The crates we use for shipping your kitten.
PP20 for adults or more then one kitten. The pink crate is a PP10 for one kitten.
. We alternate between raw meals & tinned meals. Your kitten will need milk for growing bones & teeth. Never offer cows milk as this will upset their tummies. Use Whiskers Plus or Pets Own Milk from the supermarket.
Dry biscuits are on offer 24 hours a day. Use a good quality biscuit and not the ones with artificial colour & flavour. We feed Royal Canin (Mother & Baby, kitten & British Shorthair Adult) available from Pet Shops & Vets and on line. Kittens need four small wet meals per day or 2 larger meals per day. Breakfast & dinner. Your kitten is vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Cat Flu at 8 weeks of age and just over 11 weeks of age. You can give a third vaccine a month after the second vaccine . You will need to booster vaccine at 12 months of age and then every year for life.
Your kitten was wormed at 6, 8 and 11 weeks of age and will need to be wormed every 3 months for life. Your kitten will be desexed before arriving at your home as well as micro-chipped. We now use, Allpet PooWee kitty litter and find this excellent for clumping.
I highly recommend a piece or two of cat furniture and scratching posts. Kittens and cats love to play and sleep on them & it will save your furniture from claws. Claws can be clipped every 4 weeks with nail clipper. Only clip up to the live part.
Kittens will go through many stages of teething and like to bite & chew. I recommend cardboard boxes with holes cut in them. The kittens will chew on the boxes and play for hours.
Make sure there is never any string or threads lying about as kittens will eat them and can get them stuck & need Veterinary assistance to get removed.
British have a thick coat and need to be brushed at least once a week. I brush my cats every day with a Slicker brush (bent metal teeth) and they love it.
British make excellent indoor cats and are more than happy to stay close by. An outside cat enclosure is an asset to keep your feline friend safe from cars, attacks, being stolen & disease. I wish you years of happiness together.
