There\u2019s all that unexplored space, and who knows what may lurk there. Do him a favor and provide a small area to call his own for the first few days or weeks. A bathroom or laundry room works well. Furnish the room with cat amenities, such as food, water and a litter box. You\u2019ll want to spend time with your cat, so make sure there\u2019s a comfortable place for you to sit as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul id=\"u798-13\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li id=\"u798-12\" class=\"Body-Text\">Fill a litter box with one or two inches of litter and place it in his room where he can use it undisturbed.

If he came home in a cat carrier, that might be a good choice. You can also make one by cutting a doorway for her in the end of a box. If you prefer, you can buy a covered cat bed at a pet supply store. In either case, make sure the space is big enough for the cat to stand up and turn around in. Cat \u201cfeng shui\u201d probably requires that he or she be able to see the door to the room from his hidey hole, so he won\u2019t be startled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul id=\"u798-34\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li id=\"u798-33\" class=\"Body-Text\">A cat\u2019s claws need to be worn down, and they do this by scratching on things. Since you prefer that it not be your chairs and sofa, provide your cat with a socially acceptable scratching place. Some types are made of corrugated cardboard and lie on the floor; others are posts which have to be tall enough so that the cat can extend himself upward to scratch. You can encourage your cat (once he has arrived) to use the post by sprinkling it with catnip or dangling a toy at the top. He\u2019ll get the idea. You\u2019ll probably want a scratching post in each room where there is soft furniture, perhaps blocking access to it. You can also install sticky tape (available at pet supply stores) to corners of upholstered furniture to dissuade scratching.

Preferably, bring her home in a cat carrier. It will feel safer to her. She has seen a lot of excitement, so take her directly to her new room. (Make sure the toilet lid is down, if she\u2019s to acclimate in your bathroom.) Ideally, you would restrict her exposure to the whole family, but naturally, everyone is going to want to see her. Remind them of the ground rules you\u2019ve set up.<\/p>\n<ul id=\"u798-59\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li id=\"u798-58\" class=\"Body-Text\">Sit on the floor and let her come to you. Don\u2019t force her. Just let her get acquainted on her own time. If she doesn\u2019t approach, leave her alone and try again later. Some cats are particularly frightened, and she may retreat to her hidey hole and not come out when you\u2019re around at all. She may only come out at night when the house is quiet. Give her time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul id=\"u798-62\" class=\"list0 nls-None\">\n<li id=\"u798-61\" class=\"Body-Text\">Your newly adopted cat may not eat much or at all at first. It\u2019s best to give your cat the same food she had at the shelter or in her foster home, at least at first. Keeping some things familiar will make her feel more secure. Be sure to change her water frequently and make sure that she is drinking. If your cat hasn\u2019t eaten for a few days, call your vet to ask for advice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"Body-Header\">Following Weeks:<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_106\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"106\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/2018\/05\/11\/welcoming-your-cat-into-your-home\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?fit=375%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"375,375\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"brown tabby kittens for adoption 14\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Baby Bobby&#8217;s Meow House and Rescue in Temecula, CA&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rescued Tabby Kittens Snuggled&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?fit=375%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-106\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14-300x300.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"BBMHR Rescued Tabby Kittens Snuggled\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/brown-tabby-kittens-for-adoption-14.jpg?w=375&amp;ssl=1 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rescued Tabby Kittens Snuggled<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"Body-Text\">It may take your cat a week or two to adjust.
