| Kitty Care Tips |
Your kitten was being fed Iams brand dry and canned kitten food. We do
recommend that you feed your kitten a high quality food. If you wish to change
brands, it should be done over time by mixing the new food with the old and
gradually decreasing the amount of the former food. We would be glad to send
some of our food home with you if you wish to transition your kitten to a
different brand of food. Do not give your kitten cow's milk. It can cause stomach
upset and diarrhea. We use Tidy Cat cat litter. When your kitten is a year old you
can switch to an adult cat food. 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. Let them slowly explore
other areas of your home. Please have all of the necessary items before receiving
your new baby. Your kitten will also need a scratching post, and a 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. Click here to learn more about basic kitten care: All About Cute

Persian cats tend to mat more easily than most other breeds. They should be
combed daily with a wide toothed metal comb. The fine undergrowth mats easily
if not taken care of. It is a good idea to keep your kitten away from other pets
until his or her first checkup. Persian cats' 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 electrical 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. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by
