper pellets, this brand is our preferred choice. We use a large open top regular litter box.
If you decide you want to go with a different litter, we recommended the Breeze pellet litter system. Everything to get you started comes all together in a box.

PLAY / SCRATCHING POST
Have a Cat tree for your kitten that has scratching posts! They will need somewhere to scratch! This also gives them a mini playground of sorts and resting spots.
I like the go pet club cat trees if your looking for a quality cat tree for an affordable price! These can be purchased on Amazon and Chewy.com
