Home Contact Info Kittens Available Pricing Adoption Coat Colors Ocicats Information Pedigree Past Litters Sales Contract Recommendations Cat Shows Testimonials Photo Gallery	Here is a quick list of recommended items to make your kittens transition as smooth as possible: =================================== Heating pad http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=6616 I would highly recommend picking up an heating pad for your Ocicat especially if they will be coming home in the winter. By 12 weeks they are use to always having a place to go to be all toasty when they take a nap. =================================== Soft Claws http://www.arcatapet.com/category.cfm?catnum=231 We do not recommend declawing cats. Not only are the nails removed, but a significant part of the fingers are amputated in the process. We very rarely have problems with cats that scratch. If they do. we use a product called Soft Claws. You can purchase these on-line or at your local pet store. They are soft clear rubber tips that you superglue over the kittens nails. They usually last for over a month and if you catch your kitten scratching when they are small and use these for several months you should never have a scratching problem. =================================== Foods and treats: Purina Kitten Chow Freeze- dried Cod treats Friskies Crunchy Tartar Control Cat Treats We recommend that you pick up the same flavors that they have been eating here and maintain the same diet for at least 2 weeks while your new kitten(s) adjust to there new home. Then you can slowly, over the course of a week, change there diet to a kitten food of your choosing. We recommend mixing in increasing amounts of the new food to the existing diet until the kitten is fully eating the new food. Changing a kittens diet quickly can lead to intestinal problems. =================================== Litter Tidycat Tidy-Lock clumping litter (for multiple cats) It provide superior odor control, minimal tracking, Also, we recommend getting a litter box with a hood, as this minimizes spillage and tracking when your kitty springs out of the box. =================================== Carrier You will also need to purchase a cat carrier and bring it with you when you pick up. Get one large enough for an adult cat, so that you don't have to purchase another later. You will need it for your annual vet checkups. ===================================
