😽🏠 A cat or kitten is coming to your home soon, and you want to make them happy. To welcome him in an environment adapted to his feline needs, here are the essential equipment for his well-being!

1. THE LITTER BOX : Place it in a quiet place. Choose one open container, or even better, two, big enough for him to stand up and turn over. Opt for a fine, unscented litter that is suitable for cats. Put enough so he can scratch and bury his needs. A litter scoop will be required for daily cleaning. Clumping litter is generally easier to maintain. ⚠️ Avoid silica litter, which is toxic to you and your cat!

2. FEEDING : Offer a dry and wet diet several times a day, especially for a kitten (they have small stomachs!). Household rations can also be considered thanks to our trusted partners, Pepette and Elmut, who offer high quality meals, prepared with love with the help of feline veterinarians and nutritionists.

3. THE BOWLS : Ideally fun to keep your cat busy, slow down their food intake and offer them choices.

5.. WATER : Place several bowls in different places and change the water regularly. A fountain can be a good choice because it ensures continuous oxygenated water.

6. FROM THE HEIGHT : Whether it is a cat tree, shelves... any space at height will be appreciated to climb, rest, observe inside or outside, hide and play. Positions near windows and hiding places will be particularly popular.



7.. TOYS : Little mice, balls, circuits to play alone, but also feather and fishing rod to play and strengthen your bond with him. Rotate the toys to keep them interesting and engaging.


8. A TRANSPORT CAGE : An essential tool to transport your cat safely and offer him a reassuring place for visits to the vet. It must be rigid and adapted to its adult size. Familiarize him with the cage by leaving it accessible, by offering him hiding places, or even by putting his meals there.


9. PRECAUTIONS ⚠️ : Beware of home dangers: secure windows, avoid toxic plants, avoid toxic plants, do not give dangerous foods (chocolate, avocado...), check the washing machine before starting it, put away household products, watch trash bags and wires, watch trash bags and wires, do not leave medications lying around... and much more!
