You\u2019re going to be bringing a new cat home soon. Whether it\u2019s a new kitten, an adult cat, or an older cat, you want to know how to get her used to her new environment. How to acclimate a cat to a new home? Preparation is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s going to make your new family member feel comfortable? What can you do to provide her with a safe and protective space? Learn more about acclimating your cat to a new home to ensure that she transitions as smoothly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Your Cat a Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"cat<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you have an extra room<\/a> in your place, designate that area as your new cat home for now. Place her litter box in the new room, along with a cat bed, cat food and bowls, water bowls, toys, a scratching post, and a cat tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having access to the entire house at first may be overwhelming, so start off with the one room until she gets more comfortable being in her new surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This safe room will calm her anxiety if she is experiencing any. It will also be her safe place if she needs a refuge when you\u2019re having people over or there are loud noises in your home. You could install a cat flap on the door so that she can go in and out as she pleases and gets used to your home at her own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a Cat Carrier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"how<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When bringing your new cat home for the first time, get a secure but lightweight carrier you can transport her in. It will make her feel safe as well as protect her. It\u2019s best to get a carrier you can open from the top and then lower the cat into. You could cover the carrier with a lightweight blanket or towel so that your cat feels safer as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Give Your Cat a Hiding Place <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"meow<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Along with a safe room, you can provide your cat with a variety of hiding places to make her feel more comfortable. Place cardboard boxes in a quiet corner of your home, for instance, so she can play in them and hide out there if she needs to. You could even put a cave cat bed or blankets and toys in the cardboard box to make her feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great option for a cat bed is the Cozy Cuddler Cat and Dog Bed. It comes with an attached pet blanket and a flexible design so that your cat can curl up or sprawl out depending on how she feels. It also comes with a soft faux fur interior, which will make your pet feel warm and cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Try Calming Pheromones <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your cat is having trouble adjusting to her new house, she may be experiencing anxiety. Perhaps she had bad experiences in other people\u2019s homes or she\u2019s simply a skittish cat. You can invest in Feliway\u2019s Classic Diffuser, which is a calming pheromone diffuser you plug into the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will emit a synthetic type of pheromone that cats naturally make from the scent glands located in their cheeks. You can plug this into her safe place, or anywhere else in the house, to relieve some of her stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Your Home Cat-Proof <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"prayer<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You need to make your home as safe as possible for your new cat, which means that you\u2019ll have to make some things cat-proof. For instance, since cats go after electrical cords, you can use plastic cord management covers or wrap your cords<\/a> with double-sided tape to protect your kitty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, look into poisonous plants you need to keep out of your home. Some of these include oleander, peace lily, sage palm, daffodils, and amaryllis. If your cat gets into poisonous plants, she may get very sick and, in the worst-case scenario, pass away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since cats can jump, don\u2019t leave anything fragile out where she may destroy it and get hurt. If you\u2019re going to light candles, for instance, make sure you supervise your cat around them at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make an Introduction to Your Other Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you have one or more cats before you bring home your new cat, make sure you introduce a cat the right way. On the first day, instead of having your feline friends meet right away, do scent swapping instead<\/a>. You can have them exchange bedding so that both of their scents will mix and create a communal scent. If your new cat has a positive reaction, that means you can proceed. But if the reaction is negative, you may need to introduce both of your cats at a slower pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resident cat could also spend a night in the new cat\u2019s space to get used to her. Your new cat should be relaxed and not skittish when you do this. If your resident cat shows signs of distress because she\u2019s in a new place, then don\u2019t do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that step is completed, you can do a visual introduction and have your cats see each other through a baby gate or a door that\u2019s held slightly open so that they can\u2019t pass through. Then, you can do supervised contact. If that goes well, you can try unsupervised contact for short periods of time. If you\u2019re sure that they\u2019re getting along, you can then leave them alone together for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
