How to Choose a Kitten for a Pet

When picking out a kitten, you want to find one that’s healthy, happy, and ready to be a positive addition to your family. You want a kitten that demonstrates



  • Curiosity — this goes without saying, doesn’t it?



  • Friendliness



  • Playfulness



  • Purring



  • Comfort with being picked up



  • A mouth with healthy, pink gums




Pass on a kitten with the following warning signs, which tell you she’s not healthy or well socialized:



  • Listlessness



  • Gooey eyes, running nose, or sneezing



  • Visible third eyelid (like a film or goo on the inside corner of his eye)



  • Crusty stuff around butt or runny poop



  • Skin scabs or missing fur



  • Black stuff in the ears



  • Fleas or flea dirt



  • Thin with potbelly



  • An incorrigible nipper or hard biter



  • Frightened or shy
