A Quick Guide to Welcoming your New Feline Friend
Create a Safe Space:
Set up a quiet area with a bed, litter box, food, water, and toys where your cat can adjust.
Allow Time to Adjust:
Cats may be shy at first. Let them explore their new surroundings at their own pace without forcing interaction.
Introduce Pets Gradually:
If you have other pets, start with scent exchanges before supervised meetings to ensure a smooth introduction.
Stick to a Routine:
Establish regular feeding, play, and cleaning times to help your cat feel secure.
Bond through Play:
Engage in gentle play with interactive toys and offer affection, respecting your cat’s boundaries.
Provide Mental Stimulation:
Offer scratching posts, climbing spaces, and puzzle feeders to keep them entertained.
Schedule a Vet Visit:
Once settled, take your cat for a check-up to ensure they’re healthy and up to date on vaccinations.
By being patient and understanding, you’ll help your new cat feel right at home and build a strong, lasting bond!
