WElcoming home your new kitten

Find out more

 Bringing home a BellaLu kitten is such an exciting adventure, and we're here to help make those first few days and weeks as smooth and joyful as possible for both you and your new tiny furball! Think of us as your go-to guide for all things kitten-tastic. From settling in to mastering the litter box, we've got you covered with tips that will have your little one thriving in no time. 

kitten care tips

preparing for arrival

 When your precious BellaLu kitten first steps paw into their new home, it's best not to overwhelm them with a whole house to explore right away. Imagine stepping into a giant, unfamiliar world! Instead, prepare a smaller, quiet, and kitten-proofed "sanctuary" for their initial adjustment. A bathroom or a spare bedroom works perfectly! Equip this cozy space with everything they need: a litter box (low-sided for easy access!), fresh water, food, and a selection of fun toys. This smaller environment helps them feel secure and allows them to gradually acclimate to new sights, sounds, and smells at their own pace. Spend gentle, quiet time with them in this space, letting them come to you for cuddles and play. This calm introduction sets the stage for a confident and happy kitten who will soon be ready to explore the rest of their amazing new home! 

Making Friends

 When it comes to introducing your new BellaLu kitten to existing pets or children, patience is truly a virtue! For other furry family members, a gradual approach is key. Start by letting them sniff each other under a closed door, then progress to supervised visual introductions through a baby gate. Keep initial meetings short, sweet, and positive, always ending on a good note. For little humans, teach them gentle handling and the importance of respecting your kitten's space, especially during nap times. Supervise all interactions closely, and remember, a happy kitten is a kitten who feels safe and loved by everyone in their new home! 

Litter Box Etiquette

 Litter training a BellaLu kitten is usually a breeze, as they're often quick learners! We recommend starting with a low-sided litter box that's easy for your little one to hop into, placed in a quiet, accessible spot. Show them the box as soon as they arrive, gently placing them in it so they can explore. Consistency is key – after meals, naps, and playtime, gently guide them to their "royal throne." Praise them profusely when they use it correctly! Keep the litter box sparkling clean, as our fastidious BellaLu kittens prefer a fresh environment, which encourages good habits from day one. 

Feeding Your Furry Foodie

 Our BellaLu kittens come to you having already started on a fantastic diet, and we'll provide you with all the specifics! We highly recommend sticking to the same high-quality food we've been feeding them for at least the first few weeks to avoid any tummy upsets. If you plan to switch foods, do it gradually over several days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old. Remember, a happy, well-fed kitten is a healthy, playful kitten, ready for all sorts of adventures! Always provide fresh, clean water in a sturdy bowl. 

Playtime

 Siamese and Bengal kittens are super smart and incredibly playful, so get ready for some serious fun! Providing a variety of toys is essential to keep their clever minds and agile bodies entertained. Think interactive toys like feather wands (they'll chase for ages!), puzzle feeders that challenge their brains, and even crinkle balls they can bat around. Regular playtime sessions aren't just about burning off energy; they also strengthen your bond and provide vital mental stimulation for your brilliant BellaLu kitten. Remember to put away string or small objects that could be swallowed. 

The Scoop on Grooming & Health

 While Siamese and Bengal cats both have short, easy-care coats, a little regular grooming goes a long way! Gentle brushing a couple of times a week helps keep their fur sleek and reduces shedding. It's also a fantastic bonding experience! Get them used to nail trims early on with a good quality clipper – just the very tip! And don't forget their dental health. Regular vet check-ups are super important for keeping your BellaLu kitten in tip-top shape. We'll send you home with their vaccination records and deworming information, and it's vital to schedule their next vet visit soon after they arrive. A healthy kitten is a happy kitten, ready for a lifetime of purrs and cuddles!
