1. 🏡 Prepare Your Home

• Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet spot with a cozy bed, food, and water.

• Remove Hazards: Hide cords, small objects, and toxic plants (like lilies).

• Litter Box Setup: 1 box per cat, plus one extra. Scoop daily, clean weekly.

2. 🥣 Feed Them Right

• Age-Appropriate Food: Kittens need different food than adults or seniors.

• Fresh Water Daily: Keep water bowls clean and full.

• Avoid Human Foods: No chocolate, onions, or caffeine—these are toxic to cats.

3. 🧶 Keep Them Entertained

• Toys & Scratching Posts: Prevent boredom and protect your furniture!

• Interactive Playtime: 10–15 minutes a day is perfect to bond and exercise.

4. 🧼 Grooming & Hygiene

• Brush Regularly: Especially for long-haired breeds.

• Trim Nails Every Few Weeks: Or ask your vet/groomer for help.

• Clean Litter Box Frequently: Cats are super clean and appreciate it!

5. 🏥 Vet Visits & Health

• Vaccinations & Checkups: Schedule your first vet visit ASAP.

• Spay/Neuter: Helps prevent health issues and unwanted litters.

• Flea & Tick Prevention: Ask your vet what’s best for your area.

6. ❤️ Build a Bond

• Give Them Time: Some cats are shy at first—let them come to you.

• Respect Their Space: Cats love affection, but also their independence.

• Talk to Them: Yep, cats recognize your voice and love routines.
