Kittens
What should I feed my kitten?
Kittens are baby carnivores with specialised needs. Kittens naturally wean off their mother’s milk at around 8-12 weeks of age.
How should I look after my new kitten?
Congratulations on the recent addition to your household! Now that you have a kitten to care for there are many things to consider. One of the most important things to do is to arrange to take your kitten to the veterinarian for a general health check.
How do I care for newborn kittens and their mother?
The RSPCA strongly recommends that you seek veterinary advice to ensure that your cat and kittens receive the best care possible. Following birth, newborn kittens and their mother are very vulnerable.
How should I introduce my new cat or kitten to the family dog?
First consider if it would be safe and appropriate to have both a dog and cat as part of your family. While dogs and cats can live together in harmony and even become friends, in some cases individual dogs may not be compatible with cats.
What vaccinations should my cat receive?
Vaccinations are an important part of caring for your cat. Vaccines provide protection from some diseases such as enteritis (feline panleukopaenia) and cat flu (feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus).
