New Cat Supplies
We had to get all the supplies when we first brought them home, but these are the things they still absolutely love months later!
We got the one with 2 hammocks and they love it! It's one of their go-to spots to sleep

This is $5 and keeps them occupied forever! One of our cats loves it and will play with it for 45 minutes straight.

Having places for them to hide is so important! They love to sleep and play in these as well

CATSTAGES Tower of Tracks Cat Toy
This is another fav! They love to sit in the center and move the ball around
