Introducing Your New Cat
When you introduce a new cat into your house, he/she may be skittish and uncertain. Many cats will want to hide, possibly for days. This is perfectly normal and is not a cause for worry - unless your cat seems unwell or isn't eating, drinking, or using the litter box.
If possible, for the first two or three days at home, put the cat, along with the litter box and food & water bowls, in a room or two that can be closed off from the rest of the house. Make sure the litter box is as far away from the food and water as possible. As you speak gently to the new arrival, reassuring him/her that there is no need to come out until he/she is perfectly ready, your call will quickly gain confidence and begin to feel more comfortable. Let your cat explore at his/her own pace, but keep the litter box and food bowls in the same rooms for a few days longer, so that your cat has a safe place to retreat when feeling overwhelmed by new experiences.
Feral Cats
Feral cats should be sterilized, vaccinated and permitted to live outside, they are not adoptable and are un-happy inside your home.
Kittens under nine (9) weeks can be tamed.
