PURCHASE NEEDED SUPPLIES AHEAD OF TIME

You will definitely want to have on hand: food and water dishes (we recommend porcelain, china and stainless steel, and recommend getting your new kitty her own set, even if you already have a set for another feline). Do not use plastic as it holds bacteria and can cause a condition called feline acne. A litter box covered or uncovered, whatever will work best for your kitties. Be sure to place the litter box in an easily accessible location, away from the food and water area. Litter, a pooper scooper, cat furniture such as scratching posts (make sure the post does not knock over easily and allows the cat to extend it’s full length in order to scratch). The proper food as discussed in your interview. A cat carrier; either the hard kennel type or a soft carrier such as Sherpa (http://www.sherpapet.com/). NEVER use a cardboard box or cardboard carrier for your cat. A cat can very easily escape from it, facing certain death if outside on the street or on a subway platform.
