Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area with food, water, and a cozy bed for the cat to retreat to. This helps them feel secure in their new environment.
Go Slow: Allow the cat time to adjust to your home. Don’t overwhelm them with too much attention initially; let them explore at their own pace.
Check for Identification: If the stray looks healthy, check for a collar or any other form of identification. Consider taking them to the vet to check for a microchip.
Visit the Veterinarian: A vet check-up is essential to ensure the cat is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations, flea treatment, and neutering.
Provide Litter Boxes: Place a litter box in an easily accessible location. Make sure it's clean and welcoming to encourage proper use.
Offer High-Quality Food: Start with high-quality, easily digestible food to help the cat regain strength and health after possibly being on the streets.
Be Patient: It may take time for the cat to trust you. Avoid forcing interactions, and allow them to approach you when they're ready.
