Tips for a Successful Cat Adoption

1. Choosing the Right Cat

Kittens are generally more active and require constant supervision. Older cats tend to be less active and may prefer a quieter household.  Consider how your new cat will fit into your home environment lifestyle.

2. Preparing Your Home

Cats and kittens love to climb and explore.  Before bringing home your new pet, take a look at your household to make sure that your cat can explore their new home safely.  Stock up on cat toys, food and treats to keep your pet happy and entertained.

3. Schedule a Vet Visit

It is recommended that you bring your new cat to the vet within their first week home.  It is important to bring the medical records that you received at adoption, to your first vet visit.
