How to prepare in advance for a new mother cat?

Keep the cat warm

After giving birth, the mother cat is quite weak and has low resistance, so the first thing the owner should do is to keep the cat warm.

Feeding small amount but frequently

Feeding the new mom with easily digestible, high-nutrient food. The cat will supply nutrients to the kittens for nursing, so when choosing cat food, opt for high-protein, high-nutrient food that's well-balanced and easy to digest.

Prepare a private space in advance.

Some mother cats are very protective, so it's not recommended for the owner to frequently check on and touch the mother cat. It's best to prepare a semi-enclosed, private space in advance to ease the mother cat's nervousness and prevent her from hiding her kittens somewhere you can't find them.

How to prepare for welcoming a new kitten or puppy to your home?

Safety First

Put away any fragile items and anything that could harm your pet's health or safety.

Let it rest, don't be too attentive.

Your pet might be exhausted after the journey to the new home. Let it take a nap if it wants to. If it doesn't sleep, try to let it stay in a semi-enclosed nest for a while, to rest and regain its energy.

Give it a sense of security.

New kittens or puppies might cry at night for the first 1-2 days because they're not used to the new home yet. You could try covering it with a cozy, furry hooded bed to help alleviate its fear. You might also try placing a ticking clock wrapped in a blanket in its nest to mimic the heartbeat of its mother.
