Kittens are small, fast and curious. This new kitten checklist covers the supplies to buy, the kitten-proofing to do and the vet appointments to book — ready before day one.
Food, bowls, a litter box, a carrier, a scratching post and a few toys, plus a kitten-proofed room to start in. Book the first vet visit for the first week.
When should a kitten see the vet?
Within the first week home, then on the vaccination schedule your vet sets — typically every few weeks until around 16 weeks old. Keep the dates in the health section.
