Understand proper kitten care
Be sure to “kitten proof” your home

Know what vaccines your kitten needs
From bordetella to rabies, know what and when to give for optimum kitten health.

Your kitten has very different nutritional requirements than a person, so make sure they have the nutrition they need for a healthy start.
