Your genuine concern for the feline is understandable, especially since a five week old kitten is probably the cutest sight on earth. However, you need to keep certain things in mind if you plan to adopt the kitten. It is essential that you prepare well for the new arrival. The kitten cat must have its own litter tray, special feline food and water bowl. You will have to create a comfortable basket or bed, a carrier and maintain a separate brush. It is also a very good idea to consider buying toys as the kitten will bond quickly with you through play time. If you wish, you can also provide the kitten with a scratching post or and cat flap.
If you plan to allow the kitten outdoors, it is also very important to provide it with a collar and name tag. The name tag should display your address and telephone number too. This is the best way of finding the kitten, should it get lost. Consult your vet for food advice. Cats require certain special dietary needs and animal derived nutrients. Felines are not vegetarians and are unable to live long on a completely meat-free diet. A healthy feline is always active and alert, with bright eyes and a glossy coat.
