How to Adjust Your Cat to Its New Home

-First, keep your new cat in a small quiet room alone for _ days. This way the cat and other pets can sniff each other under the door, but cannot interact yet. Make sure you keep the litter and the food the same for the first few days.

  • Make sure the room has a lot of hiding spaces. Next, let the cat explore the house without other pets.
  • When introducing the cat to other pets, let them see each other through a gate. Make sure to watch them closely just in case there are any problems. Cat experts also recommend feeding the animals on opposite sides of the gate while introducing them to provide a positive experience.
  • When your cat is ready, you can remove the gate. Continue to watch them closely and keep dogs on leashes.

Remember to go at your cat’s pace. Don’t pet or pick up the cat until they are ready.

Starting off by just feeding and cleaning the litter box is a great way to bond with your new cat. You can also sit on the floor and let the cat come to you. Kids can read to the cat to get it used to their voice.

  • It is also recommended to keep small children away from the cat for the first few days.
  • Be patient with your cat. Your cat may not completely open up for a while. The cat will be ready on their own time
  • We recommend a visit to your regular veterinarian in the near future. A copy of all medical records and vaccination certificates are attached with the Home Again Chip information.
  • Contact Home Again to transfer the chip to your name, if not it will be listed under Angel Ridge. If there are any problems, contact Barb Brown.
