What You Get With Your British Shorthair Kitten (Starter Kit)

When you buy a British Shorthair kitten in Canada from Catzilla Cattery, you don’t just take a kitten home — you receive a carefully prepared Starter Kit designed to ensure a smooth, stress-free transition.

What’s included:

Litter sample (used)

A small bag of litter from your kitten’s original home.

Add it to your litter box on day one — the familiar scent helps your kitten instantly understand where to go.

Starter food

Food your kitten is already used to.

Start feeding with this immediately and introduce any new food gradually over 5–7 days.

Avoid feeding only wet food in the beginning — it may cause digestive upset (loose stool).

Favorite toys

Your kitten’s familiar toys go with them to their new home.

Helps reduce anxiety and encourages normal play behavior from day one.

Bed or blanket with familiar scent

Often included — carrying the smell of mom and siblings.

This is one of the most important comfort elements.

Do NOT wash it during the first 1–2 weeks
The scent is what helps your kitten feel safe.

Why this matters

Moving to a new home is stressful for any kitten — especially at 8 weeks old.

By keeping familiar:

  • smells
  • food
  • objects

we create a sense of continuity that helps your kitten:

  • adapt faster
  • feel safer
  • eat and use the litter box confidently
  • develop a calm, stable personality
