PICKING UP YOUR KITTEN
Bring a Sherpa bag or small crate with you when you pick up kitten. Kittens startle easily so it is important to be calm and quiet especially when you first see your kitten, The kitten will take time to adjust to a new environment Sometimes it takes days to weeks again patience is the key. Let the kitten adjust at his or her own pace , sometimes they dont eat much , be patient while he or she acclimates, Sometimes a wire crate is a good safe place for kitten to adjust ,keep food water, bed,litter box in it. Allow time and opportunity for them to adjust to you and their new hoOME.

CARING FOR YOUR KITTEN
   Kittens chew and chase everything . It is important to not let them not have acess to electric cords, wire,plastic,plants ,rubber bands pieces of stuffing from toys anything they might chew or eat .This could cause a stomach blockage and be life threatening not to mention a large Vet bill.  
  It is not  a good idea to let the kitten or cat outside they can look out and be happy and safe inside without being exposed to the dangers of cars, birds of prey such as hawks and snakes,also other cats feral or neighbors which can expose them to serious diseases and cat fights, A catio or large wired enclosure is the best option for outdoors.
 Kittens get into everything. They can climb into open washers and dryers refrigerators ,reclining chairs anything you can think of. When you cannot supervise put in the crate or safe room. 

 Vaccinating your kitten 
  Please make informed decisions .read and keep up with current research , Overvaccinting ,and the use of the wrong vaccine can affect the quality and length of your kittens life. Once the 2 kitten vaccines it is a 3 way vaccine ,are given the last being done after 4 months and not more than 3 total a month apart ; your kitten is usually fully immunized for life against Panleukopenia  a life threatening cat distemper , the 2 rhino viruses do not give full immunity but will help give  good protection against severe illness. The feline leukemia vaccine is not neede as the parents are all tested and never go outside among feral cats . Rabies is up to you but as the cat should never go outside you can make your own informed decision . If you have to give it only use the non -adjuvanted Merial brand. Yearly vaccinating is useless except to vet cash flow  and can actually cause more ill health and lack of longevity. These  2 studies provide  a good start towards informative research: THE CORNELL STUDY ON FELINE VACCINES, and  VACCINES for CATS.
