Hi I'm fairly new to the site.
I'm delighted to introduce the new kitten we are getting in 2 weeks' time. We have decided to call her Roxie. She is still with her mum at present.
Despite being an experienced cat owner (I got my 5 year old cat Maisy as a kitten), it all feels new to me so it is great to read your helpful advice.
Assuming all goes well and we pick her up (I'm trying to stay level headed as we previously picked out a puppy and he sadly passed away before we picked him up), I have the task of introducing Roxie slowly to our cat Maisy and small dog Hanna. I've bought feliway diffusers and spray and read up about the slow introduction process. Kitten will have access to my bedroom and ensuite bathroom only in those first days. Maisy owns the spare guest room and my son will stay with her to keep her feeling loved!
I'm slowly getting all my kitten care essentials..she is one spoilt kitten. But I'm not sure about cat litter. I used standard cat litter for Maisy years ago but we had tracking and smells! I have decided to go with tigerino fun Crystal's litter as it was recommended for kittens. Hope that is a good choice. I'm a bit nervous as kitten is 6 weeks old and hasn't been introduced to a litter tray..although I suggested it.
I need to go read up on feeding ie how many times a day. I'm excited but feeling like I need to read more!
I've booked the kitten in to get checked and vaccinated the day after we pick her up. Fingers crossed she has no fleas and is healthy.
Off to do more reading!!!

Glad you joined the site to let us know about your new kitten, Roxie. She looks absolutely adorable. 
I'm sure you can hardly wait to bring her home in two weeks. Rest assured you will feel confident with all the information and resources that are available on the site. Once she joins your family we will expect lots of pics.
