Getting ready for a new aby kitten in Chicago-advice on vets and preparations needed

In article ,
enlightened us with...
I have put down a deposit on a new aby and she will be ready to pick
up in late August.
Does anyone have an aby kitten? I have had Siamese cats before.
Should I get toys for climbing? I know aby's are pretty wild. Any
other things I should have on hand for her?

You should always have stuff for climbing, no matter the breed. Get a
nice cat tree. Don't forget several scratching posts and pads to place
through the house so she learns early what is okay for her to scratch.
Get toys to play with her with, such as those long trailing wand things.
You can use these to encourage her to scratch her posts, too.

Also, can anyone recommend a good cat vet on the north side of
Chicago? My old vet was North Avenue Animal Hospital, and I found this
practice to be very incompetent (missing diagnosable illnesses several
time in my cat-lead to an early death)
Any advice would be great! Thanks!


Unfortunately, no, I live in the burbs. Call a local shelter or rescue
group. They usually have good vets. That's how I got my new vet.

Good luck.
