Getting a new cat or kitten is a very exciting time, but there are lots of things you'll need to buy ahead of their arrival – including the best cat food, a selection of toys, and a comfortable bed to sleep in.

When bringing home a new kitten, it's not just material items to prepare; you'll also need to consider whether they'll be an indoor or outdoor cat (and kitten-proof your house and yard accordingly), register them with your local vet, and make your home a safe space for them to explore.
