Kitten Socialization Equipment

Socializing kittens can be a lot of fun, but it’s not without its work.  We recommend these tools to make the tiny wild kittens feel more comfortable, to care for them so they stay healthy, and to protect yourself from sharp little teeth! Use this list of equipment to help you get started on your kitten adventure:

• Confinement pens
• Large dog wire crate
• Cat Condo
• Lightweight nylon portable soft crate (i.e. a daytripper sold for canine transport)
• Bedding materials
• Dens or other safe nesting items
• Litter box and litter
• Kitten food, dry and canned
• Food and water dishes
• Treats, such as human baby food (without onion)
• Interactive toys, such as balls, rope and crinkle toys, and scratching posts
• Radio (tuned to talk radio), or space in a room with common household noise (TV, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner) to help them get used to people sounds
• Nylon front pack, hands-free vest carrier for socializing
• Gloves and towels
• Name and phone number of a trusted veterinarian, just in case!
