Fairytail Forest Bengals

Bringing your new Bengal kitten home is an exciting milestone. Here is our step-by-step roadmap for their first 24 hours, first week, first month and beyond — so they settle in smoothly and become part of your family.

The Golden Rule

The stress of moving house is enough change for week one. One room, same food, familiar things — and let them anchor before you widen their world.

🏠

First 24 Hours

Set them up in the one room you have chosen for their first week (your bedroom works perfectly), with litter tray, food, water, bed and a cat tree if you have one.
Show them the litter tray as soon as you arrive, and pop them in it once — they will remember.
Sit with them and let them approach people rather than the other way around.
Feed their usual Royal Canin kitten kibble at their usual times — no food changes, the stress of the move is enough for their tummy.
Expect some crying the first night — a comfy bed, soft toy and familiar-smelling blanket will help.

🗓️

First Week

Keep them anchored in their one room until they are eating reliably, toilet-ing reliably and choosing to seek you out for affection.
Spend lots of time in there — teaser play, small balls, chase toys. Your job this week is to be in the room as much as you can.
Keep the litter trays close and accessible at all times (two trays minimum).
If you have other pets, let them get used to each other's scents. When curiosity starts at the door, feed them either side of it at the same time.
Keep the food exactly the same. If you change their diet in week one, they will almost definitely get diarrhoea — the stress of moving is enough change already.

First Month

Once the hissing phase has stopped, bring your current cats or dogs into the room for short supervised play sessions, and gradually widen your kitten's world — you will know when they are ready to be fully integrated.
Book the vet check-up your vet recommends and register their vaccine certificate with your clinic — with vaccinations done at 8 and 12 weeks, nothing more is due until their first birthday.
Keep worming monthly — indoor cats still need it, as parasites can be carried in raw food or fresh water.
After they are fully settled, if you want to change their food, transition slowly by mixing more of the new food into the Royal Canin over a week or two.
Keep socialising gently — new people, sounds and environments, all in a positive way.

Your kitten comes with two months of complimentary pet insurance — activate it on or before collection day, then decide whether to continue or switch before the cover ends.
Pedigree papers from Cats NSW will follow a few weeks after collection; we'll post them on.
We're here for life. Nothing is too silly to ask, or too small to mention.
If you ever need to rehome your cat, please bring them back to us so we can help find them the right family.
