Help with recommended cat equipment please - I need everything, fast!

[minipie]

Sooo we are off to see two rescue cats this weekend and one of them, if we like her, we would be taking home pretty much straight away!!! So excited!

But... I don’t have anything! Except a catflap, which will be kept locked for a while anyway. I thought we’d be looking for a while so didn’t get organised.

Please can you recommend to me any particular cat bed, cat tower, and scratching post you’ve found cats particularly seem to like? Bowls - are water fountains better or not necessary for most cats?

I was thinking one or two of those mostly enclosed felt ball type of beds so she can hide away a bit?

Any recommendations much appreciated.

Hopefully they will rehome that cat with one of her kittens.

Fancy giving her up like that? It must be a bacpacking for three months kind of trip. Unbelievable.

I know, unbelievable. Although the rescue staff said they hear all sorts and basically it usually just means “can’t be bothered anymore”. Often seems to be young cats (1yr ish) who’ve outgrown the kitten stage
