Marvel is a silver tabby and such a handsome kitten. He’s nine weeks old and has had his first vaccination and a veterinary health check – he’s passed without any problems. Marvel has beautiful markings and colour, he has a lovely personality, he’s friendly and loves to be fussed and cuddled. He’s eating well – he loves food and has kitten pouches and Hill’s Science Diet kitten biscuits.
Marvel is a playful little kitten, like all babies he needs time to rest and sleep, a cardboard box, a cut down duvet, a fleece and he’s in heaven. We like to give all our cats natural food, so while the kits like their pouches, a bit of fish or meat, cut up fine or minced, is good too.
Kittens need to be kept indoors for many months and definitely until they’ve been neutered or spayed. It’s much too cold for them to go out this time of year, except for a few minutes and when you are with them.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money buying things for kittens – cardboard boxes are the best beds, you can throw them away when they get soiled and get another one for free. Saucers are better than plastic dishes, easier to keep clean and if you go round the flea market or car boot sales, you can get them for a few pence. They haven’t been made in China and come from the other side of the world either.
We’re open between 11.0am and 3.0pm so please come and meet the kittens – we have several other beauties, girls and boys, ready for new homes.
