I'm a Cat lady!!! No shame in that!!
From my own Three fur babies to the Cats and Kittens I foster for my local SPCA, here are the things that I would love to have and the things I cannot live without to make all fur babies happy and healthy!
Caring for my Foster babies
Foster Cats and kittens often need extra special care. Here are the things that are helpful in my fostering journey!
when I foster either a pregnant mama cat or one who had just had kittens this is my go to food that is good nutrition for both mama and the kittens when they are ready to be weened!
For single foster kittens that are ready to start on hard kibble this Royal Canin Kitten Starter kit is perfect. The kibble easily softens with water for baby to eat.
Miracle nipples are easier for the tiny babies from birth to about 3 weeks to drink their kitten milk. It makes things easier especially when feeding can be every 2 hours.
This is my go to kitten Milk Replacer for all my bottle fed foster kittens. I find it provides what they nutritionally need to grow strong.
Baby kittens need to be safely kept warm and this Snugglesafe Microwave Heating Disc lasts for hours with just a few minutes in the microwave. I find this to be a better alternative than a heating pad.
This is the exact pen I use to foster kittens. It is XL and can easily fit a couple small cat beds, small litter box, food and water dishes as well as room for play. I have had 4 kittens at one time and it was plenty of room.
Yes the kittens may try and eat regular cat litter causing serious harm so I opt for the larger pine pellets until I am sure they will not be tempted to eat it.
Bottle baby kittens will get messy with the kitten milk replacer. But wait till they start to ween to gruel which is a mixture of wet food and kitten milk replacer. You are going to want to have some soft cloths on hand to wipe the messy faces and pa...
Yes it is the cat speaking!! FEED ME!!!
Now we all know that cats will always let you know when they want their food… here are my babies favs! One is on a special diet so I always keep that in mind.
One of my cats use to be on a very expensive prescription diet food and I compared the ingredients and their values and found that this food is very similar and made the switch. We have had no vet visits other than routine and he loves this food so i... is a win win for the both of us!
My guy loves his variety pack and I am happy that I am able to offer him a wet food that is suitable for his special dietary needs!
Two of my cats are not on a special diet like their brother but I still like to give them the same brand and given that both of them is on the heavier side I switched to this variety to see how they do. So far they like it.
Well I have one cat that will not eat pate so I am stuck buying two different kinds of wet food. This Wellness Complete Shreds is her favorite!
My cat the will not eat wet food with any kind of chunks or shreds and does not really like the harder pates I buy her these Fancy Feast Gems because they are softer and more to her liking.
All my fur babies love this brand of squeeze treats. I like to buy them the variety pack so they don't eat the same one all the time.
Duck treats are a fav of all the cats. Now they do not get them often because they are a special treat.
For a quick treat just because I like to offer these Temptations Mix Ups Cat Treats with Chicken Catnip and Cheese. It is different than the usual hard flavored treats.
Providing Superior Comfort
Cat beds, Cardboard houses, Blankets, and everything in between if it is there it belongs to them.
One of the softer beds in the house for my cats. I like that it washes easy and is pretty durable to air biscuits.
This is too cute and I know my cats would love this Ocean themed cat tree!!
I always get my cats some form of cat carboard house. Especially during holidays I like to get them a special one. it usually gets destroyed in a couple of weeks.
Cute, Soft, and gives them a place all to themselves.
Some cats feel better seeing the world from high places and these shelves can make their dreams come true.
What every cat needs at some point if not daily!
Litter boxes, Litter, Brushes, Shampoo and all the other items that are a necessity or just plain useful!
I was fortunate to try this before it was available for sale and I can say that this WORKS! You will not smell the litter box at all if you are using this litter. I still cannot find it in my area but can't wait till I can get this. I will switch asa...
One of my cats has sensitive skin and gets itchy. I noticed that when I started giving her a bath with this she was itching way less. So now this is my go to shampoo for her.
Whenever there is an issue with fleas outside of their regular flea medication I like to use this shampoo as well as other Advantage Flea & Tick Products to take care of the issue.
I like to use this waterless shampoo for quick clean ups without having to give my cats a full on bath.
This is great if you may be worried about your fur baby having some health issues. This Tidy Cats Alert litter is a great affordable option.
