Kitten diet- help!

Hi

I am getting a kitten next week and it's my first cat. She's come from a background where she's had no mum and will only be 8 weeks old when i get her. I'm really eager to give her the best care I can after her hard start in life and will get her as good a food as possible to give her a boost. I just wondered if anyone has any recommendations about anything else I could do to make her as healthy as I can apart from good food? Amybe some supplements or something. Thanks!

She will be fine on kitten food as this has the vitamins ect in it. Would be worth finding out what shes on now as a change in her food may upset her tum with alot of changes ect to. When shes settled you can always think about gradually getting her on the food you want to use. I think Iams is meant to be quite good although science diet is good to.Some can be a bit pricey. Good luck with your kitten. Another point is dont give your kitty cows milk it gives them a very runny bum due to the lactose in it.

Thanks very much- I thought the food in itself would be ok just wanted to check. Yes, I'll definitely check what she's currently on there- I think they use Iams and that's what I'd like to use so hopefully should be ok. Thanks for your help, I'm very excited!!
