Ragdoll kitten supplies checklist
A little preparation makes the homecoming smooth. Here's what we recommend having ready before your MoonLight Ragdoll arrives.
Food & Water
- High-quality kitten food (we'll share what they're eating)
- Wide, shallow ceramic or steel bowls
- Optional pet water fountain
Litter
- Large covered or open litter box
- Low-dust, unscented clumping litter
- Scoop and a small mat
Comfort & Play
- Tall sturdy scratching post or cat tree
- A few soft beds and blankets
- Interactive wand toys and a quiet retreat space
Grooming & Health
- Stainless steel comb for the semi-long coat
- Nail clippers
- Soft-bristle brush and pet-safe wipes
What does a Ragdoll kitten need on day one?
A Ragdoll kitten needs four things ready on day one: the food they were weaned on, a clean litter box with unscented litter, a quiet room to decompress in, and a steel comb for their semi-long coat. Everything else can wait a week. Ragdolls have a single, silky coat with little undercoat, so a five-minute comb-through twice a week keeps them mat-free.
You will not start from zero. Every MoonLight kitten goes home with a starter kit: a supply of the exact food they have been eating, a blanket that smells like their mother and littermates, their vaccination record, and written care notes. We also share what is in our own cabinets, so you can match brands before homecoming day.
