Scottish Fold Kitten Shopping List: What to Buy Before Bringing Your Kitten Home

Safe Transportation & Travel

• Hard-sided plastic cat carrier (top-load preferred)

• Soft carrier padding or towel

• Secure latches and proper ventilation

A sturdy carrier is essential for your kitten’s first trip home and future veterinary visits.

Food & Water Essentials

• Stainless steel or ceramic food bowls (shallow to reduce whisker fatigue)

• Stainless steel water fountain

• Backup water bowl

• Filtered, room-temperature drinking water

Filtered water encourages hydration and supports urinary and digestive health.

Litter Box Setup

• XL stainless steel litter box

• Low-dust, fast-clumping cat litter

Why stainless steel?
Stainless steel litter boxes are hygienic, odor-resistant, and easy to sanitize. They do not absorb bacteria or smells like plastic.

Why low-dust litter?
Low-dust, fast-clumping litter supports respiratory health and keeps the litter area cleaner and more comfortable for kittens.

Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies

• Enzyme-based stain and odor remover

• Veterinary-grade disinfectant

• Disposable underpads

• Paper towels and basic cleaning supplies

Keeping the litter and feeding areas clean helps reduce illness and stress during the adjustment period.

High-Quality Kitten Nutrition

Your kitten’s digestive system is sensitive, so consistency is important.

Dry Food

• High-protein, grain-free kitten formula

Wet Food

• High-moisture, simple-ingredient wet food

We recommend keeping your kitten on the same food used by the breeder during the initial transition period.

Treats & Bonding Supplies

• Kitten-safe lickable treats

• Skin and coat support treats

Treats help with bonding, training, and creating positive daily routines.

Hairball & Digestive Support

• Hairball gel or paste

• Omega-3 supplements

• Vet-approved probiotics

Grooming & Care Essentials

• Cat nail clippers

• De-shedding brush

• Eye cleaning solution

• Feeding or medication syringes

Routine grooming keeps your kitten healthy, clean, and helps prevent hairballs.

Toys, Enrichment & Calming Supplies

• Vertical and horizontal scratchers

• Interactive kitten toys

• Organic catnip

• Soft beds and blankets

• Feliway spray or diffuser

• Vet-approved calming chews or collar

A calm, enriched environment helps Scottish Fold kittens feel secure and adjust faster to their new home.

Helpful Preparation Tips

• Set up food, water, and litter areas before your kitten arrives

• Keep the environment quiet during the first few days

• Avoid sudden changes in food or litter

• Schedule a veterinary visit shortly after pickup
