Early Kitten Care.
This starts before you collect your kitten.
What will you need? Well you will need to carry on
with the diet that your kitten has had prior to your
collecting him. A diet sheet will be given to you when
you collect your kitten but we can take time to
discuss your kitten care and die t before you collect
him, so you can be prepared.
Should you wish to make changes to your kittens diet,
this is possible but not recommended for the first few weeks. Changes should be made very,very gradually so as not to upset him or his tummy.
Your kitten will need to eat little and often as his tummy is tiny. As he gets older he will eat larger quantities but less often. So you need to have ready what he has been previously been fed on.
Food bowls, water bowls (or fountains) are essential items also, have these at home before you collect you kitten. Kittens need access to clean water 24hours a day. He can have milk produced especially for kittens but don't give him cows milk, as this may upset his tummy.
You will need a litter tray. Your kitten will be trained to use a litter tray when you pick him up. So that he does not get confused when he arrives in his new home, it is a good idea to have the same litter that he has been previously used to. Details of this will also be provided.
Your kitten would have been inoculated against Flu and Enteritis. You will be given a vaccination record card. This should be kept safely, along with all other documentation you will receive.
Your kitten will have been wormed and given a preparations to guard him against fleas. You will need to keep up with these precautions/medications. When you take your kitten to the vet for his first health check, ask your vet about what products he would recommend that you use. You kitten will also have six weeks insurance cover with Pet Plan, please see notes on kitten pages about insurance.
Using products that your vet recommends is the best option for your kitten, much better (in my opinion) than products you can buy over the counter. I believe this due to the fact that the vets treatments are prescribed and directed. Your vet will weigh your kitten and advise you accordingly re dosage and frequency (taking into consideration other pets you may have in your family). This I think it is essential to the overall health of you kitten to manage (under the direction of your vet) preventable illnesses and infestations.

Any kitten that goes to a new home goes to that new home from me, to be loved as a pet, never as a cat for breeding.
Should you wish to show a kitten breed by me you need to be aware that 'show kittens' go to selected homes only.
It is also a very good idea, before making such a decision, to join a local/ regional cat club, before contemplating showing.
The Bedford and District and The Cambridge Cat Club have been a huge support to me and have really aided me with their tolerance.
These regional clubs do know what they are talking about and have the considered views of many experts over many years.
For me these clubs have been of much more assistance, than any breed club. So do what's best for you.
My kitten owners will know I am happy to assist and I don't vanish.
So keep intouch.
The birth and all progress of this litter has been recorded.
Kitten number 5!!
He was an effortless breach presentation.
PLEASE NOTE
My kittens have only now become available, as until now there has been a waiting list. My Ragdolls are my pets and will always remain to be. However I have too look at the bigger picture and make the decision to allow them to have kittens. The kittens are precious to me and I feel utterly responsible for them, therefore they are never placed into new homes without much consideration.
The first kitten is born. This is a crucial time for the new Mum to lick the kitten, as this stimulates its own breathing. Its time for her to also chew through the unbilical cord.
Kittens are full of self-belief and expectation! So you will need to think for him.

Bringing your kitten home
When your kitten is introduced to his new home a quiet and safe environment is essential. Cats do not like loud noises, so for the first few days try and limit noise and visitors, until your kitten is feeling a little more confident within his new surroundings.
Place his bed somewhere quiet. Should he retreat to his bed allow him to stay/sleep there quietly for a while. He will come out and socialise as soon as it feels safe again. The beds that are enclosed (Igloo or Tipi designs) are a good purchase for your kittens first bed, as your kitten will feel especially safe if he can snuggle down somewhere enclosed. I can provide you with a *bed. If you wish. This *bed will be introduced to your kitten at least a week before you are due to take him home. His new bed would have been played in and slept in with his brothers and sisters. The advantage of this is that your kitten will be familiar with his bed and when you take him (and his bed home) things will not feel so strange. His bed will be somewhere that he is used to and naturally, when feeling a little insecure, he can retreat there. If you are interested in the *snuggle-bed please ask.
Kittens are generally independent and playfully, so its good idea to put yourself in their paws when you first bring him home; looking for dangers and other obstacles.Keep your kitten safe by keeping all *dangerous substances out of reach. keep all cables, that could come into 'chewing-range', out of his way. Keep the lids shut down on toilets too. Kittens will explore everything and do not know where danger is, so think ahead and limit all possible risks.
*Read more about poisons and poisoning on page 3 of 4 of the kitten pages.
Curiosity killed the cat ! ! ! !
So please, when not in use, keep doors of washing machines closed, keep lids down on toilet seats, keep freezer lids/doors shut.
To the left:- These kittens are only a few moments old. They are placed on a heated pad to keep warm, close to their Mum whilst she continues to deliver.
Ragdoll kittens are all born without colour or markings. The colour and markings develop as the kitten grows.
Such a clever Mummy and contented kittens
