A new beginning need not be rushed. A prepared home and patience leave room for the little moments when curiosity becomes trust.
Before collection
Prepare a secure carrier and a quiet arrival area with food, water, a litter tray, somewhere to rest and hide, and something to scratch and play with. Keep the litter tray away from food and water. Ask us which food and litter the kitten already knows.
Familiar things come along
Our starter pack contains familiar wet and dry food for about two weeks, a litter tray and scoop, a food bowl, toys and a blanket carrying familiar scents. It supports the transition; still check what extra equipment you want at home before collection. We discuss the kitten’s familiar routines at handover.
First introductions
Give your kitten time to arrive quietly. Offer retreat and avoid forced handling or a big welcoming crowd. Introduce children and other animals gently and with supervision. Familiar scents and a manageable starting space can help. Each kitten has its own pace; comparisons with another cat are rarely useful.
Documents and questions
Keep the vaccination record and handover documents, and discuss further preventive care with your veterinary practice. Our kittens are placed as companions with a neutering agreement; the pedigree is handed over or posted after proof of neutering. You can write to us about the kitten’s previous routines. For health concerns, contact your veterinary practice.
