Scottish Fold Kitten Care Guide!
Welcoming Your New Scottish Fold Kitten Home!
Bringing home a new kitten is an exciting and heartwarming moment. To help your little one adjust smoothly, we’ve created this simple, luxury-style care guide. These easy steps will keep your kitten safe, comfortable, and happy during the transition into their new home.
Kittens are curious explorers, just like toddlers. A quick home check makes a big difference.
-
Place any unsafe plants out of reach.
-
Choose plant soil without chemicals or fertilizers — kittens may taste it while exploring.
-
Put away small items such as hair ties, thread, ribbons, beads, foil, and tiny plastic pieces.
-
Keep long strings or tinsel out of reach, as they can cause tummy issues if swallowed.
A little preparation creates a cozy and safe environment from day one.
Everyday Home Safety
Kittens don’t understand danger yet, so a few small habits can prevent accidents.
-
Keep windows secured with strong screens.
-
Watch the front door — kittens are quick and silent.
-
Always check the fridge, washer, dryer, and closets before closing.
These small routines protect your kitten while they learn the layout of their new home.
Holiday Safety Tips
Holidays bring decorations — and lots of kitten temptation!
-
Make sure your Christmas tree is secure and stable.
-
Avoid tinsel, ribbons, metallic strands, and glass ornaments.
-
Vacuum real tree needles frequently to prevent stomach irritation.
With simple adjustments, you can enjoy the season safely with your new furry family member.
Litter Box Basics
Your kitten will settle quickly if the litter box is easy to find and comfortable to use.
-
Place it in a quiet, low-traffic area.
-
Use natural, unscented litter — gentle on sensitive paws and safer if ingested.
-
Scoop daily and replace the litter completely every 5–7 days.
Clean and calm spaces help kittens build good habits early.
Feeding & Hydration
Consistent, high-quality nutrition supports healthy growth.
-
Keep dry food available 24/7.
-
Offer only filtered or bottled water.
-
Feed wet food (½ can per meal) and refrigerate leftovers.
-
Warm slightly before serving or mix with warm water.
This ensures your kitten eats well, stays hydrated, and feels comfortable.
Gentle Grooming
Introduce grooming early so your kitten grows up loving it.
-
Wipe eyes gently only if needed.
-
Clean ears using vet-approved products.
-
Trim nails every 1–2 weeks to keep them comfortable.
Regular care builds trust and keeps your kitten looking and feeling their best.
Sleeping Routine
Your kitten is already used to sleeping through the night.
-
No night light is needed.
-
Provide a soft, warm bed or blanket.
-
Give them a quiet corner where they feel safe.
A peaceful sleep area helps your kitten adjust quickly to their new home.
Playtime & Enrichment
Play is essential for physical and emotional development.
-
Great toys include soft toys, tunnels, wand toys, and small balls.
-
Use string or ribbon toys only under supervision.
Daily play strengthens your bond and helps your kitten grow into a confident, happy adult.
First Vet Visit
For peace of mind, schedule a vet visit within the first three days after bringing your kitten home.
Bring a fresh stool sample for parasite testing. Even though your kitten comes from a fully monitored and tested cattery, checking again ensures the best start in their new family.
