I put my soul-kitty, Bert, to sleep this past October after having him for 16 years. I didn't think I would be adopting a new babe this soon but a friend is fostering a mama and 3 kitties. I fell in love with one of them. I haven't committed but have asked my friend to hold her for me. She goes in to be spayed next week and that's when I'd be bringing her home.
Since it's been a while since I've 'started from scratch' I'm looking for pointers on how to be the best mom ever (and keep my sanity knowing kittens are devils). I've been watching videos and I'm sure if I dig around here I'll find information but digging can be exhausting. Things I know for sure:
Wet food! (but how much?)
Socialize! (but how?)
Pet insurance! (but which one? Lemonade?)
I'm asking if y'all have any tips or tricks to bringing a new babe home and making it as stress-free and as healthy as possible for her without triggering my anxiety left over from when I had Bert (he was afraid of people, difficult to get in the carrier during emergency-type situations, I always worried about maintenance letting him out, and then there were the health issues at the end of his life).
Thanks, y'all! xoxo
