Considering adding a cat into the family dynamic? Cat adoption is a momentous occasion for your family. Unfortunately, the process isn’t always as easy as you might think! To help ensure a smooth transition for you and your new feline friend, here are some ways you can create a happy, forever home:

Create a welcoming space. There’s no place like home: Building a sanctuary will make your new furry friend much more comfortable settling into a new environment. For instance, adding two litter boxes, some food, water, toys and a resting place will make their experience a lot more enjoyable.

Keep it tidy. It’s important to keep your cat’s litter boxes well-maintained. This leaves your cat feeling extra clean, and encourages them to continually use it. New Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Complete Odour Sealing Cat Litter is specially formulated for a seven-day odour free home. No other litter forms a tight seal around litter and destroys it with unique odour eliminators and Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. Your cat will also love the new softer feel! It’s available in two varieties: Fresh Home and Multi-Cat.

Spend quality time together. Well, what are you waiting for? Spend a few hours a day with your new friend (especially at the beginning) to give a little bit of reassurance. It may take some time for your cat to warm up to you, but it’ll all be worth it!

Introduce your new pet. If you already have the fortune of owning a pet, make sure both parties meet with calm and ease. It’s best to let the new one explore your house early on without any interference from others. Your cat will eventually adapt to the scents of others around and maybe make another furry friend.
