Hi Trish

Firstly could I ask where are you buying the kitten from? Breeder, Rescue, pet classifieds?

If from a breeder or rescue make sure you know what foods to buy in. If your first cat you will need (all two of for washing purposes) litter boxes,feed bowls, water bowls, toys, scratching pole, cat bed, fleeces, throws, cat litter (a big sack is more economical and white/grey litter is good). Grooming brushes/combs depending on length of your kit's coat. If a smooth coat, then a grooming love glove is good. From pet shop its like a rubber glove with pimples on the underside, pmsl.
