Kitten Wanted

ellenlouise · 23-10-2006, 03:06 PM

My boyfriend is looking for a new member of the family. He has 1 Border collie who is a gentle as anything and is more intrested in sleeping all day than anything else. He has two hamsters which we have brought together and two bunnies. I have just moved out of there house as I have decided to be back at home while studying for my a levels. I have just started back in education after a year out which is another story. Anyway back to the point he has been wanting a kitten for a while. He has just got a full time job and see now that the circumstances are perfect. So any help on advice to help us start on our search would be great.

You shouldn't have any trouble finding a kitten at this time of year.
Cats Protection or RSPCA or Cheltenham Animal Shelter (where my late Tizzie came from

)
Or the local papers, vets surgery notice boards, etc etc

I have heard that black and white kittens find it harder to find homes. Is this true as I am not fussed on what my kitten looks like and if this is the case I would go for a B and W. I will contact my local cats protection league and will keep you updated.

I have already brought kitten bowl mate and kitten toy.

I have made a list of things:-

Cat bed
Scratch post
Toys
Litter tray
Litter
Kitten food
Bowl X2

Is there anything else I may need?

Also would your reccommened Drontal as its a wormer and a flea treatment as I havent used this on my cats I used Frontlin and then have a seperate wormer provided by vet.

Don't forget the poop scoop!

A cat carrier, so you can safely pick the kitten up and take him/her to the vets!

Poop a scoop added to list.

Already have a cat carrier as we have rabbits and they go in there when they need visit to vets.

Went on PAH website today and have written a more exstensive list and prices. Certainly isnt cheap getting a kitten but so worth it.

I have spoken to my local CPL and spoke to a very nice lady she had nothing suitable at the moment but I have left my deatails with her.

Also I have been contacted by someone who thinks her two moggies are pregnant. I would rather rescue as I am not sure about these kittens. I will find out more details, soon.

I was also very naughty today and brough kitten bowl mat and a toy, I won't be telling the OH. He has been thinking about getting a kitten for two years. So I think he is very excited that it finally coming together.

Also I've made a little powerpoint presentation which will be a started kit of care advice for OH to read through.
