Welcoming your kitten home

Before you collect your new kitten, listen to this petcast about the kinds of preparations you should be making. A warm, friendly home can go a long way to acclimatising a new member of the family, but there are many practical steps you’ll need to take to make your new kitten feel truly safe and comfortable.

Welcoming your adult cat home

Many people prefer to adopt an adult cat. Pedigree varieties can be acquired from a breeder, whilst moggies and the occasional pedigree are available from one of the many rescue centres across the country. Such centres will usually request a donation towards the costs incurred in caring for the animals they have taken in.

Welcoming your rescue cat home

In this petcast Dr Peter Neville, Purina’s Pet Behaviourist, discusses the kinds of things you should be doing to prepare your home for a rescue cat. Welcoming an adult rescue pet into your home is different from welcoming a young puppy or kitten, but there are great similarities in terms of creating a routine and helping them feel safe.

Making your home cat-friendly

When you come home with a new cat, it goes without saying that you want to make your home and garden as safe as possible. But where do you start? Many common household objects are highly toxic to cats even in low quantities.

Meeting the family

When it comes to bringing kittens home, take the new arrivals to their 'safe room' and let them get their bearings. Fill their litter trays with litter brought from the breeder and let them have a good sniff around and find their bed. When they have investigated every nook and cranny, have a cuddle and see if they need a rest.

Litter training your cat

Cats are extraordinarily fussy and tend to relieve themselves outdoors in relatively open and unused areas. Unless they are spraying or marking (deliberately leaving their scent as a territorial marking), cats carefully cover their waste and move on. Cats are extremely clean animals and as owners we need to make sure their toilet is clean and in the right place to avoid problems.

Introducing your cat to other pets

Cats are usually territorial creatures. Their sociability with other animals depends on several influences including genetics, whether they were raised by an experienced mother with siblings or alone, and whether they have had social contact with other animals from a young age. So it can sometimes be a rather unpredictable affair bringing a new cat home to live with an existing resident.
