We
must all bear in mind that your
Bengal Kittens and
Savannah kittens will be leaving the only home
they knew, their mum, security and general surroundings for the
first time. These kittens have no idea that we intend
taking care of
them in an environment they will come to love. Until they feel
that sense of security, we need to be really patient and
cautious of their needs.
To
help your Bengal Kitten or Savannah kitten manage this situation, we will not release
them from their birth environment until they are 13 weeks
old. By this time, their mother would have weaned them, taught
them how to play, use the
litter tray and tidy themselves.
When the new Bengal or Savannah kitten arrives home, try to carry out the
safety precautions you would generally take when an infant is
around and ensure all windows and doors to your new home are
closed. Remember, your kitten will
investigate every situation. It will not be aware that the
situation is potentially dangerous to cats. If appropriate, place a guard in front of your
fireplace.
Initially, introduce your Bengal Cat or Savannah kitten to a very small room where it
is easy for it to become acquainted with. A few basic but
important reminders are to avoid changing the food your new
kitten previously ate and ensure a clean
litter tray,
feeding and
water bowls are placed in the room so that it can easily be
reached by your kitten.
Avoid placing any litter trays near feeding areas so as to
maintain appropriate hygiene habits
Inform all children that your new Bengal Kitten or Savannah kitten should not be picked up
until the kitten feels safe enough to freely approach them in
its own time. They
must stop playing with the kitten if it gets distress.
Try to spend every hour
you can with your Savannah or Bengal Kitten. It may ignore you
at first, but this will only happen for a short while until you
both become friends. Try
not to let your kitten venture from the small environment until
it is comfortable with you, your family and new home. This
will usually take around two to three days. If
you force your Bengal or Savannah kitten to widen out too soon,
litter tray accidents could
occur! This
will only happen if it has lost it's way, or the litter tray
needs cleaning.
Do make all efforts to keep your
litter trays clear of solids at all times.
Disinfect the litter tray weekly and leave it to dry before re-use.
In no time, your Bengal Kitten or Savannah
Kitten will be comfortable
in it's new home. As it grows, it will become very active so
please do allow plenty of time to play with them.
Your Bengal Kittens or Savannah kittens will all be vaccinated and
litter trained
before you collect them. You will also receive Six weeks free
Pet Plan Insurance
to commence the day you collect your kitten. Please try to continue this insurance without
a break for your own peace of mind.
Enjoy your new Bengal or Savannah Cat family member! |
