Welcome!! I have a 7 month old kitten named Nakita and she has been a handful.
The best advice I can give is baby proof your household. Kittens will get into everything! Also, make sure you don't have any plants that are toxic to cats (many people forget about the plants until their cat gets sick). Also, be patient with the new kitten. Teaching her/him what is right from wrong takes patience and love not anger and frustration.
Also, please don't consider declawing the kitten.There are many views on declawing but in the end you should do what is in the best interests of the cat. And no cat would favour declawing! If you need any info on declawing I would be happy to provide it for you.
The best way to provide the best for your cat is to educate yourself first. I had a very scary experience when I took Nakita to be spayed. The drug that they used had a really bad effect on her and I had no idea to even ask what type of drug the vet was using. When I started reading up on the drug many people have had the same experience and will no longer allow their vet's to use it. Now I have educated myself and will be looking for another type of anaesthetic if she needs another operation.
Ok, I'm stepping off my soap box! Feel free to ask any questions at anytime. And remember to post pics when you get the little one home with you!
