A Day in the Life
We wanted to give our kitty families a glimpse into a day in the life of our kitty land.
We have found over the years that there are several products and a cleaning routine we swear by to keep our kitty space sparkling clean, smelling good, and keeping our kittens, moms & dads in top-notch health. We often run our cleaning and feeding routine by our two vets that help us with our kittens. Paws & Claws Animal Hospital and Capeside Animal Hospital.
We have a daily routine of first, checking each kitten each morning when we tell everyone good morning. All the babies that are older than 6 weeks get a breakfast of canned food and an immune support supplement. Next, we start stripping each litter box & any bedding boxes. Those areas are sprayed with an awesome product called My Pet Peed. It is a wonderful cleaner and deodorizer. While the litter boxes soak, we clean and or replace any sleeping boxes. Each box gets a fresh blanket or towel. If the kittens are old enough, we let them run around and play, if they have been in one of our Meowternity houses. We keep the tiny babies and moms separate from the kittens that can run around.
We will take Rescue wipes and wipe down all surfaces where young litter is housed. We then take our trusty Eureka vacuum and get all the nooks and crannies and cat trees. It's hard to believe how much of a mess can happen from one day to the next. Once the floor is vacuumed, we mop with Rescue and water solution. The cat trees are sprayed with My Pet Peed. We will wipe down all the walls with My Pet Peed as well as the bleach and water.
Water bowls are taken out and washed and sanitized and fill with fresh cool water. The litter boxes also get washed and sanitized daily. Right now we are using Petco's brand SoPhresh along with PetSmart's brand Exquisite Cat paper pellets. This is a dust free paper pellet litter that we have had great success with.
As well as cleaning all surfaces, we have running 24/7 is another product we discovered last year and could not live without is our Air Oasis Commercial Air Scrubber/ Purifiers 3000XG3. Our reason for purchasing is the purifier is it addresses mold, bacteria, and viruses in the air and on surfaces.
Once everything is scrubbed and fresh bedding is in their boxes, all kittens go back to their living areas.
Before bed each night we recheck everyone, kiss noses, feed, and pick litter boxes a final time.
Just one of our daily cleaning routines can take around 4 or 5 hours!
