Kitten Care

 
* Please feed Better Brand Foods -High Protein Diet-(Science Diet-Kitten Formula) The ingredients in pet food are listed in descending order by weight from largest to smallest. For example, if chicken is the first ingredient on the label then the pet food contains more chicken than any other ingredient.
Leave out in feeder until kitten is full grown & mix in twice a day (morning and evening)Can wet food

 
* Fresh clean water is a must.  

* NO Cows milk or milk products like cheese,

* HOWEVER, kittens love Goats milk or Kitten milk Once/twice a day-
this a great time to mix in L-Lysine 250mg as kittens 500mg adults to boost immune system
 
* Remember to keep kittens warm -this will be a very stessful time- Cat Clothes or you can use a sock - cut out a hole for the head and larger hole for front feet- it will work great for kittens

* Kittens love to play with lots of toys, scratching posts and climb on trees
* Sphynx & Devon Rex cats do need baths (use baby shampoo) and their ears cleaned-Yeast and oils look like dirt or ear mites- clean with Bio-Groom ear cleaner or a 50/50 Vinegar-water solution (don't clean too deep you don't want to damage the eardrum)  - I also clip front claws at this time.
* Sphynx cats have no eyelashes protect the eyes from dirt use eye cleaner.  If a foreign body is in the eye and is causing eye irritation, use a eye ointment like-(Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment)

* Tip for Sphynx Kittens: Baby wipes work great alternate bathing

* First days keep carrier in same room with food, water and litter box(Fresh Step scoopable). 
  The kitten will come out when comfortable and explore.
* A good Source for these kitten products is Revival Animal and Health(Revivalanimal.com/800-786-4751)

* Please be very careful with cleaning/other products that are poisonious/ hazareous to animals.
