Please make sure you keep all cupboards closed that contain cleaners and medicines and any poisons. Do not spray insect spray anywhere your kitten may go as fly sprays are extremely poisonous.

Kittens are very inquisitive so don't leave cords (ie., iron) hanging as they like to play with these and an iron falling on a kitten could mean disaster. Don't leave small pieces of children's toys around (like Leggo) these can choke kittens, also needles threaded with cotton is another hazard. Always keep the lid down on the toilet as kittens like water and have been known to drown in a toilet bowl as they can’t get out if they fall in. Ensure that children are supervised when around the kitten. Make sure that power and telephone cords are out of reach or covered in a special plastic wrap that you can purchase. Also make sure that washing machine and tumble drier doors are kept shut at all times

When your kitten arrives home, confine your kitten to one room with a litter tray, food, water and bedding and give your kitten time to become familiar with their new surroundings. After a few days you can gradually increase the area your kitten can explore and let your new kitten meet any other pets you have. This introduction should be slow. Don't force your existing pet to be friendly, he/she was here first and your new kitten will persist in making friendships. This is normal behaviour. After your kitten has settled in, introduce your kitten to your own Vet.
