Introduction

It’s not hard to find a kitten. They’re everywhere! It’s harder, though, to find the perfect kitten that’s right for you. Kittens are so cute that they can be overwhelming—so let me help you narrow down your options.

Visit a Shelter

If you’re looking for a new feline friend, visiting a shelter is the best way to find your ideal companion. Shelters have many kittens available for adoption. They can also offer valuable advice on how to care for your kitten and answer any questions that are preventing you from adopting one.

Ask for Recommendations

A great way to find the right kitten is by asking for recommendations. You can ask friends and family members who have cats, or you can ask your vet! Your veterinarian may even have suggestions of reputable breeders they’ve worked with in the past. You could also check out local shelters, as many people are willing to adopt out their kittens at a reduced rate if their pet has been there for more than a month and hasn’t been adopted yet. If you’re interested in adopting from a shelter, remember that some shelters require that you go through an application process before being able to adopt a cat from them (but don’t worry—it’s usually pretty simple).

Additionally, if your city has pet stores that sell kittens (like Petco), these places might also be able to recommend reliable breeders who work with them regularly.

Be Prepared for the new arrival

When the kitten is delivered to your door, you’ll need to be prepared. You’ll want to have:

• A litter box and scoop.
• A scratching post or other safe outlet for your kitten’s scratching needs (besides your furniture).
• A carrier for vet visits and other travel purposes. This will be especially helpful if you live in an apartment building without easy access to an elevator or stairwell, or if stairs are difficult for anyone in your household to navigate due to age or disability.
• Collars with ID tags so that everyone knows who this new furball belongs to!

Kittens are so cute that it’s hard to choose just one!

Looking for the perfect kitten is a lot like shopping for a new outfit. You’re going to want to find a few that you love, but as soon as you do, you’ll start wondering whether it would look better in pink or blue and whether you should go with something more on trend. It can be overwhelming!

Kittens are so cute that it’s hard to choose just one! Most people end up taking home more than one, which is great because kittens are the best companions. But if you’re looking for just one kitty to keep around all the time, here are some things to consider:

• Is this kitty going to fit into your lifestyle? Are they playful? Do they like attention from their human parents? Are they independent and self-sufficient or do they need constant supervision?
• What kind of cat do I want my kitten(s) to grow into someday? Do I want them as part of my family unit or would I rather have them be independent so they can roam freely around the house without being bothered by anyone (or anything)?

If these questions make sense based on how much time we think we’ll spend with our future furry friends then let’s get started looking at some kittens!
