Spotitude Savannahs
Shopping List for your new kitten
Cat Towers and Beds
Tall cat trees or climbing towers. Savannahs love to climb, so the taller the better!
Sisal rope scratching posts – essential for healthy claws, muscle stretches, and claiming their turf.
Cat cave style cat bed perfect for a safe, cozy out-of-the-way nap spot.
Cat Toys
Cat exercise wheel – All Spotitude kittens are trained by their moms to run on the One Fast Cat Wheel from when they’re little. The wheel is a great way to get your high energy kitten the exercise they need! www.onefastcast.com
Cat tunnels — great for playing hide-and-seek.
Heavy-duty stuffed animal toys – Look for toys labeled ‘bite-proof’ or ‘indestructible.
Laser pointer, and reward treats for when they “catch” the red dot.
Wand toys – great for bonding, burning off energy, and showing off their jumping skills.
Travel
Cat carrier – Your kitten will be used to both soft and hard-sided carriers. Get a larger size carrier – They won’t stay little for long, so go with a size they can grow into.
Feliway Calming Spray – Helps your kitten feel more relaxed during travel, vet visits, or any new experience.
Meal Time
Ceramic or metal food and water dishes
Water Fountains (preferably metal ones) Savannahs love splashing around in water bowls. Fountains = less mess, more hydration.
Interactive food puzzles or feeders – satisfies hunting instincts, slows down eating.
Cat litter
Litter box – Start with a basic, low-sided box that’s easy for kittens to access. As they grow, you can switch to a larger box, with taller sides, or even a litter robot. For now, they’re used to a simple setup, and that’s the best way to ensure they stay consistent with their good litter habits right from the start.
Rule of thumb: one box per cat, plus one extra—and ideally, at least one box on each floor of your home.
Litter – Your kitten will be fully litter box trained and familiar with both clumping clay litter and wood pellet litter. Stick with the clumping clay litter they’re used to while they adjust to their new home.
Enzymatic cleaner – It’s a good idea to keep a pet-safe enzyme cleaner on hand, just in case you ever need it.
Outdoor options
We don’t recommend free-roaming, but that doesn’t mean your cat can’t enjoy the outdoors. Leash walks and secure catios offer fresh air and adventure—without the risks.
Cat harness and leash – A well-fitting harness (or an XXS dog harness) and a lightweight leash are perfect for outdoor adventures together. Your kitten will be accustomed to wearing a harness, but will have just begun practicing to walk on a leash.
Secure catio – A cozy, enclosed space with walls, a roof, and a floor—perfect for safe bird-watching and sunbathing.
Tracking device – such as a GPS tracker or in urban areas an apple airtag or galaxy smart tag for piece of mind.
Additional Enrichment ideas
YouTube “bird videos for cats” – for a feline Netflix and chill.
Cat video games from the App Store or Google Play to play with – search “video games for cats”. Pro tip: use airplane mode!
A cat for your cat! Savannahs really benefit from having a playmate for the shared late-night zoomies.
