What should you pay attention to when adopting a cat? These things should be done when a cat gets home

There are many people adopting cats now, but some things must be paid attention to. Be prepared before the cats arrive home to provide them with a comfortable environment, otherwise the cats may feel uncomfortable, which will lead to emotional or personality problems.

First, prepare a quiet, warm and well-ventilated room or corner for the cat to avoid direct sunlight and cold airflow. Ensure that there are no plants and dangerous items that are toxic to cats in the living environment, such as plastic bags, threads, etc. Cats like high places and can prepare a cat climbing frame or cat jumping platform to meet their needs for exploration and activities.

Secondly, regularly clean the living areas of cats, including cat litter boxes, food bowls, water basins, etc. to reduce bacterial growth. Use pet-specific disinfectant for environmental disinfection, but be careful not to let the cats come into contact with the disinfectant.

In terms of diet, learn from the former owner or adoption agency about the eating habits of cats, including the number of times you eat, amount of food, cat food brand, etc. During the first week when the cat enters the home, try to maintain its original eating habits and avoid sudden changes in cat food and causing gastrointestinal discomfort. According to the cat's age and physical condition, arrange the number of feedings and amount of food reasonably. Kittens need more nutrition and energy and should increase the number of feedings; adult cats can appropriately reduce the number of feedings.

In addition, after the cat enters the home, it should be observed for 7-10 days, and then undergo a physical examination and vaccination after it adapts to the new environment. Physical examination items include ear canal examination, skin examination, eye, nose, mouth and anal examination, and infectious disease examination. Vaccination is an important measure to prevent cat diseases, and cat triple and rabies vaccines should be vaccinated on time.

In short, you must pay close attention to the physical and mental state of the cat. If there are any abnormalities, you should seek medical treatment in time. At the same time, taking cats for physical examinations and vaccination regularly is also an important measure to keep them healthy.
