Cat Crates

Tip: You will want to take a cat crate when you pick up your rescue, for each vet visit and when you travel. You may want to initially set up your crate in your new cat space because it will be the only space they are familiar with and may take shelter inside to feel safe. You don’t want to borrow one you will have to return as you will need it for vet appointments and travel.

Cat Blankets & Bedding

Tip: Choose a washable blanket that matches your cat’s fur color to help look as good as possible between washings. Choose a soft comfy fabric that will not get caught in kitty claws.

Cat Beds

Tip: If your kitty spend time outdoors or has not been introduced to a cat bed, they may not be very interested. While some cats love to warm up and nap curling into their bed, others love to hide in a cat cave and get away from the world. Snuggle, soft or a cave.

Cat Food and Water Bowls

Tip: Keep it simple for starters when introduce kitty to their new space. They will learn where there food it served very quickly, so being consistent is a good idea and will build trust.

Cat Collars

Tip: While all cat collars may look very similar, they are actually different. From breakaway collars that are best for indoor/outdoor cats that will release if they are caught navigating nature, flexible elastic banded collars and non-breakaway collars that are best for indoor cats. A Smart cat collar or tag will also help you keep up with kitties that enjoy the outdoors and often wander off.

Cat Litter Boxes

Top: No two kitties are created equal even if they have a reputation of doing things their own way. Some had to learn to survive in nature, while others grew up in a shelter with little touch. While using a little box is very natural for most, helping stray kitties to get used to a litter box is important. Start with an open topped, low side litter box and the most natural textured litter without any scent and then you can introduce litter boxes with additional bells and whistles.

Cat Book Shop – guides to cat rescue, adoption and relationships

Kitten Food and Feeders

Tips: It is a good idea to start with hard cat food. For indoor cats choose a quality brand created the needs of cats who stay inside. For cats that spend time outside, choose a quality brand for outdoor cats. If rescued kittens are under 8 weeks old you want to ensure they are fed mild replacer to ensure they grow to be healthy kittens.

Newborn or abandoned kittens should be bottle-fed using kitten milk replacer (or KMR), which comes in either liquid or powder form. You do not want to use cow’s milk or other human milk options when caring for kittens under 6 weeks old.

Tips: Rescue cats may not play the way you expect them to, try out a few toys and see which ones they react to

Adopting or rescuing a cat is a rewarding but sometimes challenging experience. Whether you’re bringing home a shelter cat or rescuing a stray, patience and understanding are key as each cat has a unique personality and may need time to adjust. A vet checkup is essential for neighborhood rescues, while shelter cats are often vaccinated, spayed, or neutered. Before bringing your new cat or kitten home, create a safe space where they can feel comfortable and start to learn their boundaries. Rescue cats might not play or interact as expected, but with love and patience, they’ll soon relax and thrive in their new environment.
