items As a pet parent of eight rescue animals, there are a few things I cannot do without. I've made a list here of some of the most important items (grooming tools, cleaning tools, etc.) that really helped simplify my life.

Cat grooming gloves like this one are really easy to use. Just slip one on and pet them like you normally would. I use these on my more skittish and nervous rescue cats because other grooming tools scare them.
Cat Grooming Gloves
A slicker brush with retractable bristles is much more convenient for long-haired cats or furrier cats. I use these on some of my rescues with more fur, and I also have a friend with Persian cats who swears by these. These brushes are also really eas...
Slicker Brushes For Cats
If you have cats, you know that cat fur gets on EVERYTHING. I used to constantly have problems with cat fur getting into my laptop keys or inside the USB ports, so I started using a mini vacuum cleaner on it. Made things instantly better — now I don'...
Laptop Vacuum
Our vet recommended this floor cleaner to keep the house clean of fleas, ticks, and mites. It even has a pleasant, subtle citrus smell
Kennel Wash 1000 ML | Pet Floor Cleaner
We have a tiled floor with a few non-slip rugs in some places, and this robot vacuum cleaner works wonders. Instead of having to spend 3 hours every day sweeping up dog and cat fur and then mopping the house, I can run this every day and finish my ot...
ILIFE A12 Pro Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo
I have SEVEN cats. Playing with them with traditional toys becomes exhausting because I get tired much quicker than they do. That's why I got this laser toy — so that I can play with them and make them run around while I sit in one place. The battery...
Laser Pointer For Cats
I genuinely have no idea what I would do without a lint roller. The amount of fur I find on clothes that have been INSIDE my closet is ridiculous. This doesn't remove everything, but it removes the majority of the cat fur on my clothes.
Lint Rollers for Pet Hair, Sticky Remover
If you're lazy and don't want to clean dust all the time, a HEPA Air purifier is the way to go. This one is suitable for smaller rooms and has helped reduce my father's fur allergy. I'm also planning on getting a bigger one for the living room becaus...
Levoit HEPA Air Purifier
I moved into a house with a staircase last year, and my dumb little dog could not walk down the stairs without slipping down the first few steps and then taking a flying leap off the last few. To prevent him from falling off, we got these mats for th...
Anti Slip Mats For Stairs
This is one of the best cat carriers for cats up to 5-6kg. It has handles that you can attach a strap to so that you can sling it over your shoulder. The two doors also make it very easy to get fussy cats in one way or another
AmazonBasics Two Door Top Load Pet Carrier
When I first got my dog, I used to carry poop bags and use those to pick up his poop. But it was pretty gross having to hold onto it until I found a place to throw it. This poop scooper makes it much easier to pick up and hold onto dog poop until you...
Poop Scooper
I've bought multiple cat scratching pads and posts before, and I've noticed that all my cats prefer to reach up on a post to scratch. Very few use a scratching mat set on the floor.
This scratching post has a more sturdy design, so it doesn't tip ov...
Cat Scratching Post
I've seen friends use those vinyl furniture protectors, but I've never liked how they look. Instead, I prefer this fabric protector that you can stick onto your furniture so that the cats scratch the protector instead of your sofa. When the fabric st...
Cat Couch Protector
A lavender gel like this helps reduce the cat litter smell in the house
Odor Removal Lavender Gel
This isn't specifically for the pets, but I've mostly stopped using spray deodorants or perfumes since getting pets. Perfumes make my dog sneeze and my cats hate the smell. Instead, I switched to Roll Ons, because they reduce body odor without also f...
Nivea Roll On
I used to keep water in a regular bowl, but it got stagnant and dirty quickly. Now I use this water fountain because it keeps the water fresh for much longer. The spout also makes it easier for my cats to drink water
