Care Tips
Your kitten was being fed "Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lover's Soul" brand dry kitten food. We do recommend that you feed your kitten a high quality food. If you wish to change brands, it should be done gradually by mixing the new food with the old and gradually decreasing the amount of the former food. When your kitten is a year old you can switch to an adult cat food.
We use Swheat Scoop natural wheat litter, in uncovered litter boxes.. We do not recommend the clumping clay litter. It is dangerous to your cat if ingested and tends to stick to their fir. If you wish to buy a less expensive litter than Swheat Scoop, choose a brand that is not a clumping clay type. Swheat Scoop clumps like the clay litter and is safe for your kitten, biodegradable, and doesn’t cost much more than other litters. It can be found at Krogers and some pet stores.
It may take your kitten a few days to adjust to his or her new surroundings. This is perfectly normal. It is best to keep the kitten in a small room for the first couple of days with a litter box, fresh food and water daily, and a cat bed or pad for the kitten to sleep on. Please have all of the necessary items before receiving your new baby. Your kitten will also need a scratching post, a brush and wide toothed comb,nail clippers and of course some toys. Your kitten will be given several baths and nail trimmings to get him/her used to grooming. We do not advise declawing. If you are considering this, please do some research. A good site is www.declawing.com. An alternative is Soft Paws at www.soft paws.com. If you have the necessary scratching posts or pads available declawing should not be necessary.

Persian cats tend to mat more easily than other breeds.
They should be brushed daily with awide brush and wide comb. The fine undergrowth mats easily if not taken care of. A great tool is the Furminator. They can be purchased on line and at some pet stores for around $20.00. Use it gently but thoroughly once a day. It also greatly reduces the cat hair that you will have in your home. When you take your kitten to your vet please take the vaccination record with you. It is a good idea to keep your kitten away from other pets until his or her first checkup. Persian cat's eyes tend to tear because of the flatter faces. It is normal but they do need to be wiped to prevent staining. There are products on the market for this, but you can use (human) contact lens solution on a cotton ball or tissue and wipe gently. Please check your home for any hazards such as electric cords, small items that they could eat or choke on, open toilet lids, the dryer etc. Be aware that some plants are also dangerous to cats. A list of these is available at the CFA Site.
Having a pet carrier is also a good idea for vet trips etc. Kitty will need a scratching post or pad. Cardboard "Super Scratchers" work great and cost around $10.00. Also available are sisal rope scratching posts.
