Your kitten's first collar should be a safety collar made for cats that will pull away easily in case the collar gets snagged. It should fit with enough slack to get two fingers in between the collar and her neck but not loosely enough to slide over her head. Be sure to check the size every few days while your kitten is growing.
You can help your kitten get used to her collar by initially putting it on her for only short periods of time. If she seems uncomfortable or struggles and scratches at it, don't be concerned; it should only take a few days for your kitten to get used to having it on. When she begins to ignore it, you can leave her collar on all the time.
Remember that your kitten can easily get lost, especially in her early weeks, so it's important that you attach an identification tag to her collar. This tag should include her name and your contact information.
As your kitten will also be microchipped, this is an effective and easy way of linking your kitten to you. For further information, please refer to the section on microchipping.
