This is a three-week class for kittens ages 8 to 13 weeks and their owners. The first orientation (without kittens) session covers litter-box problem prevention, destructive scratching prevention and coping with normal rough play. Weeks two and three (with kittens) provide the opportunity for socialization with other kittens, new people and new environments in a controlled and positive manner.
Kitten Kindergarten participants practice nail-trimming skills and teaching kittens to accept handling and restraint. They also learn to desensitize their kittens to the carrier. For added fun, we teach the kittens to come when called, sit and give a “high five.” Classes include playtime and information about typical cat behavior. Cost for the three-week session: $30.
Kitten Kindergarten is held from April to November.
