Can you keep a kitten in your bedroom?

To prepare your home for your new arrival we recommend that your kitten be confined to one room for the first few days. Preferably, this should be a small bedroom or bathroom. You need to place a litter box, food and water dishes in his room with him. You want your kitten to have quick, easy access to these things.

Where should foster kittens sleep?

A soft place to sleep: Old towels or blankets work well. A secure sleeping area: A cat carrier with the door removed or a box laid on its side work well. Toys: Use kitten-safe toys that are easy to sanitize and clean.

Is it bad to keep a kitten in one room?

Keep your kitten in one room of the house for the first week, with access to a cosy bed, food and water bowls, a litter tray and lots of toys to play with. Let her become familiar with this space before she explores the rest of the house.

How much time should I spend with my foster kitten?

On average, it is best to spend at least 2 hours, collectively throughout a day, with your foster animals. Socialization can be as important as feeding them and keeping them clean.

Do foster kittens get attached?

You can’t foster without getting attached to them. But if you take care of as many mamas and kittens as I have, you have to realize that if you kept them all, you’d end up in hoarder territory. It’s a good thing to send bottle babies on to somebody else, because they tend to get TOO attached to their caregiver.

Should I lock my kitten in a room at night?

It’s fine to leave your cat alone in a room at night if he or she is comfortable with it. It isn’t enough to simply lock them in; you must also prepare the room, the cat, and yourself. You’ll need to take your time acclimating them to their new living circumstances and making sure they’re never stressed out.

How long do you keep a kitten indoors before letting it out?

You may be tempted to let your cat outside as soon as possible, but generally it’s best to allow at least 2-3 weeks and up to 4-6 weeks after you first take them home. This will give them plenty of time to settle in their new environment.

How much space do foster kittens need?

In terms of space, you don’t need much. A laundry room, bathroom, or extra bedroom is helpful, but a cage set up in the corner of your bedroom or den can work just fine. Depending on how old the kittens are, you’ll be caring for them for one to eight weeks.
