The first night home

A quiet start helps a kitten settle. Use the individual care instructions supplied with your kitten.

Set up a safe, quiet room with a place to hide.
Offer the familiar food and fresh water; place the litter tray away from food and water.
Let the kitten explore at its own pace and keep handling gentle.
Watch eating, drinking, toileting and behaviour. If the kitten seems unwell or is not eating, contact a veterinarian promptly.
After seven days, tell us how settling in is going. After thirty days, you may share a story or photo for Journey Home with your permission.
