We just bathed our 6 week old kitten. We treated him for fleas when we got him home from the shelter and he was covered in flea dirt . . . and he was very stinky!

You HAVE to get a shampoo that is safe for kittens. Your vet can get you some or a specialty pet store.

We bathed Brodie in the sink.

Before you start, put TWO TOWELS IN THE DRYER! Very important to keep the kitty warm once you get finished.

Fill the sink with luke warm water and put the kitty in it (hold on to it though)

Lather up your kitty with shampoo. But don't get it in the kitty's eyes!

Rinse your kitten off with clean water . . . using a cup . . . we even stuck Brodie under the faucet . . . some people use those gun sprayers.

As soon as the soap is off, get him in a dry towel!!! And just let it stay in that towel . . . your kitten will shiver & shake . . . but as long as it's in the towel, it will be warm . . . probably shaking from being scared!

And when that towel starts to cool down, put it in the next towel!!!

Keep your kitty in a room that is free of drafts until the kitty's dry.

Good luck . . . and be ready to hear some screaming!
