When you home the kitten, ask the previous owner what sort of cat litter the kitten is used to, and offering that litter to start with. Some kittens can be very fussy about what they pee and poop on, and you don't want to change too many things for the newbie in the house. Give the kitten a few days to settle in and become confident where the tray is, then you can start to think about changing over litter for whatever reason. Some types of litter are designed to clump or deodorize any smells from your cat's waste.  You or your cat may find a certain type of litter to be best.  Review the following types of litter to learn which you and your cat may prefer:  Litter that is safe for kittens.  Find a litter that is made of larger, more coarse ingredients such as pine.  Many litters will also say “safe for kittens” on the packaging.  Some litters however may not be appropriate for kittens, such as clumping-type litters or litters that produce a lot of dust.  Clumping-type litters may be ingested by your kitten and can cause stomach discomfort.   Overly dusty litters are bad for your kittens lungs and might cause respiratory problems. The scoop-able or clumping-type of cat litter.  This types makes cleaning easy and requires less thorough replacement than other types of litter.  These are also good at reducing the odor and well-liked by most cats.  Non-clumping litter.  This type is good at removing odors and is usually less expensive than the clumping type.  However, urine might saturate the litter and cause frequent, full changes of the litter.  Crystal-based/silica gel litter.  This type of litter is highly-absorbent, sucking up moisture, urine, and odor.  Once the crystals fully absorb, you will need to change the full amount of litter.  Plant-based/bio-degradable litter.   These may be pine pellets, wheat, and/or corn that neutralize the odors.  This type is that it does not create as much dust or tracking as other litters. Plant-based litter may be a safer option for cats with respiratory problems. Using a scooper made of metal or sturdy plastic, remove all the clumped urine and the feces. Keeping the box free of waste will prevent odors and encourage your cat to use the litter-box.  Scoop at least once a day, more if you have multiple cats. Make sure to remove all waste. Clean your scooper to prevent the spread of bacteria. For the sake of the hygiene of garbage collectors, put the waste in a dog poop bag and knot it before putting it in the trash. If you use flush-able litter, flush waste down the toilet. Always wash your hands after cleaning the litter-box. You may want to try wearing gloves. After scooping the litter-box or cleaning it, make sure to fill it up with an adequate amount of litter.  Your cat may have its own preference when it comes to litter depth, so pay attention to its usage.  Make sure the litter stays about two inches deep, as most cats prefer this. Some cats with long hair may prefer shallower litter.
