New kitten checklist — what to get before your kitten comes home
When food, litter and a safe corner are ready before your kitten arrives, the first days are far easier for both of you. This list gathers everything you need for the first weeks, and with a room code you can split the shopping with family or relatives who want to give a gift. No sign-up needed.
In short
To adopt a kitten you need age-appropriate kitten food, food and water bowls, a litter box with litter, a scoop, a scratching post, a carrier and a soft bed. Toys and a brush come next, and a vet appointment, vaccine schedule and microchip should be planned too. Don't forget a safety net on balconies and windows. Ask your vet about portions and vaccine timing.
14 items go straight into your new room; delete what you don't need, add what's missing. No account needed.

Tips
Fit a safety net or wire mesh on the balcony and open windows; falls from a height are a common accident in cats, and an unscreened window is the biggest risk.
Welcome the kitten in a single room at first; put the litter box in a quiet corner, away from the food and water bowls.
If you change the food, mix it with the old one and switch over gradually; ask your vet which food and how much suit your kitten.
The vaccine schedule, parasite prevention and the right time for neutering depend on age and health; plan them with your vet at the first check-up.

Frequently asked questions
What should you buy before a kitten comes home?
Age-appropriate kitten food, food and water bowls, a litter box with litter, a scratching post, a carrier and a bed cover the first days. Toys and a brush can follow.
When should a kitten go to the vet?
It's a good idea to book a general check-up as soon as possible after the kitten comes home. Your vet decides the vaccine schedule, parasite prevention and neutering time based on age and health.
Why do cats need nets on balconies and windows?
Cats love to leap and wander along window ledges, and falls from unprotected balconies and windows are common. A sturdy net or wire mesh greatly reduces that risk.
Can I change the list?
Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.
Do I need an account?
No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.
How long is the list kept?
As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
