Bringing a new cat into your home can be an exciting yet challenging experience. It's essential to ensure that your new feline friend feels safe and comfortable in their new environment. As your Kitty Correspondent, I’ve created these helpful tips to make the transition smoother for both you and your new cat:
Tips for Introducing a New Cat to Your Home
Prepare a Small Space: Set up a small, quiet room for your new cat. This space should include:
A litter box
Food and water bowls
A cozy bed or blanket
Familiar Items: If possible, bring home items that are familiar to your cat from the shelter or rescue, such as:
A blanket or towel they used
A favorite toy
Once your cat if feeling safe in this space, you can let her explore more parts of your house one room at a time. To get more tips on this next step in introducing your cat to your home, get my complete guide here:
