Kitten Shop

Kittens are cute, cuddly and oh-so-curious. Their playful natures and adorable antics are sure to keep you entertained—and inspire you to provide the best possible kitten care. But as a new pet parent, what new kitten supplies will you need?

Of course, you’ll need food—it’s different from adult food, with more calories, fat and protein to help them grow up strong. Our kitten store sells some of the best kitten food brands with optimal nutrition and great flavors. Kittens can often eat loaf food before they’re able to eat kibble, so you may want to purchase both. You’ll even find a selection of formula and milk replacers for kitties not yet old enough for solid food. Don’t forget your food and water bowls, too.

What are some other essentials? Cat litter comes to mind—it’s something kitties of all ages need. There are many kinds of litter, including clumping, dust-free and natural. You can experiment to find the type your cat likes the most. You may also want to experiment with their bed type. Some cats prefer round beds, while others like to stretch out. Some like perches, while others like to be enclosed.

No list of kitten supplies is complete without toys. Kittens use play to learn about their environment and socialize, helping them grow into well-balanced adults. Feather teasers, balls, catnip hiders and mouse toys are classics, and there are also mylar toys, which provide a satisfying crunchy sound, and interactive toys. Stock up to help keep your kitty entertained.

Young cats are so adorable—they can even make shopping for new kitten essentials a fun time. With the right supplies and knowledge, you can master kitten care and raise your pet to be happy and well-behaved.
