Just know this, whether you're adopting or taking a kitten off the hands of a friend, you are awesome. In doing my research, I found out that 3.4 million cats all over the globe find their way to an animal shelter every year. So, really, everything does count.
Here we go, things you should know for your new little furry friend.
Supplies: This should go without saying, Like duh. I know you know the basic things to get, so I won't bore you with this one. All I have to say is make sure you do your research on the different foods to get. I do know there are brands out there that are not so safe for your little animal friend so just be careful.
Beds: I made this mistake. When I got my kittens, they absolutely loved the bed I got them... for about a week. Sure, it might be a good idea to get this for your little kitten until he's comfortable with his new surroundings but unless you have a dog or someone else who would need it, skip out on this. A nice basket or mat for them to stay in at first will do.
They're cute but: They are cute...BUT a lot of work. For the most part, they take of themselves. But sometimes, they do need a little TLC. So next time you have homework to do and sweet little Sophie just won't leave you alone, remember this warning.
They get into EVERYTHING: Consider your house a jungle gym for your new little friend. He will want to go exploring everywhere. Especially, as little as he is, expect him to get lost under couches and tables. Don't worry though, he will find his way back to you!
Outside: Rookie mistake. If you want your kitten to explore the yard, that's fine. Just know two things: 1. They will get fleas. 2. They will be meowing until the end of time to go outside again.
They are adorable: Above all these things, nothing is better than having a little furry pet to cuddle up with. They will love you unconditionally and they are just so darn cute! Seriously, nothing is better than a pet.
