Frequently asked questions about kitten care

We understand that new kitten owners often have many questions. Here, we address some of the most common concerns and offer practical advice to help your Selkirk Rex kitten thrive in their new home. Our commitment to excellence means supporting you every step of the way.

What are the most important things to know when bringing my kitten home?

Ensure a quiet, safe space is prepared especially if other pets are within the home. Introduce them gradually to other pets or family members. Provide fresh food, water, and a litter tray in an accessible, low-traffic area. Minimise loud noises and sudden movements in the first few days to reduce stress.

How can I tell if my kitten is eating enough?

Selkirk Rex kittens should have a healthy appetite and be gaining weight steadily. We will proved detail information on what they are currnetly eating and supply some food within their kitten packs when they leave. We recommend a high-quality kitten food and consistent feeding times.

How do I prepare my home for a new Selkirk Rex kitten?

Kitten-proof your home by securing electrical cords, removing toxic plants, and putting away small objects that could be swallowed. Set up a designated "safe space/room" with their bed, food, water, and litter tray for the first few days.

What kind of litter box and litter should I use?

We recommend either open litter tray or hooded litter box. Our kittens have been raised on tofu cat litter, a clumping litter within open stainless steel litter trays successfully. Their litter trays are cleaned 3 times a day minimum to encourage good litter habits.

Are Selkirk Rex kittens happy if left alone?

Selkirk Rex are social cats, but they can be content alone for reasonable periods once they've settled in. Provide plenty of toys, a comfortable sleeping spot, and ensure they have access to food, water, and their litter tray.

How often should I groom my Selkirk Rex kitten?

Regular grooming is important for Selkirk Rex due to their unique coat. Comb them gently a few times a week to prevent matting and reduce shedding. This also helps build a bond with your kitten.

What are your top tips for new Selkirk Rex owners?

Spend quality time playing and cuddling with your kitten to build a strong bond. Consistent positive interaction will help them feel secure and loved.
