Finding the Perfect Cat Litter for Scottish Fold Kitten and Adult Cats
To help your Scottish Fold kitten feel safe and confident in their new home, start with the same litter they used at the cattery. Once they’re settled, you can slowly transition to your preferred litter over 7–10 days.
For odor control, Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Slide Platinum is a great choice for adults. For younger kittens, consider Tractor Supply’s Pelletized Bedding, which is softer and low-dust.
Scoop the litter box 3–4 times a day, and do a full clean once a week using Rescue® Disinfectant Cleaner (safe and vet-approved).Provide one litter box per cat, plus one extra, and place them in quiet, easily accessible spots around your home. This reduces stress, supports natural territorial instincts, and encourages consistent litter habits.
