New Kitten Quick Check List of What You Need

Before Your Kitten Arrives Home

Quick Shopping List
Carry Cage  I have cages available from my wholesaler currently $35
Toilet Tray I advise the use of a covered tray but without the door put on. Again I usually have these available from my wholesaler for $45. Devon are very enthusiastic when it comes to burying their wastes!
Litter Your kitten is used to wood pellets used for wood pellet fires. These are brilliant and reasonably priced. You need only barely cover the bottom of the toilet tray.
You can call the manufacturer on 0800 pellet (0800 735538) if you are having trouble finding these.
Food/Food Dish  Your kitten has been raised on Whiskas Advance kitten food and will need a good quality kitten food until he/she is 9 months old. Raw chicken necks are great for their teeth and yes they are already big enough to devour these!
Spray Bottle This is pretty useful, a small garden shop type spray bottle, set on jet to squirt your kitten when he/she is caught chewing on your steak, climbing your curtains etc. If you say 'NO' they will start to listen to the command even without the suirt (on a good day!)
A Scratch Pole.  Preferably with cut pile carpet or sisal (rope) The pole needs to be anchored on a large solid base and be stable, and at least as tall as a cat on it's hind legs arms stretched out, so a good 700-800mm high. The fabric cat towers are pretty but not that serviceable.
Toys I find kittens adore the felt catnip mice and seem to prefer green and red. Anything that makes crunching noises like crushed paper etc will work well as a toy. Devons like to retrieve so something they can carry is often a hit.
A Good Vet Ask around while you are waiting for your kitten to see who local animal lovers recommend. Best to think ahead.
Good Neighbours Devons love people, not just their people, pays to just let your lovely neighbours know you have a very busy kitten arriving.
A Sense of Humour  You'll need it!
