Whether you’re adopting a kitten or an adult cat, the first day together is the beginning of a beautiful chapter. Capture it.
First Day Keepsakes
- First photo: The car journey home, the first explore of the house, the first nap in their new bed.
- Paw print: Take a paw print while they’re sleepy. Ink pad kits work on cats with patience and treats.
- Arrival date record: Write down their name, adoption date, estimated age, and first impressions.
Annual Traditions
- Gotcha day photo: Same pose each year. Kittens change dramatically in the first year.
- Weigh-in: Track their weight annually (your vet does this anyway).
- Personality notes: Record their quirks each year. Where they sleep, what toys they love, their favourite spot in the house.
Gift Ideas for Cat Adopters
If someone you know has just adopted a cat, a personalised keepsake is far more meaningful than a standard gift. A custom portrait, a name print, or a cat-themed keepsake box shows thoughtfulness.
