How to Care for your Exotic Shorthair Kittens

We feed primarily RAW food.

There are RAW food distributors all over the country that you can just google and find. There are a few Facebook groups you can learn from.  We use www.texastripe.com but you can google raw food in your area. We understand this is not the easiest so, in order to facilitate the transition to their new homes,  we are now feeding our kittens Kirkland's Salmon and Sweet potato grain free formula kibble aside from the raw food.

We do NOT allow any of our buyers to declaw any of our kittens under any circumstance. Please clip your kittens nails often and provide cat trees and ample appropriate scratching surfaces. Cat trees and scratching posts are ideal for them. If your kitten scratches a piece of furniture, add scratch posts to that area. 

We use Pine Pellets, we buy them at Tractor Supply. Your kitten is used to living in a small space, so when you take it home please put it in a small place once you're done petting it. A place like your bathroom, where you can put it's litter box, water and food. Let it get used to this space and make sure it's using the litter box before you give access to larger areas. You can change to any other type of litter if you want, but as with any changes do it slowly or be prepared to switch back if the kitten doesn't respond well to the new type of litter.

Kittens should always have fresh water, they love fountains too. We recommend stainless steal bowls. 

We use Pink Paw Pall.  https://pinkpawpalusa.com/ They have some videos on their website on how to apply the liquid solution and powder to clean your kitten's eyes on a daily basis.

You can find everything you need here https://chrischristensen.com/  Please make sure to comb your cat every day to avoid matting, if this sounds like a lot of work, it's because it is a lot of work. It's therapeutic and fun if you like and enjoy it, but if you don't, you can find a good groomer or get an Exotic Shorthair Kitten instead of a Persian.

You need to degrease the coat, afterwards you need a shampoo to clean your kitten. It's important to condition and rinse your kitten thoroughly before you blow dry completely. Please go on Youtube to watch videos on this. I use Chris Christiansen products on my kittens, they're excellent to keep your kitten in excellent shape.

You NEED a Buttercomb from Chris Christiansen, they are expensive but you can't do without it.
