Healthy Food |
Cats are susceptible to a number of urinary and kidney problems which are directly related to diet.
Feeding a raw diet provides optimum nutrition, and can help with litter box odour.
Good canned food is a healthy alternative that is less processed than dry food.
We do not recommend feeding dry kibble as the primary food source for cats, but
mixing dry food with canned or raw, or both can provide variety.
Look for a dry food that uses human grade ingredients, with no artificial chemicals or preservatives.

Collar, Identification tag, leash and/or harness |
A cat who is comfortable in a collar is easier to take places, such as for rides in the car, trips to the vet, or even for a walk around the block.
It also ensures that if your cat finds itself in trouble, the attached identification tag will ensure that it gets home safe.
|
Litter |
There are many different litters available, and the ultimate decision will partly
depend upon your cat.
We recommend a biodegradable litter, such as Oz-Pet, Asan ecological litter, or Breeders Choice, as they are better for the environment, or alternatively Catsan litter crystals which lock in odour. We do not recommend clumping litter, as it has caused problems with cats ingesting it.

Cat Toilet, Litter Box and Supplies |
Make sure the litter box is large enough for your cat to move around in and get comfortable.
A covered litter box will reduce the risk of accidents down the side of the box or on the surrounding walls.
Make sure you have a good sturdy litter scoop.
Many litters recommend a specific scoop for assurance of cleanup.
|
Toys |
Kittens are very mischievous and love to play.
Have plenty of objects for them to bat around and ‘kill’.
Catnip toys are especially fun for many cats, especially those containing organic catnip.
Feather wands are an excellent way to interact with your new kitten to keep it active and develop skills.
You could also consider:
- Balls – sponge balls or balls with bells in.
- Laser toys.
- Bubbles.
|
Treats |
Cats love to be rewarded with tasty morsels such as Feline Greenies or air-dried ZiwiPeak Daily Cat food. |
Food and Water Bowls |
We recommend ceramic or metal bowls.
Water fountains are a fun way to provide your cat with a clean, flowing water source for proper hydration.
|
Cat Bed |
Cats love a good nap.
Provide yours with a safe, quite place to retreat to.
|
Grooming Supplies |
Incorporate grooming as part of your feline routine, so that your cat will enjoy the attention.
Brushing it regularly reduces the risk of hairballs.
Longhaired cats should be groomed a couple times a week, while shorthaired cats at least
once a week.
|
Nail Clippers |
Most indoor cats will need to have their nails trimmed on a regular basis, and though most won't enjoy the experience, they generally learn to tolerate it. |
Chews |
Kittens need to develop their teeth and gums and providing them with bones such as chicken necks will give them a good, healthy way to keep their teeth strong and healthy. |
Home protection |
Cats can be highly destructive when they are bored or in a bad mood.
Protect your furniture and plants from clawing damage with Sticky Paws, and use deterrent sprays for other areas that you wan tot keep the cat away from. And be sure to have a good scratching board or post for your cat to exercise its claws on without damaging your home
