The First 48 Hours
Arrival & Safe Room
Introduce your kitten to one small, quiet room first. Let them explore at their own pace without overwhelming them with the whole house.
Observation & Patience
They may hide for the first few hours. This is normal. Sit on the floor nearby and speak softly, but don't force interaction.
Scent Swapping
If you have other pets, swap blankets between the kitten and the resident pet to introduce their scents before a physical meeting.
Feeding & Nutrition
Proper nutrition is critical for a growing MAYBRITIZZ kitten. Their bones, muscles, and immune systems are developing rapidly during the first 12 months.
