If it’s your first time bringing home a cat, you should know that the best time to do this will be when they’re between 8-12 weeks old. During such time, your kitten will have already been weaned from their mother and is ready to create emotional bonds with their pet parents. Owners should take good care of their feline buddy and understand their responsibility. Providing nutrition-packed food, fresh clean water, a comfy home, and most importantly, a loving family.

Kittens are curious critters so allow her the time to explore the house at her own pace. This will make her more at ease with her new environment – getting used to the new sights, sounds, and scents play an important role in developing your kitten’s physical and mental development. Make sure you are there to supervise your cat’s explorations.
