The first three months set the foundation for your kitten's lifelong health and habits. Here's a complete starter guide.
Feeding Your Kitten
Kittens need kitten-specific food with higher protein and fat content to support rapid growth. Feed small, frequent meals (3-4 times a day) since kittens have tiny stomachs. Browse our kitten food range including formulas from Royal Canin and Lola & Co.
Litter Training
Most kittens instinctively understand litter boxes, but placement matters — keep the box in a quiet, accessible spot away from food and water. Show your kitten the box a few times after meals and naps.
Socialization
The first few months are a critical window for socialization. Gentle handling, exposure to different sounds, and positive experiences with people help build a confident, well-adjusted adult cat.
Play and Enrichment
Kittens have high energy and curiosity — provide safe toys for play, which also helps develop coordination and hunting instincts. Check out our cat toys collection for kitten-safe options.
Vet Visits and Vaccinations
Schedule your kitten's first vet visit within the first few weeks for a health check and to start their vaccination schedule.
