Dear Simply Cat Supplies Customer,

We know that it is a life-changing decision to bring a furry friend home. So, in order to make this process as easy as possible we offer everything you will need and more to care for your new companion. Whether you are adopting your first or third furball it is important to invest in the right pet supplies to make them comfortable and happy.

First you should set up some space for your new fuzzface with a sleeping area. Whether it’s a pad, blanket or nest a cat bed is essential. Without one your new friend will seek the perfect place to slumber from wicker baskets, a sun kissed sofa table, even an open drawer filled with sweaters.  Your little furball needs her own private, secure place to sleep.

Besides a pet bed, your furry family member needs other items as well. Bowls are good for food and water, but some felines prefer fresh, moving water. So, instead of leaving the sink run all day you could invest in a drinkwell pet fountain. Water circulates through a filter providing the water your furry friend needs in a way she will drink it. A pet fountain delivers cool, fresh water anytime she wants it.

Next to food and water, a litter box is critical for your new furry family member’s comfort and health. You will need to keep a cat litter box scrupulously clean, and in a location where it's easily accessible, but private. The training will almost take care of itself. Your furry friend will always prefer a well-maintained box over hard floor or carpet. You can even cover it to look like an end table or accent table for any room for style and comfort you both can love.

Once you have these basics covered you should invest in a cat collar not only for identification should she get lost, but it also makes it easy to attach a cat leash should you want to take her for a walk. Collars and leashes are a great way to introduce your little furball to the outdoors at any age. Available in many colors and styles these items are also a great way to delve into feline fashion as well.

Of course cat clothes can do this too. Introducing your fuzzy friend to kitty jewelry and kitty clothing at a young age will help them and you make a statement on couture fashion. But if you find clothes for animals silly you are not alone. And there are other things you can invest in for your little one. While pet-proofing your house, you can also install cat doors so she can go in and out with ease. Of course you will have to train her how to use the pet doors and encouragement with treats works well.

But before you decide to let her roam free outside you should consider that indoor children of fur tend to live longer. With this in mind we know it is hard for your furry friend to resist the lure of the outdoors, so we offer several options for doing it safely. One way is to invest in a pet fence for your yard. One of the most popular types is the invisible cat fence which shocks your furball if she tries to leave your yard. If this sounds cruel to use, you could invest in cat enclosures, to give her restricted places in which to play in the fresh air. Also, if you are going to let your fuzzface outside for any length of time you should invest in flea and tick prevention such as Advantage Cats or Frontline for Cats which require simply monthly applications.

Creating safe areas for your new friend to play inside and outside is very important. Many animal owners see cat furniture as an extra –nice to have but not really essential. Your fuzzy feline needs a place to climb and explore different heights, a safe place to scratch and establish territory and display other instinctual behaviors. One way to address this need is by investing in cat trees which offer different heights to explore. You can offer privacy with a cat house or cat condo; they are perfect for sleeping or hiding treats and toys. A cat gym or cat condo tree encourages activity and exercise ensuring your indoor friend won’t become lethargic and overweight. Some include posts made of carpet or sisal, the scratching post, providing structural integrity and inviting scratching. A cat post is essential for your furry friend. If she has her own place to scratch she will not wreck your furniture.

If your place is too small for a large piece of furniture, you can try a cat perch with scratching area. Your furry friend will love a cat window perch where she can observe both indoors and outdoors from on high. As your fuzzface ages she may need some help to reach those heights so pet stairs may be in order. Stairs or a pet ramp will help her get to her favorite spots with ease.

Another popular piece of pet furniture to invest in is a grooming table. Equipped with a wash basin it makes keeping your furry one clean and healthy a breeze. Of course you will need a few grooming supplies such as shampoo, clippers and a good brush to control shedding and keep her fur looking its finest. It may seem difficult, but cat grooming is essential for a healthy pet especially when they are too young or too old to do it themselves. Besides clean, soft fur it is essential to establish a cat dental care and cat eye care routine to keep her health.  She will love all the special attention.

And if you own such a well-cared for child of fur you will most likely want to show her off. There are many options when it comes to travelling with your little furball. Placing her in a cat carrier will keep her safe and comfortable in the car or on the plane. Pet cages or crates come in various styles and sizes, so it should be easy to find the right one for your furry friend. If you are just planning on strolling through the neighborhood you could try a backpack carrier, so she can see the world as you walk. If you don’t want the extra weight on your back you could try a cat stroller with open and private area so your little furball can see the world when she wants to and hide when she does not want to. There are even pet strollers of the jogging variety if you are an active person. There are so many options that it is easy to make the journey pleasant for both of you.

Owning a furball is a fun and rewarding experience filled with love and companionship for both of you. But sadly, your little or maybe not so little one cannot live forever, so we carry pet urns as well. Investing in a pet memorial will ensure your fur baby will live forever in your heart.
