Make sure and have all necessary supplies and equipment before picking up your new cat/kitten. (litter pan, litter, food & water bowls, premium cat food-ask breeder what food the cat is accustomed to, carrier to bring cat home in and to and from vet)

Pick out a vet you feel comfortable with and is located near your home. Also have in mind the hours the vet is opened, it might be good idea to have another vet picked out in case of emergencies after hours.

Cat proof your home so it is safe and free of dangers (poisonous plants, looped cords on window blinds, Christmas ribbons, electrical cords, small objects) should all be kept out of cats reach.

Take your cat to the vet yearly for vaccinations and check-up, and always spay and neuter all pets.
