Congratulations! You’ve got a new kitten and you’re ready to take him home. Whether you adopted your cat or bought them from a breeder, you’re in for a real treat. While you’re squealing over your new bundle of joy, there are a couple of things to consider when getting your house ready for a new kitty. At My Pet Savings, we have some tips to make a smooth transition for your cat!
- Provide a comfortable, quiet area away from household traffic with a cardboard box lined with sheets or a nice cat bed to create a safe place for your new kitten to feel secure and warm.
- Provide a scratching post for your kitten to use to prevent clawing of your furniture.
- “Kitten proof” your home by anchoring drape or blind cords and closing the washing and drying machines as your cat may snuggle in there for a warm nap.
- If your kitten meows or is stressed out because he misses his mother, pick him up and talk to him in a soothing voice to ease the stress. Wrapping a ticking clock around a blanket and placing it by his bed can also ease the stress as it will remind him of his mother’s heartbeat.
- Have lots of fun!

Congratulations! You’ve got a new puppy and you’re ready to take him home. Whether you adopted your pup or bought them from a breeder, you’re in for a real treat. While you’re squealing over your new bundle of joy, there are a couple of things to consider to get your house ready for a new puppy. At My Pet Savings, we have some tips to make a smooth transition for your pup!
- Puppy-proof your home. Find objects around your house that your puppy may chew on. These include electrical cords and wires, shoes, and other objects on the floor.
- Establish which words mean what train. Does “down” mean sit, or lay down on the ground?
- Take your new pup to their toilet area immediately and have him explore his new home. Give your new pup plenty of family time, but also time alone to get used to it.
- Let your pup see and sniff out his new bed. Keep his new bed in a safe, warm area near your bed.
- Have lots of fun!
