Kittens should be kept with their mother until they’re at least eight weeks old. They should have been gradually socialised so they are used to people, noises, being handled and ideally other animals too. tonkinese kittens for sale

Preparing the house

In order to help your kitten settle in comfortably, there are a few things to consider.

• Allow them to go at their own pace. A new environment can be very overwhelming for them so give them time to adjust and make sure they have a safe, quiet space they can go to with food, water and a litter tray available
• If possible, provide them with something from their previous home such as a blanket or toy that they are familiar with
• Make safe any areas that the kitten will be in. And section off any areas that you don’t want them to be in such as the kitchen
• Consider using a feline pheromone plug-in to aid in relaxation
• Play with your kitten as much as they’re happy to, which will help to create a bond between you.

Register with a vet

Although hopefully your new kitten will come to you in perfect health, you will still need to register them with a vet so

they can get preventative healthcare such as vaccinations and treatment if they do become ill.

You may already have a vet in mind from previous or other pets but if not,

speak to family and friends for recommendations and ensure you know the vets’ location, opening hours and provisions for out of hours care.

Ensure you insure? – tonkinese kittens for sale

Pet insurance is by no means compulsory but it can be helpful to have some sort of means to pay for any unexpected veterinary bills.

This may be by taking out an actual pet insurance policy or by putting money aside into a separate bank account every month.

There are pros and cons to each option so again, speaking to family and friends who may have been in a similar position can be helpful.
