We
must all bear in mind that you’re Savannah
kitten will be leaving the only home they knew, their mum,
security and general surroundings for the first time. These
kittens have no idea that we intend taking care of them in an
environment they will come to love. Until they feel that
sense of security, we need to be really patient and cautious of
their needs.
To help your
Savannah
kitten manage this situation, we will not release them from
their birth environment until they are 13 weeks old. By
this time, their mother would have weaned them, taught them how
to play, use the litter
tray
and tidy themselves.
When the new
Savannah
kitten arrives home, try to carry out the safety precautions you
would generally take when an infant is around and ensures all
windows and doors to your new home are closed. Remember,
your kitten will investigate every situation.
Initially, introduce your
Savannah
kitten to a very small room where it is easy for it to become
acquainted with. A few basic but important reminders are
to avoid changing the food your new kitten previously ate and
ensure a clean litter
tray,
feeding
and water bowls are placed in the room so that it can easily be
reached by your kitten.
Avoid placing any litter trays near feeding areas so as to
maintain appropriate hygiene habits
inform all children that your new
Savannah
kitten should not be picked up until the kitten feels safe
enough to freely approach them in its own time. They must
stop playing with the kitten if it gets distress.
Try to spend every hour you can with your
Savannah
Kitten. It may ignore you at first, but this will only
happen for a short while until you both become friends.
Try not to let your kitten venture from the small environment
until it is comfortable with you, your family and new home.
This will usually take around two to three days. If you
force your
Savannah
kitten to widen out too soon, litter tray accidents could occur!
This will only happen if it has lost it's way, or the litter
tray needs cleaning.
Do make all efforts to keep your litter trays clear of solids at
all times. Disinfect the litter tray weekly and leave it
to dry before re-use.
In no time, your Savannah Kitten will be comfortable
in it's new home. As it grows, it will become very active
so please do allow plenty of time to play with them.
Savannah
kittens will all be vaccinated and litter trained
before you collect them. You will also receive Six weeks
free Pet
Plan Insurance
to commence the day you collect your kitten. Please try to
continue this insurance without a break for your own peace of
mind. Always remember your Savannah
kitten is not a matured cat and some times, all the stress of
the move to it's new home could cause an upset stomach. To
avoid added stress we suggest you keep your
Savannah
kittens on the same food their digestive systems are accustomed
to and if this problem occurs, it should disappear in a few days
or so. If it does not, please take your Savannah Kitten to
the Vet for further advice. In the meantime, ensure your
kitten has plenty of fresh water available and constant access
to a clean private litter tray.
Consider retaining the same cat litter we recommended as a
litter change might confuse your Savannah Kitten. We do
not recommend clumping litter for any kitten. It could
stick to their feet which they will attempt to lick off, and
could result in an impacted stomach, (should this incident ever
occur, please take your kitten to a
vet
immediately).
We use a Comfey Pet pine pellet litter.
Your new Savannah Kitten will anxiously want to explore its new
home and family. In the process of doing so, they might
soon forget the litter tray when in a hurry and accidents might
occur. This will not be their intention and hence, it is
recommended that you keep at least two litter trays in the
house, one on each floor. Start with, a full hooded
litter tray without the lid. This could prevent
unwanted accidents.
If your Savannah Kitten is reluctant to use the tray it may be
for a number of reasons. Some of those reasons could be
because:-
1. It is too small
2. It is not clean
3. It is too near their food bowls·
4. It was cleaned with a chemical that is too strong smelling
5. Your kitten does not like the texture of the litter you have
chosen.
Try to keep your
Savannah
kitten in a small room until it is confident and feels safe.
You will know when it is ready to take on other challenges as
the kitten will come running to you as you enter the room.
Keep a watch on your kitten. If it seems to be in distress
and constantly wondering from corner to corner, pick it up and
place it in the litter tray. Repeat this action until it
can find the litter tray on its own.
At all times food, water, a cosy bed and a litter tray should be
in easy reach of your kitten. This will ensure little or no
accidents and good litter tray habits.

the cattery including food and water bowels and litterboxes,
etc.
