As a rule, it takes from several days to 2-3 weeks for a kitten to adapt to new living conditions and the people who will now be its environment.

Fortunately, we can help our pet settle into his new home more quickly and get used to the things and people around him.

What should owners do in the first days of a kitten in a new home?

When a kitten first arrives in a new home, it may experience stress and fear, especially if it was taken from its mother too early.

During this time, it is important to provide him with a quiet and comfortable place to rest and sleep, as well as bowls with food and water and a litter box.

The Importance of Communication with Your Pet

To help the kitten get used to its new owners faster, zoopsychologists advise communicating with it as often as possible, petting it, and playing with it. These simple actions will help it get used to the new environment faster and feel comfortable.

How to Introduce a Kitten to Other Animals

Those people who already have other animals living in their home will have a slightly harder time, because they will have to organize the introduction of their pets.

This should be done carefully to avoid conflicts and stress. It is important to understand that each pet is unique and has its own character, so adaptation may take longer.

Safety of the new family member

To ensure that your kitten is safe, be sure to remove dangerous objects, keep windows and doors closed, and make sure that electrical wires are out of your furry little one's reach.
