Preparing Your Home for Your New British Shorthair

Welcoming a British Shorthair kitten is exciting! But before bringing them home, ensure your house is ready and safe. Here's a checklist of what to do:

1. Safe Space

Designate a quiet and enclosed area for the kitten to adapt gradually. A bedroom works well for the first days.

2. Remove Hazards

Eliminate or secure:

Cleaning products and medications
Electrical cords
Toxic plants
Small items that could be swallowed

3. Litter Box Setup

Provide a clean, spacious litter box. Place it away from feeding areas, in a quiet spot.

4. Scratching Posts and Toys

British Shorthairs need to scratch! Provide sturdy scratchers and toys to keep them engaged and your furniture safe.

5. Familiar Items

Use blankets or toys with the breeder's scent to ease the kitten's adaptation.

A prepared environment ensures your cat feels safe, loved, and ready to explore!
