First Bath For Street Kitten and How to Give a Street Kitten Its First Bath

If you’ve just adopted a kitten from a street, you’ll want to know how to give it its First Bath. Bathing a kitten can be a stressful experience for both of you, so it’s best to prepare your home for a successful bathing experience. Listed below are some tips to help you get started. First, find a bath big enough for your kitten to fit into. Be sure that you fill it only halfway, not to the cat’s belly! Finally, make sure it’s warm enough for your kitten to enjoy.

Once you have a bathtub, make sure the water is warm enough to safely bathe a kitten. A sink can be too warm for a kitten, so run a hot shower before you put your kitten in the tub. During the bath, the water should be comfortably warm, but not hot. Make sure to use a baby shampoo, specifically for kittens, or a fragrance-free dish detergent. When bathing your kitten, be sure to avoid the eyes and ears.

During the bath, pick up your kitten by the shoulder section and gently dunk it in the water. Start at the back of its neck and work your way down. Avoid wetting the head and try not to mimic your cat’s reactions. A gentle spritz of water is more effective. Afterward, compliment your kitten for the job well done! A kitten may be scared of water at first, so keep the noise low and use a spray nozzle that sprays close to its fur.
