Meet Gretchen

Little bit about Gretchen, the Rescuoodle

Like all pets, kittens have some basic needs. Start out by giving your new kitten the same type of food it has previously been eating. Make sure that your kitten always has fresh water available to drink.

If you wish to purchase a kitten, there are some basic things you need:

A good quality kitten diet

Fresh water available at all times

A soft bristled brush

A soft bed

A litter box

The first few weeks in a kitten's new home are the most important ones in terms of socialising and bonding with a human. One important caution is don't let your kitten start to associate your hands with a play toy. Doing so can develop into bad habits of scratching and biting fingers. Hands are for holding, stroking and gentle hugs. Toys are for rough play.

Be sure to praise them profusely for being a good kitten.
