Hi, kittens should have toys that stimulate activity and exercise, like toys that have feathers on them, balls and catnip infused toys. For protection against parasites, she should be on a monthly topical preventative such as frontline, vectra or revolution. Good food is essential, and any high quality brand like Science Diet dry food or canned food should be good. I would not free feed her, only give him her portion of dry food twice a day to avoid het getting overweight. Also, Bella should be taken to a vet a dewormed and spayed. Good luck with Bella!
