New Kitten Checklist: Everything You Need for Your New Kitten

Bringing home a new kitten is one of life's little joys — those tiny paws, the endless curiosity, the first wobbly zoomies across the room. But before your kitten arrives, a little preparation goes a long way. Having the right supplies ready makes those first days smoother for both of you, and helps your kitten settle in feeling safe and cared for.

Here's a complete new-kitten checklist for pet parents in Bangladesh — everything to buy first, and a few tips to get you started.

1. Kitten food (the most important thing)

Kittens aren't just small cats — they need more protein, fat and calories to fuel all that growing. Always start with a proper kitten formula, not adult food.

Stock up on quality kitten dry food as the daily staple, and add some kitten wet food for extra moisture and easy eating — especially helpful for very young kittens just moving on from milk. Feed small meals several times a day, since kittens have tiny stomachs and big appetites, and keep fresh water available at all times. Feed a kitten formula until around 12 months, then transition gradually to adult food.

2. Litter box and litter

Kittens usually pick up litter training quickly, especially if the box is easy to access. Get a low-sided litter box your kitten can climb into easily, and a good cat litter — a soft, low-dust option works well for little paws. Place the box somewhere quiet and easy to reach, and show your kitten where it is on day one.

3. Food and water bowls

Choose shallow, sturdy food and water bowls — stainless steel or ceramic are best, as they're hygienic and gentle on your kitten's chin. Keep food and water a little apart, as many cats prefer not to drink right next to their food.

4. A cosy bed or hiding spot

A new home can feel big and overwhelming. A soft bed or enclosed house gives your kitten a safe, warm place to retreat and rest — and kittens sleep a lot. Place it somewhere quiet, away from busy foot traffic.

5. Toys for play and development

Play is how kittens learn, exercise and burn off energy. A few cat toys — feather teasers, small balls, and catnip toys — will keep your kitten active and happy, and give you hours of entertainment too. Interactive play also helps you bond and stops your kitten from turning your hands and feet into targets.

6. Grooming basics

Getting your kitten used to gentle grooming early makes life easier later. A soft comb or brush keeps their coat healthy and reduces hairballs, and starting young helps them enjoy the routine. Nail trims and the occasional bath (with cat-safe products) can come as they grow.

7. Health essentials

Kittens need a little extra care to stay healthy. Talk to your vet about a vaccination and deworming schedule early on, and browse our health and care products for dewormers, supplements and grooming essentials. Always follow the pack instructions and check with your vet about what's right for your kitten's age and weight.

Tips for your kitten's first few days

• Start small. Keep your kitten in one quiet room at first, with food, water, litter and a bed, then let them explore the rest of the home gradually.
• Be patient. A little hiding is normal — let your kitten come to you in their own time.
• Keep a routine. Regular meals and gentle play help your kitten feel secure.
• Kitten-proof the space. Tuck away loose wires, small objects and anything they could swallow.
• Lots of gentle handling. The more positive contact now, the friendlier and more confident your cat will be.
