Do you have a small quiet space, such as a spare bedroom or bathroom, to provide a new cat(s) a safe place to become adjusted to your home? Introducing a cat to a new environment or other animals is stressful for most cats. The transition to their new home and other animals, as well as getting used to their new litter box and scratching post, tends to be the least stressful for them and have the most lasting success if they have a smaller "safe" room to start in before having access to the whole house and other animals. This introduction should be done slowly and often can take 7-10 days depending on the cat. *	Yes No
The cat(s) you are interested in may need additional training when they go to their new home to use their litter box and scratching post consistently. Many of our cats come from unknown backgrounds and may have used litter boxes and scratching posts for the first time when they entered our program. We work very hard to help teach them to use litter boxes and scratching posts; however, some cats require "refreshers" when they go to their new homes. *	Yes, I understand.
Please note that you will be receiving an emailed response within 72 hours from the Cats Home Adoption Teams. Please make sure that you check you spam/junk mail in case your correspondence from the Adoption Team does not go into your inbox *	I understand and will check my spam/junk mail.
