Kitten Supply List & Resource Guide

Welcoming a ragdoll kitten into your home is an exciting adventure. Below, you'll find resources to guide you on what to expect and the essential supplies you'll need for your new furry friend. Before bringing home y0ur kitten, please help ensure your home is clear of potential hazards and poisonous plants. If integrating your kitten with other pets, please read our tips to help them forge a lasting friendship.

All of our kittens will have two rounds of their feline distemper vaccine (FVRCP) but they will need a third, final round within 1-2 weeks of going home.

We highly recommend purchasing pet insurance for your kitten/cat as they get older.

All of our kittens are litter-trained to use regular litter boxes as well as litter robots.

We feed our kittens a diet of Blue Buffalo Healthy Grow Kitten Food - we highly recommend continuing this diet, but we provide a ziplock bag of dry kibble in each kitten's going-home bag so that you can transition them to the food of your choice.

Below is a list of supplies, toys, supplements, and other items that we use for our kittens with corresponding Amazon links. It's not necessary to purchase all of these items, but our list is meant to give you suggestions on what to have on hand. Other than the essentials - bowls, litter box, toys, brush, nail trimmer & bed - we highly recommend investing in a cat tree so that your kitten has a scratching post/high place to climb. We also recommend using a water fountain with a filter instead of a free-standing water bowl so that your kitten always has access to fresh, filtered water.

What to expect when bringing home your kitten:

Bringing home a Ragdoll kitten is an exciting and heartwarming experience that ushers in a new chapter of companionship and joy. From the moment you welcome your little feline friend into your home, you'll notice a gentle, inquisitive spirit ready to explore and bond.

In the first few days, give your little friend plenty of time to adjust. Start by confining them to a smaller, quiet space instead of the entire house; this helps them feel secure and eases their transition. While ragdolls often settle in quickly, it's completely normal if your kitten takes a few days to come out of their shell. Patience and gentle care will help them feel right at home.
