| Spoiler Alert- Finished Product! |
In the back I have their sleeping area. I have a cat bed from I got from Walgreens (about $13) and I put a comfy fleece blanket on top. My favorite blankets for this are Serta brand from Walmart ($4.99). They're really soft and stay soft after washing.
I also have a little kitty hut (I call it their hobbit hole) that I will put in the back for their bed too. I've had some kittens that don't like sleeping inside the hut so I use the bed for them instead.

| Finished Product with the Hobbit Hole |
I always put some "cuddle toys" in the bed with them. I found some adorable Martha Stewert dog toys from PetSmart for only $1 with PetPerks card. All of my foster kittens have loved cuddling with them. I can even wash them with their blankets and towels!
Then I put a couple toys on the floor in the middle of the kennel. This is their mini play area while in the kennel. I use soft toys that don't make noise (kittens like to play in the middle of the night!). I also have a scratching post that hangs on the side of the kennel and a couple toys hanging off the top and side of the kennel (you can add a string to any toy and tie to the bars).
At the very front of the kennel is the potty and eating station. I have a litter mat down in the front of the kennel (Arm & Hammer litter mat from Walmart-- its awesome at trapping litter!) with their litter box. I just use a cheap litter box and put a liner in it with litter. I always used a liner-- it makes cleanup so much easier!
Next to it is a food mat with their water and food dishes. I like to have 2 water bowls and 2 food dishes (If I have at least 2 kittens). I found one bowl that actually attaches to the side of the kennel (Petco).
So that's basically how I set up my kitten condo. I'd love to hear other ideas and tips for the perfect kennel! I'm still new at this so I definitely welcome advice!
