items i just adopted a kitten, and these are all the things (except miscellaneous toys) i bought to take care of her!
cat fur ends up everywhere, so you need something to remove it!
Pet Hair Remover Lint Cleaner Pro - Purple
i chose this because of the mesh vents and the fact that it can open on the top side. a hard carrier would probably be more ideal though.
Henkelion Airline Approved Soft Pet Carrier
if you're using litter that tracks, i would recommend this mat. it reduces the amount of litter that just falls on the ground, so you don't have to sweep/vacuum as much
GORILLA GRIP Honeycomb Cat Litter Mat 24x15
i thought this would be cute as a bed! it's so soft and really easy to assemble.

i decided to get horizontal scratching boards as well. this is a 2-pack!

Dog Poop Bags Refill Rolls - 100% Leak-Proof & Extra Strong
my sister just used this litter when she lived here at home with her cat. she just left this when she moved, so i decided to use the rest of it. it clumps well and masks odors too.
