Start Your To-Do List by scheduling a vet wellness check early and decide which family members will handle feeding, litter & playtime.

Prep the other pets by letting them smell each other’s items before they’re introduced.

Buy Necessary Supplies like an ID tag, collar, litter box, water/food bowls, grooming supplies, a scratching post and toys.

Stock up on a good quality food.

Start Litter Training ASAP to help avoid unwanted accidents.

Exercise Body and Mind with toys and regular playtime to keep claws away from your furniture.
