The first week in a new home sets the tone for your kitten’s entire life with you. Here’s our day-by-day guide based on 25 years of placement experience.

Day 1: Arrival

Set up a quiet room with food, water, litter, and the blanket from our cattery. Let the kitten explore at their own pace. Resist the urge to overwhelm them with attention.

Days 2-3: Building Trust

Spend time in the room reading or working quietly. Let the kitten approach you. Offer treats by hand. Keep other pets separated.
