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.
Teach your kitten the rules
Kittens are curious and active. If they are scratching furniture, redirect them to their scratching post, and praise them when they make the right choice. If they are playing with something they shouldn't, distract them away with a fun toy.
Get to know your kitten’s unique nutritional needs
Your kitten has very different nutritional requirements than a person, so make sure they have the nutrition they need for a healthy start.
Know how much to feed your kitten
Use this kitten food calculator to find a proper feeding schedule, and remember: size, age and breed are also factors, so check with your veterinarian first.
