Kitten Care Guides
Kittens grow fast — they go from tiny, wobbly furballs to fully coordinated climbers in a matter of weeks. Getting the basics right during those early months sets your kitten up for a healthy, well-adjusted life. Our guides cover everything from the first night home to their first birthday.
What We Cover
- Bringing kitten home — Setting up a safe room, kitten-proofing, and managing the first few days
- Feeding — Kitten food recommendations, feeding frequency by age, and when to switch to adult food
- Vaccinations — Core vaccination schedule for Australian kittens, costs, and timing
- Socialisation — Handling, exposure to different people and environments, and building confidence
- Litter training — Most kittens know instinctively, but here’s how to ensure success
- Health milestones — Desexing timing, microchipping, parasite prevention, and early health checks
- Play and enrichment — Safe toys, play styles by age, and preventing biting during play
Kittens are naturally curious and will try to eat, climb, and squeeze into everything. Our guides help you provide a safe, stimulating environment while protecting both the kitten and your furniture.
