A little guidance

Choosing kitten essentials: the new-kitten starter kit

The day-one shortlist

Have these ready: a litter tray (plus a spare) sited away from food, shallow bowls, a cosy bed in a quiet corner, a scratching post to start the right habit early, a carrier for the journey and vet trips, and safe kitten toys for play that channels the biting.

A water fountain encourages good hydration habits from the start. Our new-kitten hub covers settling them in calmly.

Set up for a confident kitten

Start small: one quiet room with everything they need, so a whole house does not overwhelm them. Resource placement matters — keep litter, food and water apart, and give them a high or hidden spot to retreat to.

Choose breakaway collars and avoid loose-string toys left out unsupervised. Safe basics beat a pile of novelties every time.

Everything here is chosen to be genuinely useful in everyday life with your pet — quality-checked, fairly priced and shipped tracked across the UK. For any health concern, your vet is always the best first port of call.

Common questions

What does a new kitten need?

A litter tray (plus a spare), food and water bowls, a bed, a scratching post, a carrier, kitten-appropriate food, and safe toys. A water fountain and a breakaway collar with ID are great additions.

How many litter trays for one kitten?

Two is ideal — the one-per-cat-plus-one rule — placed in separate, quiet spots away from food and water.

Is microchipping a kitten required?

Cat microchipping is now law in England, so plan it in with your vet alongside vaccinations and neutering. A collar with an ID tag is a useful visible back-up.
