Tips for bringing adult cats home the first time
- Continue feeding the current diet initially to reduce the chance of diet intolerance.
- Use the same litter box and litter to minimize stress; some cats may require 2 litter boxes. The number of litter box should be number of cats + 1 for multi-cat households, for instance, there should be 4 litter boxes in a 3 cats household.
- Obtain and provide the cat's vaccination records and medical history to your vet.
- Learn as much as possible about the cat, especially if it's adopted with an unknown history.
- Consider a vet checkup, particularly for older or purebred cats prone to health issues.
- Provide a quiet place for the cat to rest and allow them to become familiar with their new surroundings.
