Products I use and recommend

        

                     FOOD / FEEDING

I am feeding my kittens ADVANCE kitten food.

Check the ingredients, the first few ingredients should be the meat content.  No grains and no fillers are good.

Also cats are true carnivores, unlike dogs they don’t need fruits and vegetables.

I really like the Orijen Cat food.  Although it always sells out, its a great food for all life stages.

SHAMPOO

Any baby shampoo that is gentle, organic with no soap. (from baby isle at the chemist or supermarket).  They are always bringing new ones out.

I use this product from USA. It needs to be ordered online but it’s great and made for nudie cats.  NudieNaturals.com  shampoo and conditioner.

WIPES

Wiping down your Donskoy cat is a great alternative for those cats and owners that are a bit nervous giving and taking bathes.

There are some great wipes on the market these days, however, my favourites are these……

Yes I get them from the US, but they are worth it until I find something similar here in Australia.  These wipes are truly thick and truely grab that dirt and oils.

KITTY LITTER

**Use natural Kitty Litter.

You can choose your own litter but always keep it natural, sometimes cats ingest the litter while grooming.  Try and stay away from crystals. 
CHANDLER is good for those kittys that have sensitive paws.  Not all cats like the chunckyness of the pallets.

** it is a good idea to use a litter mat as well.  I like these as they trap the litter and help keep the surrounds clean.  Note the bigger the better.

FLEES

I don’t flee my cats. If they get flees it will be very obvious as they have no fur.  So don’t bother unless they need it.

EARS

The ears get really grubby.  I don’t exaggerate…. They don’t have hair to keep gunk out of them. Get yourself some ear wipes and some baby cotton buds and be prepared to clean them well every week.

EYES

Eyes: Must be kept clean. (I clean them daily as babies) .  If discharge occurs take Kitten to the veterinary.  Since a Donskoy does not have any eyelashes they get particles (like from their litter, carpet /rugs & woolen jumpers) and dust in their eyes, this can irritate and cause infections.

Clothes: not all cats like wearing clothes.  You can get some really nice stuff on ETSY, but if you just want basic good clothes I recommend this lady, she has a facebook page @stitchedbycherylbetts.

 

DO NOT let any cat outside.  But especially a DONSKOY, firstly it is susceptible to the weather, secondly it can be taken, thirdly it can be injured or worse. 

Nothing good comes from letting cats outside!

A Donskoy is a very new breed.  It has very few health concerns.  Please shop for a veterinary who is willing to do some research into your new family member.  Please remind your vet that a Donskoy is not a Sphynx!  They are different.
