CARING FOR YOUR CAT/KITTEN

FROM

"PURRS-OF-LUV CATTERY"

 

·                     My kitties are CFA registered and you will receive a blue CFA registration application as long as your kitty was altered prior to leaving. If your kitty was not altered prior to leaving, you will receive a photocopy of the blue slip and the original will be mailed to you after the kitty is altered AND PROOF OF THE ALTERING IS PROVIDED. NO EXCEPTIONS. For pet kittens only!

 

·                     Kitties should absolutely NOT be given any cows milk at any time (not even watered down) this will cause diarrhea which could lead to dehydration and/or intestinal upset for your kitty. Goats milk is ok to give as a treat occasionally.

 

·                     Persian Himalayan kitties MAY have respiratory problems due to the smaller nasal passages in the breed. I can offer some tips on alleviating problems or caring properly for these problems, if your kitty shows any signs.

 

·                     The kitties at Purrs-of-Luv cattery are being feed Iams Kitten & Iams Hairball cat/kitten food mixed together and should continue eating this food when he/she leave for her/his new home. I also am feeding canned, wet food once a day. I only feed chicken or turkey canned food, as this is the most agreeable for their tiny tummies. Some kitties get tummy aches, diarrhea, loss of weight, unhappiness and so much more could happen with any diet change from the original diet they have been fed. If you wish to change their food from Iams to another food, please only do so after advising myself or your vet **NOTE- A lot of times a veterinarian will suggest a food they sell in their office and these prices are usually much higher than another quality food from a pet store, price shopping is suggested so you can continue to feed your new kitty quality foods. If you want to change your kitties food, please mix ½ new food and ½ old food together for at least a week.

 

·                     It has been proven that some types of water (well, city) contains small amount of Giardia bacteria which to cats can cause diarrhea. Therefore, I HIGHLY suggest giving your new kitty bottled spring water only.

 

·                     I use Fresh Step cat litter (scoopable) for my kitties and it has worked very well in odor control with proper scooping and empting. If you decide not to use Fresh Step and the kitten starts peeing on things or any other bad habit this could be because they don't like the litter that you switched them to and should be switched back to Fresh Step. Kitties can be as fussy as humans can be sometimes.

 

·                     The Persian Himalayan breed is known for their long, beautiful, free-flowing coat. To keep the coat in the best possible condition the coat MUST BE combed at least once a day with a grooming COMB only. You can purchase the grooming comb, that I recommend, from me for a charge of 10.00 per comb OR please ask where these combs can be purchased from. They are not available in pet stores, unfortunately.

 

·                     Another suggestion is to bathe your cat/kitten at least once every few months, this will help keep the coat clean and more manageable by removing dead fur and oils. Your kitty may not like it, but for both you and your kitty you will spend less time grooming and dematting, and more time cuddling with your kitty. You can use any kitty shampoo from a pet store, but my suggestion is using a tear-free product to protect their eyes in case some gets in the eyes accidently.

 

·                     After bathing, your kitty should be towel dried by patting the excess water from the coat, DO NOT towel dry in a rough manner, as this just tangles the hair, causing frustration when trying to dry the kitty. It is best to use a hair dryer that is as quiet as possible so it doesn’t frighten your kitty. Dry hair by using your hands in an uplifting manner, drying roots first, ends last. You should only use the comb when the coat is almost dry, use your hands/ fingers to separate any fur that is together. PLEASE be sure the temperature of the dryer isn’t too cool or too hot, a warm setting is best. After the coat is completely dry use the cool setting and go over the coat again, this will help close the cuticle to prevent coat damage. Now give your kitty a little treat.

 

·                     Your kitty may have eye drainage due to the small nasal passages. You will need to wipe his/her eyes at least once a day to prevent staining. I put some water in a container with a few drops of baby shampoo and wipe his/her eyes with this and round cotton cosmetic pads found in the cosmetic dept. I also suggest to buy a small bottle of moisturizing eye drops in case you notice your new kitty squinting or rubbing his/her eyes. Himmies will occasionally get dry eyes and a quick drop in each eye will be refreshing. I also use the eye drops to flush out the eye if there is something in the kitty’s eye. Water with a few drops of Baby shampoo works well too.

 

This information is a reference guide to keep your kitty happy and healthy in their new home. If any of the above items are changed (food/milk/litter) you COULD experience an unhappy kitten in MANY ways, I hope you don't have to experience. I love my kitties with all my heart from the day they were born until the day they leave my home and into their new homes. I expect each kitten to be treated the same way it was while living here and you should have a long-time happy, healthy kitty.
