1. Environmental Safety: Eliminate Hidden Hazards

Ø  Electrical Protection: Secure loose wires with cable organizers and cover outlets to prevent chewing accidents.

Ø  Window Safety: Install sturdy screens or nets on balconies/windows to avoid falls.

Ø  Toxic Substances: Remove lilies, ivy, and household chemicals (e.g., detergents) from accessible areas.

2. Health Management: Grooming & Medical Care

Ø  Nail Trimming: Use a nail clipper with anti-splash guard to safely trim claws after 3 months of age, reducing stress and mess.

Ø  Vaccination & Deworming: Schedule first vaccines at 8 weeks and deworming at 2 months with kitten-specific products.

Ø  Diet Transition: Gradually switch to new food over 7 days, supplementing with kitten milk replacer if needed.

3. Behavioral Adaptation: Reduce Stress & Destruction

Ø  Safe Zone Setup: Confine the kitten to a quiet room with a bed, litter box, and toys for initial acclimation.

Ø  Scratching Solutions: Provide scratching posts to redirect natural clawing behavior away from furniture.

Ø  Positive Interaction: Use wand toys and treats to encourage play, avoiding finger-teasing to prevent biting habits.
