Nav,
Welcome to kittendom and TDK land. We are all thing fluffy! Your wee girl is soo precious.
Here’s a couple of basic links. I like the website because they give out current information.
It says you should prepare a Safe Room for a few days up to a week. Given the size of house, I would make hers a permanent safe room. When you make her bed, put soft, squishy fabrics and a stuffed pet of the same fabric. This way she can knead and snuggle. Make one a shirt/sweaters of yours so gets your scent. If she has trouble sleeping, put a manual alarm clock in with her. It mimics mom’s heartbeat. Turn the alarm off, of course.
When you set up her litter box make sure to use non-clumping, unscented litter. Kittens (like children) want to taste everything. Clumping litter can be eaten and built up in her tummy creating serious problems. Now, using the litter box is second nature to most cats. Training kittens to use a litter box is usually as easy as showing them where it is and dropping them in. When youโre introducing your new cat to your home, the litter box should be one of your first stops. Let her sniff it a bit, and then place her inside it. She may dig around a bit, or she may hop out. If she hops out, place her inside it again in an hour or two. Make sure you put her in right after meals. Cats will shun the litter box if itโs not in an acceptable spot. Position it in a quiet, low-traffic location that your cat can access at all times. Do not place it near her food and water. Laundry rooms are not optimal locations because of the noise produced by the appliances. When she’s a bit older you can introduce her a hooded box if you’re so inclined. Some cats love hooded boxes and enjoy the privacy…some get scared of the enclosed space. If she does get scared you will have to retrain her to use an open box again.
I’m not sure how old she is but you give her Goats’ milk in a dish (Cows’ milk is not easily digested because it has high lactose.) It has probiotics, low lactose and doesn’t upset tummies. This would be a good idea because she is going through a lot of changes and could get an upset tummy. If you want to introduce wet food mix the Goats’ milk and wet food into a mush. In a couple of weeks start weaning her off the milk. The liquid milk is in the fridge section and the concentrate is in the baking aisle. If you use concentrate, mix it 1:1 with water.
She needs lots of water available.
Her food/water bowls and litter box need to be low enough for her to use.
I’ve going on and on and not in a linear way. Please feel free to ask for more advice or clarification.
